If you are already curious, then just download the installer here, install and enjoy. With the tab you can move to the next argument. Then the command and its arguments are inserted automatically. Use the up/down arrows and return to select the desired command. AutoComplete with command help: When typing the first letter of an APDL command all possible commands and a short description are displayed in a small tooltip. When I select a range of text and then type a left brace, the selected text is placed between two parentheses. Auto brace: When typing a left parenthesis, the right parenthesis is automatically inserted and the cursor moves one position back, so you can immediately write between the brackets. it takes over a change in the left or the right document respectivelly. With the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+, or Ctrl+Alt+. Use the key combination Ctrl+Alt+PageDown or Ctrl+Alt+PageUp to navigate from one difference to the next. Then the two documents open in a new window next to each other and the differences will be highlighted clearly. Sublimerge then asks for the document to compare. The comparison of two open documents can be started by pressing Ctrl+Alt+D. Compare documents: This is so far no standard function in SublimeText but a plugin (Sublimerge) that can be simply copied into the correct directory and the compare function already works. Find and Replace: Search and replace in all open documents of whole paragraphs really works, not as in many other text editors. This is one good reason you should take a look at the SublimeText. Multiple cursors: Simultaneous editing in different places in the text is a real highlight in SublimeText. When re-opening the editor your documents are back in the last unsaved state. Crash proof: You can close (intentional or unintentional) the SublimeText editor, even if you have unsaved documents. I don't want to make a detailed product description but only to list some of the features I love about the SublimeText editor: SublimeText however is a general text editor with syntax highlighting not only for APDL but for many other programming and markup languages (C ++, Java, HTML, Tcl, Python etc.).
The PeDAL text editor has even been 100% developed for APDL.
There are certainly other good text editors for ANSYS APDL. SublimeText is without doubt a text editor in which you can fall in love immediately. For over a year I use the SublimeText editor to program my APDL macros for Ansys.
