ansys-structural-workbench

ansys-structural-workbench is a skill for Codex from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. It costs 148 tokens per session (1,763 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for carrying out structural analyses in Ansys Workbench and Mechanical through a configured connection. It covers model setup, materials, loads, mesh quality, solving, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an existing project or CAD model, define materials and connections, create named selections, plan or repair a mesh, solve, investigate convergence, and validate results.
Why use it?
It adds checks before and after engineering changes so the analysis is based on the correct project state and its results are supported by evidence.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ansys-structural-workbench scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (scripts/build_analysis_report.py, scripts/calculate_reference_values.py, scripts/evaluate_mesh_convergence.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ANSYS Structural Workbench

Operate Workbench as an engineering workflow with explicit quality gates. Treat the MCP as the execution adapter and this Skill as the analysis, meshing, validation, and reporting policy.

Mandatory book-guidance route

Before inspecting settings for engineering acceptance, mutating the model, meshing, or solving, load ansys-workbench-practical-reference once and use it to select the physics-specific book-derived guidance. This is a required intake gate, not an optional source lookup.

  • Every Static Structural task must load ansys-workbench-static-modeling-reference.
  • A static task with contact or friction must load both ansys-workbench-static-modeling-reference and ansys-workbench-nonlinear-contact-reference.
  • Also load ansys-workbench-nonlinear-contact-reference for plasticity, large deflection, buckling, stabilization, changing contact state, or nonlinear convergence.
  • Modal, transient, explicit, thermal, and optimization tasks load only their matching narrow reference Skill; do not load unrelated book domains.

The book-derived Skills govern modeling assumptions and physical checks. This Skill governs live MCP actions, evidence, and safe execution. Record which guidance Skills were loaded in the task intake or final report. Do not repeatedly re-route after the applicable set has been loaded.

Start safely

  1. Discover the available Workbench MCP tools and read references/mcp-adapter.md. Require the registered server name ansys-workbench unless the user configured an equivalent alias.
  2. Probe both bridge health and live Workbench/Mechanical state. A reachable server is not proof that a project, Model, or analysis is loaded.
  3. Convert the request into the contract in references/job-spec.md, including every applicable analysis profile. Use a temporary in-memory object unless a saved spec benefits the task.
  4. Inspect the current project before mutation. Never clear, overwrite, suppress, or replace existing user work without explicit authorization.
  5. Record assumptions. Stop for missing information only when no conservative, reversible default exists.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

It adds 148 tokens to every session and 1,763 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
