ANSYS is a universal program suite for simulation of components and systems across the entire product lifecycle. Among other things, the suite includes three physics simulators – for structural engineering, fluid mechanics and electromagnetism – and their interaction.

ANSYS is available to RTU structural units free of charge and may be used for non-commercial research and study purposes at classrooms. For time-consuming ANSYS simulations, RTU HPC cluster may be used.

License term: perpetual.

Manufacturer’s support: until 24.03.2024.

User groups: employees, doctoral students and classrooms.

Please contact hpc@rtu.lv for any questions regarding ANSYS licenses or installation.

For ANSYS application and use you can contact RTU researcher Pavel Akishin: pavels.akisins@rtu.lv
