Example Gallery: Integrating with Ansys ProductsΒΆ

This is a collection of examples where Tesseract is integrated with Ansys products in various ways.

The Ansys software suite is heavily used throughout the engineering simulation industry. Wrapping Ansys products as Tesseracts allows you to embed them into Tesseract-driven compute pipelines β€” acting as powerful data generators, differentiable solvers, geometry engines, and more.

You can find the code for all Ansys Tesseracts in the demo/_showcase directory of the Tesseract Core repository.
