SimuTech Online Training Course Checklist

Authored by Szymon Buhajczuk March 28th, 2023 3946 views 1 likes KB1048203

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 verify software access is adequately set-up before the class, but SimuTech is here to help!  Please follow the steps below.


Delete

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.

Delete

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.


Checklist


Step 1 - Install Microsoft Teams

Follow These Instructions

All courses are taught via Microsoft Teams. The desktop version should always be used for fully meeting functionality (screen sharing, breakout rooms, etc).  The browser base version should only be used as last resort and does not support breakout rooms).

  1. Download and install Microsoft Teams from the following link well in advance of the meeting:
    1. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app#for-desktop 
  2. Join a Test Meeting to insure everything is working properly:

Step 2 -  Setup Ansys Software

Ensure You Avoid Several Common Mistakes

  1. Do you have the correct product and version installed for the class you are taking?

    2. We strongly recommend using the latest version for the course whenever possible.
  2. Can you open and launch this version from the location where you will be taking the class?
    1. Sometimes people go home for the day of the training course, not realizing they don't have access to licensing causing them to miss class time.
    2. If you need licensing, please follow option C.
  3. Do you have adequate licenses available through your company during the time of the class?
    1. Please consider and plan for any conflicts that may arise between yourself and other users using licenses for production work during the time of the course.
