We hope that our web site provides a great deal of valuable technical information, which is available to anyone who visits our web site. The technical materials on this page, however, are intended only for DRD's customers, and are, therefore, password protected. We provide these materials to our customers as a benefit for doing business with DRD, and at our discretion we provide them to selected DRD friends and associates.

The topics on this page are intended for engineers who are interested in highly technical and detailed information on ANSYS. These topics contain information, which is not readily available to ANSYS users through standard documentation and training courses. For example, some topics provide information on ANSYS capabilities that are under development or are not documented.
