What it can do
- ansys-structural-workbench sets the order for live structural work through the Workbench MCP, from probing the session and writing a job specification to meshing, solving and reporting.
- Routes static, contact and nonlinear tasks to narrower reference skills before the agent changes a model.
- ansys-mechanical-evidence-structural covers Mechanical automation through RunWB2 journals, Mechanical scripting and PyMechanical, with checks on mesh metrics, MAPDL logs and reaction balance.
Limitations
- Written for Codex first; other clients need the folders copied into their own skill directory.
- Assumes the hub's Workbench MCP server is registered as ansys-workbench.
Install
