Change the way ANSYS workbench appears for version 18.2 - workbench

I have a very specific question regarding ANSYS boot up and use.
I am not very familiar with ANSYS, but I have used the workbench enough before to be familiar with it. So when I went to open the workbench I was surprised to see this.
I am used to something that looks more like this second picture. I am using ANSYS 18.2, and that is the same version on all computers my students will be using in class. However, I don't have any idea how to change it to look like the second and cannot access ANSYS help since I don't manage the license and non of the student lab techs know anything about ANSYS. I can't effectively teach my students ANSYS if workbench GUI looks so different.
Can someone with more experience point me to the right setting or options to do this.

So apparently, this is the answer.
The first screenshot is technically the app called AIM (despite the fact that if you zoom in to the top left it says workbench). I was able to just type in "workbench" in the windows search bar and the correct app popped up.

jQMobi documentation mirror

Just got started and running with jqMobi, which is now called 'intel's application framework' (cheesy name eh)
Along with intel's porting to their new site, they forgot to put the full docs online (at least I can't find it). Now there's only minimal documentation, like the getting started. I'd like to get on with it.
Anyone knows where the (full) docs are hosted? I really hate to go look for another framework again.
The documentation is all there. The only thing they did not add was the "testdrive", which is just the kitchen sink sample found in github
In my opinion the docs are somewhat scattered, but there's some helpful stuff if you can find it. I keep bookmarks for these links. There are some links from those that get you to more stuff.
http://html5dev-software.intel.com/documentation/jqmobiapis/index.html
http://app-framework-software.intel.com/documentation.php?r=9057
http://developer.html5dev-software.intel.com/
http://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/documentation/
Actually they split off where appMobi is a cloud services company to support apps, and Intel took the part to build the apps. So you may still need/want appMobi. Their docs are on their site of course. There is still some duplication on the appMobi site.
Technically I don't think jqMobi is the same thing as the Intel App Framework, but at the same time I have a hard time understanding what's called what anymore. I'm sure they'll clear this up over time. I hope they find names that can be useful tags on stackoverflow.com!

php 4 / mysql jstree example from luban.danse.us - Anyway to port this functionality to the new version of jstree? (v1)

Having tried to use the example for php/mysql at http://jstree.com/demos I have realized that I needed extra functionality and as well noticed that this works only with PHP 5 due to some errors that Firebug was prompting for the output. I then started to look for more documentation on jstree and found in here someone suggesting to review the example on the following page:
http://luban.danse.us/jazzclub/javascripts/jquery/jsTree/reference/_examples/7_full.html
I did find it very close to what I need for a personal project, however the example is fixed for one DB interaction from what I was able to see in the core dependencies (full/script.js). I'm trying to port this example to PHP 5, but at the moment just would like to know if there is a possibility to extend this to use new plugins such as 'checkbox' even-though this is an earlier version.
I've posted this question in the forums to see if there is any possibility to recreate a PHP/mySQL example using the 'contextmenu' and as well the options at the top of the panel, but since this apparently is not supported by what I was able to understand from the documentation, I thought perhaps someone have tried something similar to this?
Thanks in advance,

Creating standalone app with Microsoft Access

Once I saw a DB made in MS Access that worked as a normal program, i.e with an executable file that opened a beautiful UI and allowed access to the forms and reports. I've trying to do the same, I even googled but didn't find how do it. Anyone knows how to build such standalone App with Access?
You cant make an access database into an executable file. It just cant happen however you can fool people into thinking that they are not using access a number of ways, for example
Custom splash screen (just put a bmp
file in the folder and name it the
same as your database)
Hide the access window and toolbars
Change the access icon
For example take a look at this screen shot
There are lots of things going on here and it would be hard to tell that it is built using good old access 97 (Yes I know the standard toolbar kind of gives it away, it will be going at somepoint).
I believe the tool is called the Microsoft Access Runtime toolkit or something along those lines. The latest version is free, a departure from the previous versions which I believe you had to pay for. From the previous version I tinkered with, it comes with a tool to make a EXE file from the MDB or ACCB file, a handful of icons for the EXE to use if you are lacking one, and a program to help you generate Microsoft Help files for your application.
This is a link to the Developer Extensions - I believe the 2007 version of what I described above:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=D96A8358-ECE4-4BEE-A844-F81856DCEB67&displaylang=en
Here is a link for the runtime, which doesn't convert your Access database into an executable file, but would allow it to run on computers without Access installed:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=D9AE78D9-9DC6-4B38-9FA6-2C745A175AED&displaylang=en
NOTE: Both of these are for Access 2007, the version I run. Your version might require something different - but should be easily located on Microsoft's website.
If you want to fool the user in thinking that they are not using access it will take some ingenuity. I have done this. You will need a way to make nice 2D images that you will import into access, and then set them up like buttons, and give them functionality. Make sure you over lay them on a splash screen of some kind. Not sure if you know VBA but it will be needed.
At the end make sure you go in to the setting, and turn off anything that might allow the user to alter the form in any way. And then rename the file's extension like this: fileName.accdr
This is as close to a normal program that you are going to get, and remember it will only look as good as the art you put into it.

Combining Cocoa and MySQL

i was searching SO for help on this, but i can't seem to find a concrete solution.
Is, or isn't it possible to connect to a mysql database with Cocoa?
Because i'm working on a program that i'd like to extend to a database, but i sure as hell don't know how!
I mean, that cocoa-mysql package is heavily outdated, and i dont even know what a C wrapper is!
Can someone please tell me how to do this, or atleast burst my bubble to tell me that it can't be done?
Thanks!
Since Core Data came out, I'm not surprised that other DB-wrapping Cocoa libraries are falling out of date. If you don't need to specifically wrap a MySQL DB, then I'd look at Core Data and its SQLite backend. It's available for both Mac OS and iPhone platforms.

Is there a working Cocoa MySQL Xcode project?

Or has this been abandoned? I can't seem to find a modern sample project. I haven't been able to make any the old code I find work. I just want to write a simple Mac app that accesses an external MySQL database that's also involved in a PHP website.
The old CocoaMySQL project has been abandoned, but the project has been resurrected as Sequel Pro.
It's open source and you can get the source code here.
If you want a straight library that allows you to access MySQL, you might try the commercial MacSQL framework.
You can also just use the MySQL C API directly, however be careful because if you want to use this in a commercial app the licensing fees are high.
You might find it easier to write some PHP code on the server to deliver the results to your client using JSON or some other lightweight data interchange format. PHP has direct support for JSON and there is a great Cocoa framework that makes it easy to parse and generate JSON code.
This method allows you to completely abstract the database connection from your client, so it is relatively trivial to change the database if necessary in future.
Thanks, Rob, I have actually seen the links to Sequel Pro but I was confused when I got there. Part of my problem is that I am really bad at adding things to an Xcode project. Once I have a project in hand with the correct libraries and whatever all linked up, I can make use of the various methods or functions.
That's why I was asking if someone had a super simple project using MySQL that would hopefully compile for me right out of the box. I can then add all my objects and coding.
Can't seem to find anyone out there willing to hold the hand of us project-challenged. The project settings dialog box and codes that go in various boxes therein are very confusing to me.
