PITTSBURGH, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As engineering
students across the globe return to the classroom, more and more of
them will learn to harness the power of ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS)
simulation software – the same tools that they'll be expected to
use in their future careers. A growing number of schools –
including the University of Bath, the Technical University of Hamburg, Georgia Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology, the University of
Tulsa, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Iowa State
University, National Institute of Technology Rourkela and
North Carolina State University – are
offering all of their engineering students access to ANSYS
technology through a campus-wide solution.
With campus-wide solutions, access to ANSYS® software
is centrally procured at a university. It replaces individual
department licenses with a broad, multi-user one, so most
universities are able to increase license capacity and access to
all necessary physics, while leveraging the cost advantages of a
volume purchase. The arrangement creates an ideal academic
environment for broader adoption of engineering simulation — one in
which software is scaled for easy, cost-effective application by a
wide range of users, across multiple faculties, students and
researchers.
"Investing in the ANSYS campus license has provided our students
and researchers additional functionality and improved availability
that will further enhance the ANSYS experience for our engineering
community," said Jyoti Patel and
Steven Chapman at the University of
Bath. "In particular, the enhanced HPC license package will enable
our researchers to compute more-complex and more-realistic systems.
Such advancements put our engineering community in a unique
position."
ANSYS campus-wide licensing is multidisciplinary, reflecting the
real-world nature of engineering problems. It contains fluids,
structures and electronics suites that extend into research areas
such as electric machine design, high-frequency electronics design
and device power management.
"Having multiphysics capability will allow us to explore
interdisciplinary problems, such as those involving both
electromagnetics and heat transfer," said Daniel D. Stancil, Alcoa Distinguished Professor
and head, department of electrical and computer engineering at
North Carolina State University. "The generous provision of
teaching licenses opens up possibilities for new course
development, and several of our faculty already make extensive use
of the solvers in their research."
"Worldwide, engineering simulation has become a major component
of research and education," said Sunil
Kumar Sarangi, director, National Institute of Technology
Rourkela. "ANSYS multiphysics software enables high-end simulation
of real systems and trains would-be professionals in the art. As a
leading institute of higher learning in India, NIT Rourkela has deployed ANSYS
campus-wide license with a visible impact on the quality of
education and research."
The earlier that entry-level engineers can play active roles in
simulation-driven product development, the greater their value to
an engineering organization.
"On campus, ANSYS solutions give students great opportunity to
learn skills that future employers require, improving placements,"
said Murali Kadiramangalam, director of the academic program at
ANSYS. "At the world's leading engineering schools, our campus-wide
multiphysics solutions have proven their value not only in
delivering the highest-quality, most relevant education to students
— but also in supporting the kind of outstanding research that
attracts funding, while helping to tighten university-industry
collaboration."
