Ansys
Ansys Simulation Software, founded in 1970, is the original and gold standard simulation provider.
Ansys simulation gives engineers the ability to explore and predict how products will work — or won’t work — in the real world.
Imperial has a university-wide licence - the fully licensed teaching version of Ansys is available on the Software Hub.
To find out more about the research version of the software, please contact the Software Procurement team by raising a ticket on ASK.
If you have any other questions about the software, please contact the ICT Service Desk.
