Starting Ansys on Linux

  On the Windows OS platform, installing Ansys (from ISO images) generates dozens of start menu items for starting the different programs (see picture)
  But, on Linux, I cannot find any similar desktop files with shortcuts or links to the different programs. I know that "runwb2" will start workbench. But, I find it hard to figure out how to start the different programs (like Chemkin, for example.) is there a list of commands to start all the different Ansys programs that are installed?
  Thanks,
  Doug

  Check the relevant documentation, most have a getting started section. There should be an executable for each product, assuming it's been installed. We'd typically then alias these in the .cshrc file. n
