In case you may be curious, one of the first layouts looked like this. All of the pages were static, and I used frames (ugh) for the blue menubar on the right. ansys.net first went online in March 3, 2000

The second layout kept evolving, but this is what it finally looked like. There was a mix of static and dynamic pages, as I learned how to hack with PHP and MySQL to make the input files, macros, etc. searchable. This second version retained a lot from the old, but almost everything is dynamic, and I rewrote almost all of the PHP scripts to make them easier to manage.

Now, I use a slightly different layout. I chose four color schemes which automatically change, depending on the time of year. You should be able to adjust font sizes with your browser.
