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 downloaded 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.

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 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.

With Ansys’ recent acquisition of OnScale, students now have access to the fastest and most powerful cloud-native engineering simulation platform. Students can benefit from online simulation capabilities with ten free core hours per month, enabling simulation from any location and device. Ansys OnScale provides a great simulation platform for STEM students, undergraduate engineering students, and engineers who are new to simulation to learn introductory structures concepts, like general boundary conditions, stress analysis, thermal analysis, and much more. Additionally, Ansys OnScale offers easy integration into ONSHAPE® and MATLAB®.

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. This student version 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 (formerly called Ansys Student Community) 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.
