Using with-current-buffer, this becomes:
(with-current-buffer "*Ansys*" (goto-char (point-max)))

Add:
(walk-windows (lambda (w)
(when (string= (buffer-name (window-buffer w)) "*Ansys*")
(with-selected-window w (goto-char (point-max))))))
to move the point permanently also if the buffer's window is visible
and not selected.
All the best,
