2.1 Introduction to Design Modeler
The ANSYS DesignModeler application is designed to be used as a geometry editor of existing CAD
models. The ANSYS DesignModeler application is a parametric feature-based solid modeler designed
so that you can intuitively and quickly begin drawing 2D sketches, modeling 3D parts, or uploading 3D
CAD models for engineering analysis preprocessing.

The ANSYS DesignModeler application's interface is similar to that of most other feature-based
modelers. The graphical user interface is comprised of five basic regions:
