  Hello,
  
  I would like to ask you how can I pick a 2-D model to run a structural transient dynamic finite element analysis.
  
  Should I do this through Design Modeller, or by using the Ansys Mechanical where we set up and solve a study?
  
  Thank you.
  
  Regards,

  Hi You can create suface body in Design modeler and assign thickness.
  Then position the section at top/mid/bottom in mechanical window.

  Create the surface body/bodies in Design Modeler - thickness is not needed. In Workbench choose View -> Properties. Select the Geometry cell of the transient analysis system and look at the Properties (right side of WB now). Change the Analysis Type to 2D (that is a drop down list). Then open the Model.
  
  In WB Mechanical select the Geometry - in the Details section there will be an option to change the geometry to plane strain, plane stress, axisymmetric etc.
