The Ansys license agreement at RWTH has been renewed for another year. The license year runs from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027.
The “Ansys Academic Research Multiphysics Campus Solution” package was previously expanded to include products like LS-DYNA, OptiSlang, Rocky, and TwinBuilder. To improve visibility and comparability, we have restructured the offerings in the software shop.
What is New?
- Better overview: Article descriptions now detail the included products.
- Ansys Electronics Suite: Ansys EM and Ansys HF are combined into the “Ansys Electronics Suite”.
- Mechanical and CFD: “Ansys Mechanical and CFD” now includes Ansys LS-DYNA. LSTC LS-DYNA must still be purchased separately.
- Flexible HPC licenses: HPC packages are now available in sizes from 32 to 1,024 licenses. Larger packages lower the unit price.
- New articles: Semiconductor and TwinBuilder are available as separate items.
- Campus Solution: The “Ansys Academic Research Multiphysics Campus Solution” bundles all licenses except Ansys Lumerical and LSTC LS-DYNA. This package is often cheaper than individual combinations.
- Price changes: Most prices have been reduced. Exceptions with a price increase: “Ansys Electronics Suite”, “Ansys Lumerical”, and “LSTC LS-DYNA”.
Licenses for the current year are now available for purchase in our Software Shop.
