Ansys for Students

Ansys Student is our Ansys Workbench-based bundle of Ansys Mechanical, Ansys CFD, Ansys Autodyn, Ansys SpaceClaim and Ansys DesignXplorer. Ansys Student is used by hundreds of thousands of students globally and includes some of our most-used products commercially. Users of this product may also find value in downloading our Ansys LS-DYNA Student product.

Based on our instantaneous simulation technology, Ansys Discovery Student is our next-generation product design software. It has integrated geometry modeling based on Ansys SpaceClaim technology and completely meshless and instantaneous thermal, structural and fluids solvers. Ansys Discovery Student lets you learn about physics without the time investment required to learn to use a complex simulation tool.

Ansys Electronics Desktop Student is our industry gold standard simulators for work with antenna, RF, Microwave, PCB, IC and IC package designs along with electromechanical devices such as electric motors and generators. Students will have access to Ansys HFSS, Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Q3D, and Ansys Icepak allowing design work a broad range of electrical and electro-mechanical systems.

Ansys LS-DYNA Student has a vast array of capabilities using its explicit solver, allowing the simulation of the response of materials to short periods of severe loading and extreme deformation. It can be used by students to examine materials failure and how failure progresses through a part or system. LS-DYNA Student is useful for applications in automotive, aerospace and more.

Ansys SCADE Student is based on our unique qualified code-generation technology. It integrates the model-based design, simulation and code generation of embedded software. It features an adapted version of SCADE Suite used for industrial safety-critical embedded software as aircraft flight controllers or electric vehicle battery management systems.

The Ansys Learning Forum is the go-to support community for academia. Search for answers to common questions, browse discussion categories to see what others are talking about and engage with your peers and Ansys experts.

These free courses extend beyond physics theory and reinforce concepts with high-fidelity Ansys simulations and real-world case studies. Developed for students, the comprehensive educational experience features online lecture videos led by Ansys experts and key academic partners, handouts, homework, tutorials and quizzes.

Ansys’ learning resources are a one-stop shop for all of our free learning resources available, including the Learning Forum, videos with technology tips and introductory student tutorials with step-by-step directions for performing basic simulations.
