Supported apps\r

\r

• abaqus\r
• ansys\r
• ansa\r
• hyperworks\r \r

What this skill can do\r

\r

• launch a CAE app\r
• open a file in a CAE app\r
• check whether a CAE app is running\r
• close a CAE app\r
• get the current active CAE app\r
• get all running supported CAE apps\r
• detect an executable path using saved paths and predefined common install paths\r
• save a user-provided executable path\r \r

Constraints\r

\r

• Do not scan the whole computer.\r
• Do not traverse all files on disk.\r
• Do not read the Windows registry.\r
• Only use:\r
  1. saved paths in config.json\r
  2. predefined common install paths in config.json\r
• If the executable cannot be found, ask the user to provide the full executable path.\r \r

# Note\r
\r
This skill is designed for **local CAE workstation automation**.\r
\r
It intentionally avoids heavy filesystem scanning to maintain fast response and predictable behavior.
