<strong>Workbench</strong> Databases<br />
Training Manual<br />
• There are various types of files used by <strong>Workbench</strong>, each differentiated by the file<br />
extension:<br />
– .wbdb: <strong>Workbench</strong> Project database, which keeps track of all of the different types of <strong>Workbench</strong><br />
databases in a “Project”<br />
– .agdb: DesignModeler database, containing geometry data for use with Simulation or CFX-Mesh<br />
– .cmdb: Meshing database, containing the mesh settings and mesh information<br />
– .dxdb: DesignXplorer/DesignXplorer VT database, which investigate relationships between input<br />
and output parameters<br />

– .dsdb: Simulation database, which has all the information necessary to perform a structural or<br />
thermal analysis in Simulation<br />
– .fedb: FE Modeler database, which has mesh information from a Nastran or Simulation model,<br />
used to convert to <strong>ANSYS</strong><br />
– .eddb: Engineering Data database file. Containing all material, convection, load history and other<br />
pertinent project information. This file is saved automatically whenever .wbdb file is saved.<br />
(Simulation and DX databases utilize engineering data)<br />
