Description
The process of learning Ansys has a strong hands-on component. To successfully complete the course and adequately get familiarized with its interface, features and workflows, students will require access to the web conferencing system Microsoft Teams and to the relevant Ansys software (We strongly recommend running the latest Ansys version whenever possible). It is the students’ responsibility to ensure software access is adequately set-up, but SimuTech is here to help! Please follow the steps below.
Complete This Process ASAP
Please start this process as soon as possible and don't wait till the last minute. This allows time to troubleshoot any software/licensing problems and helps ensures valuable class time is not interrupted and spent troubleshooting these problems during the course.
Warning - Involve your IT Department Early
If you require administrative privileges to install applications, please involve your IT early in the process. This allows time to troubleshoot any problems and helps ensure valuable class time is not interrupted and spent troubleshooting software/licensing problems the day of.
