1、mechanical APDL是ANSYS的经典界面，通常所说的ANSYS指的就是这个经典界面，大多数教材介绍ANSYS时也是指这个经典界面。
2、workbench是ANSYS推出的一个CAE软件（比如三维建模软件、流体力学计算软件）整合平台，从字面意思上讲，workbench就是工作台的意思，当特指ANSYS Workbench时指的就是这个软件平台。
3、为什么要推出workbench？因为mechanical APDL与CAE软件的相互交流比较困难，workbench在一定程度上弥补了这样的缺点。
4、在界面布局上相比，mechanical APDL继承的是它的传统风格，与一般的CAE软件（比如AutoCAD、CATIA）不同；workbench的界面则与CAE软件比较像，界面相对更加友好。
5、从功能上来说，两者都能独立的完成有限元分析，但由于软件定位不同，mechanical APDL更像是一个求解器，功能强大；workbench则更注重于不同软件之间的相互沟通，在有限元分析这一块的功能不及前者

AQWA 的小常识
1. AQWA是一个求解器，用来建模 、加载和求解，但它跟普通的软件不一样，它没有操作界面，只有一个文件读入窗口，而且读入的文件只能是 *.DAT 。因此所有的建模、加载和求解都要以在 *.DAT文件中编辑来完成。AQWA就是一个有入口和出口的封闭的加工厂，我们无法看到它的加工过程，只能在输入后等待输出；我们输入编辑好得到 *.DAT文件，就会有一些文件的输出，输出文件会放置在输入文件所在的文件夹里。如果*.DAT编辑的是正确和完整的话，AQWA这个加工厂就会给我们提供合格的产品-“res文件”等；这些产品可以在AQWAGS中进行观看。（附：复杂模型建模见 第5条 ）
2. AQWAGS主要是一个后处理器，主要用来查看AQWA的求解结果，进行数据的提取和处理；同时也是AQWA的辅助性可视化窗口，可以看到所建立的模型，可以看到模型在水波中的运动等等；
3. 这个路径很有用： X:Program FilesANSYS Incv121aqwa 其中，X为安装ANSYS软件的根目录
bin 内为主程序文件：win32内有aqwa的打开图标 （注：将 *.DAT文件拖拽到aqwa的图标上可以 直接打开程序运行；在aqwa图标上右键于桌面创建快捷方式后，拖拽 *.DAT文件到桌面的快捷图标上，同样可以打开程序运行；AQWAGS等也是同样的道理）
demo是一些结果文件，可以在AQWAGS中观看；doc是 指导手册（document），有AQWA Reference和各种MANUAL文件；test是经典实例；training是 练习平台；这些都是AQWA提供的实例，其中每个文件夹中都有*.DAT文件，是核心文件。（注：个人建议将其中的*.DAT 拷贝出来进行学习，以免破原始数据，因为在AQWA的“帮助”中会用到其中的文件）
4. 关于 RESTART
使用restart时，OPTIONS 中必须有 REST 项 ； RESTART 中最后列出的文件 必须要与正在编辑的 *.DAT文件在同一个文件夹中；
5. 关于复杂模型的建模
目前认为，用 Mechanical APDL (ANSYS) 建模，然后用 anstoaqwa 命令得到 *.aqwa 文件；再将所得文件的后缀名 由 aqwa 直接改为 dat，即可得到 AQWA能够识别的 *.DAT文件。这是建立复杂模型比较便利的方法。
6. 关于 *.DAT 文件的编辑：
几何模型转化为*.DAT文件以后，其编辑工作才刚刚开始，需用txt文本打开*.DAT文件继续进行编辑。正确的编辑来自于对 AQWA Reference的 认真学习，因为里面有很多 默认条款和结构程序，对各种命令进行了详细的说明。AQWA手册 翻译的很好，可以拿来入门学习。（AQWA Reference 和 AQWA 手册均在群共享中）
结合MANUAL文件学习也是不错的选择，里面也有实例分析的章节，有参考价值
