Free Software Download
Ansys Electronics Desktop Student offers free access to the industry gold-standard simulators for projects with antenna, RF, microwave, PCB, IC and IC package designs, as well as electromechanical devices including electric motors and generators.
Remote Computing Infrastructure
Students will have access to Ansys HFSS, Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Q3D, and Ansys Icepak, allowing design work on a wide range of electrical and electromechanical systems. Ansys HFSS is a multipurpose, full-wave 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software.
- Ansys Maxwell is a 3D electromagnetic simulation solver for electric machines and electromechanical devices.
- Ansys Q3D Extractor calculates the parasitic parameters of resistance, inductance, capacitance and conductance (RLCG) for electronics designs.
- Ansys Icepak is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for electronics thermal management.
Ansys HPC (High-Performance Computing):
Supports up to four cores for HPC solutions.
