Hi guys,

Today I came across with ANSYS AIM, I was wondering what are the advantages of ANSYS AIM over ANSYS Workbench?

Thanks

Samuel Sudhof

I guess the tumble weed says it all. It seems to be Workbench with fewer features in a different hat.

It even loads things like recent files from workbench, even though they are not compatible, which leads me to belive that AIM is just as bug-ridden as Workbench.
