## About Ansys ACT
ACT uses easy-to-learn yet powerful XML and IronPython programming languages that enable even non-expert users to create custom apps for their advanced workflows, in days instead of the weeks or months usually required. Unlike typical software programming, you do not require any commercial Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for ACT. Instead, ANSYS provides an easy and intuitive development environment with complete documentation, templates and predefined applications to guide you through the process

**What do you like best about Ansys ACT?**

I used the Ansys Offshore module and Wind Application for my simulation; It is easy to use, instead of doing it in the Classic macro method.

**What do you dislike about Ansys ACT?**

Some of the Applications are very much expensive.

**What problems is Ansys ACT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is easy to use instead of using the Classic macro method. 
In the Classic method, I have to write a long macro for defining and applying wave and Current loads for Offshore structure simulations.
