ANSYS
ANSYS is a general purpose finite element modeling package for solving a wide variety of mechanical problems, including static/dynamic structural analysis (both linear and non-linear), heat transfer and fluid problems, as well as acoustic and electromagnetic problems.
ANSYS Multiphysics couples structural, thermal, CFD, acoustic and electromagnetic simulation capabilities and is installed on Bridges.
Fluent is part of the ANSYS package and is accessed through the ansys module as given below.
Access
Access to ANSYS is restricted.
Corporate users must negotiate licensing with ANSYS, Inc. and arrange for an allocation with PSC. Contact the PSC Corporate Relations office at 412-268-4960 to discuss an allocation of time.
Academic users must
