Ansys Academic | For Educators & Researchers
Graduates arrive at their first job having learned simulation on a tool nobody in industry uses. Research stalls when a model outgrows the licence halfway through a thesis. A department signs an industry partnership and nobody is sure the licence covers it. Ansys academic licensing solves all three — the same solvers industry runs, priced for universities.
Ansys Academic for Educators
Teach on the software your graduates will actually use. Academic Teaching bundles put industry-standard simulation into lectures and labs, so the course is easier to recruit into and its graduates are easier to place.
| What you need | How Ansys Academic Teaching delivers |
|---|---|
| Hands-on labs for a full cohort | Seat packs of 5, 25 or 50, with 4 parallel cores built into every seat |
| Coursework across disciplines | Structures, fluids, thermal, electronics, optics, photonics, materials, systems and missions |
| Graduates employers want | The same solvers used across industry |
| No artificial limits in class | Problem size is not capped, so coursework can use real models |
Ansys Academic for Researchers
Publish on the solver industry trusts, with nothing held back. Academic Research carries the full capability of the commercial product and far more parallel headroom than a teaching seat.
| Licence | Built for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Academic Research | Faculty, postgraduate and doctoral research | Full solver capability, 4 built-in cores per seat plus 12 floating HPC cores per research task (15 for LS-DYNA) |
| Academic Associate | Research with external industry teams | The same products as Research, for non-proprietary work alongside industry partners |
| Academic Research HPC | Large models on university clusters | Scale past the built-in cores with Ansys HPC, Rocky HPC, LS-DYNA HPC and OPTIS HPC |
Ansys Academic Structures & Fluids for Teaching & Research
The broadest Ansys academic range, split into three bundles so you license only the physics you teach or research.
| Bundle | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Mechanical & CFD | Everything in both bundles below, in one licence |
| Mechanical | Mechanical Enterprise, LS-DYNA, Forming Pro, Additive Suite, Motion Enterprise, Sound Pro, Sherlock |
| CFD | CFD Enterprise, CFD AI+, FreeFlow, EnSight Enterprise, BladeModeler, Rocky, Icepak |
All three include Discovery Enterprise, SimAI Pro, Simpleware Premium, GRANTA Materials Data for Simulation, optiSLang and the major CAD geometry interfaces.
Ansys Academic Thermal Systems for Teaching & Research
Ansys Thermal Desktop for thermal system modelling, with 12 parallel cores built into every task — three times the standard allowance.
Ansys Academic Electronics for Teaching & Research
Three bundles covering circuits and systems, high-frequency design and electric machines.
| Bundle | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Electronics Suite | Electronics Enterprise, Saber, AVxcelerate, EMC Plus, Charge Plus, Motor-CAD Enterprise, Twin Builder |
| High Frequency (HF) | HFSS, SIwave, Q3D Extractor, Icepak, AVxcelerate, EMC Plus, Charge Plus |
| Electric Machines (EM) | Maxwell, Q3D Extractor, Icepak, Motor-CAD Enterprise, Twin Builder, TwinAI |
All three include Discovery Enterprise, Sherlock, GRANTA materials data, medini analyze, ModelCenter and optiSLang.
Ansys Academic Optics for Teaching & Research
Optical design and light simulation with Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Enterprise, Speos Enterprise and Speos for Creo Parametric, plus OPTIS HPC on research licences.
Ansys Academic Photonics for Teaching & Research
The Lumerical bundle covers FDTD, MODE, Multiphysics, INTERCONNECT and CML Compiler for teaching and research. Research groups that only need FDTD can license Lumerical FDTD or Lumerical Accelerator as standalone research bundles.
Ansys Academic Systems for Teaching & Research
The SCADE bundle brings model-based systems engineering and embedded software into the lab: SCADE One, SCADE Suite, Display and Architect with code generation, SCADE Test, TPT, medini analyze, ModelCenter, Digital Twin and TwinAI.
Ansys Academic Materials for Teaching & Research
Ansys GRANTA materials intelligence, in two tracks:
| Track | Products |
|---|---|
| Research | GRANTA Selector, plus Advanced Materials databases for Aero, Metals, Polymers, Composites, Additive Manufacturing, Medical, Eco and ESDU |
| Teaching | GRANTA EduPack and EduPack Introductory |
Ansys Academic Missions for Teaching & Research
Ansys STK Enterprise for mission and space systems analysis, with ModelCenter Premium and MBSE connectors to tie it into wider systems models.
Ansys Academic Connect for Teaching & Research
Ansys System Architecture Modeler for collaborative systems architecture. It is server-based with named users, so plan seats around people rather than lab machines.
Ansys Academic Toolbox for Teaching & Research
Preprocessing add-ons that bring CAD straight into simulation — geometry interfaces for Parasolid and SAT, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk and NX, CATIA V5 and V6, Creo Parametric and Elements Direct Modeling, and JT. They work alongside either a teaching or a research bundle.
Ansys Academic Multiphysics Campus Solution for Teaching & Research
Nearly every Ansys product, for both teaching and research, on one agreement — with extra HPC for Ansys, Rocky, LS-DYNA and OPTIS. Each level is named by its seat count: at (25/250), every product carries 25 research seats and 250 teaching seats. For most faculties it works out more cost-effective than buying bundles one discipline at a time.

Pick the right tier the first time
Academic licences carry clear rules on how they can be used. Run a thesis on a Teaching licence, or a sponsored project on the wrong tier, and the work can fall outside your terms. We match the licence to how your department actually teaches and researches before anything is ordered.

Academic pricing sits well below commercial, and a Campus Solution brings the cost per seat down further as you scale. Tell us your institution, the physics you teach or research, and how many seats you need. We will recommend the right bundle and put together the best configuration for your budget — across Malaysia, Singapore and Southeast Asia.
