Major mode for the scripting language APDL
The GNU-Emacs major mode for the programming language APDL APDL (Ansys Parametric Design Language) is the solver scripting language of the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) suite Ansys (ANalysis SYStem, registered TM https://www.ansys.com). APDL-Mode (formerly ANSYS-Mode) represents, in conjunction with the GNU-Emacs editor, an advanced APDL environment with features like keyword completion, code templates, solver communication (GNU-Linux only), license reporting, dedicated keybindings, etc. Nowadays - with the advent of modern GUIs - I find APDL-Mode also useful for studying solver (.dat) files which were created by WorkBench. Likewise for writing WorkBench `Command' snippets and inspecting longer snippets from other sources. Accessing swiftly the Ansys APDL reference documentation alone is worth using APDL-Mode! ------------------------------ First usage: Please type `M-x apdl' to open a buffer under APDL-Mode. From this buffer you can investigate the menu entries `APDL' and `Ansys' and testing some APDL code. The APDL-Mode help you'll find with typing `C-c C-h' together with a brief tutorial.
