workbench-sim from svd-ai-lab/sim-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/workbench-sim@git:20261018.c8a712ePins git:20261018.c8a712e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the user asks Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT-style coding agents, or another AI agent to connect to Ansys Workbench through sim-cli. Supports Workbench journal execution, project inspection, persistent sessions, Mechanical handoff, bounded execution, artifact reporting, and troubleshooting. Requires a user-owned Ansys installation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# workbench-sim
You are connected to **Ansys Workbench** via sim-cli. This file is the
**index**. It tells you where to look for actual content — it does not
contain the content itself.
The `/connect` response told you which active layers apply via:
```json
"skills": {
"root": "<sim-skills>/workbench",
"active_sdk_layer": "0.4",
"active_solver_layer": "24.1"
}
```
Always read the index for `base/`, then your active `sdk/<version>/`,
then your active `solver/<version>/`. Later layers override earlier
ones on identically-named files.
---
## base/ — always relevant
Concepts, API patterns, and version-agnostic reference:
| Path | What's there |
|---|---|
| `base/reference/pyworkbench_api.md` | PyWorkbench SDK API surface: `launch_workbench`, `run_script_string`, `upload_file`, `download_file`, `start_mechanical_server`, `start_fluent_server`. **Read first.** |
| `base/reference/journal_scripting.md` | IronPython `.wbjn` scripting reference: `SetScriptVersion`, `GetTemplate`, `CreateSystem`, `GetContainer`, and the result file convention. |
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/workbench-sim@sha256:7d4a3d814901f4bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.c8a712e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
