Although it runs in a different workspace (chunk of memory in the ANSYS database) it talks to standard APDL by importing and exporting APLD arrays (vectors or matrices).
It is an extension to the APDL command language that drives MAPDL. This posting is just going to cover the basics so that you know what the tool can be used for in case you need it in the future, and hopefully motivate some of you to take a long look at the help. There is a lot of capability in this tool. Now it gives you access that you needed custom FORTRAN code to get to in the past… or NASTRAN DMAP, which is really something none of us ever want to do. It kind of snuck in over time, with the developers adding more and more capability each release. And most users don’t even know it is there. It is one of the most powerful, uber-user, deep down under the hood, wrapping your hands around the neck of what FEA is, capabilities in the ANSYS Mechanical APDL (MAPDL) solver.
