DesignSight Simulation Methods

The DesignSight workbench consists of multiple products. Each product provides access to one or more simulation methods. When you create a DesignSight simulation and specify a simulation method, you can select only those methods associated with the products that are licensed at your site.

The table below lists all of the available DesignSight products and the simulation methods they provide. Documentation is available for each of the methods in the form of focused simulation Method Guides.
