Basics of APDL Language — Lesson 2

APDL is a scripting language that is used to drive the MAPDL program and it supports all the actions that MAPDL can perform. It has some rules related to syntax and usage and it is important to understand these details. In this video, we will present these basics of language usage and demonstrate its usage via a workshop model. We will also introduce defining and using scalar parameters, which is one of the hallmarks of APDL scripting.
