MAPDL is a good old-fashioned command-driven program that takes in text commands one line at a time and executes them. This is awesome because you, as a user, have complete and full access to the huge breadth and depth available in the MAPDL program. One of the most powerful things about ANSYS Mechanical is the fact that it creates an input file of APDL commands that is sent to ANSYS Mechanical APDL (MAPDL) to solve.
We have recently updated it a bit, and added some additional links at the bottom that you should check out, including an interview with John Swanson, the man who invented APDL. This shows how powerful the APDL language is and how building Ansys Mechanical on top of MAPDL was a good move. Editors note: For over ten years, this article has been PADT’s most popular post.
