ANSYS Viewer

[amorphous]

Hello group,
Does anyone know of any kind of viewer available out there where I can view the model, loading, mesh and results created in ANSYS workbench without actual ANSYS software installed?

[I usually perfrom FEA in ANSYS workbench and make report and submit to the customers but this one customer wants to see how I apply loads, create mesh and rotate-zoom into high stress areas and physically see it rather than looking at the tables and plots in the report]

I know VCollab has a software but again with this software I have to buy their pro version and create some presentations and customer has to buy their viewer to view the presentations I created...and I do not know how good this works...just read it on their website... never tried..

Iam looking something where the customer should be able to view the ANSYS files directly with just some kind of viewer.....

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Thank you in advance

I don't have any software in mind, but I have a search suggestion.
Sounds like you need a pre and post processor.

Some open-scource stuff might give you what you need.

I would start here:

Just be sure to adhere to the license aggreement. =)

I think also you can install Workbench without a license and view everything as read only.

you can export as a VRML and view through a standard web browser
