Autoconstraints
Turn on Autoconstraints by following the instructions at this link. In some versions such as ANSYS 15.0, this feature is turned off by default. If Autoconstraints is not turned on, vertices and lines in your sketches will not be coincident with the coordinate axes. This can cause problems in your solution later on in which case you have to start from scratch which is never fun.

Launch Design Modeler
In the geometry step, we specify the domain for our boundary value problem which is a rectangle. We'll do this in DesignModeler, the geometry engine in ANSYS Workbench. DesignModeler lets you create a geometry from scratch or import it from a CAD package. We'll do the former for our simple geometry. In order to start DesignModeler (Double Click) Geometry , . Twiddle your thumbs for a bit. After DesignModeler opens, select meter as the desired length unit.
Proper Orientation
The sketching will be done in the XY plane, so (Click) XY Plane , , then click on the face plane button, .
