I have some very exciting news to share with you. Today we announced the immediate availability of the free of charge ANSYS Student product. Yes, you read that correctly! We’ve actually made our student product version available free of charge, globally! It can be, go and check it out! NOTE: Please follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid any complications.

Here’s a high level summary of the ANSYS Student product: ANSYS Student version is an introductory software package for engineering students who are interested in learning the fundamentals of simulation while gaining exposure to our state of the art ANSYS Workbench simulation workflow, pre-processing, post-processing and solver products. The renewable six-month product license is free and can be downloaded and used by students anywhere in the world. It provides access to versions of ANSYS® Mechanical™, ANSYS® CFD™, ANSYS® Autodyn®, ANSYS® Workbench™, ANSYS® DesignModeler™and ANSYS® DesignXplorer™ that are limited only in the size of the problems that can be solved. The product can be installed on any supported MS Windows 64-bit machine (Windows 7, 8, 8.1 – Note that Windows 10 is not yet supported) Although the product is free of charge and has numerical limits, it’s by no means a lightweight or otherwise dumbed down version of our commercial products. Rather, ANSYS Student uses the same solvers, same GUI and is an integral part of our standard product development process, just like our Academic Teaching and Academic Research Products – NO compromises!

ANSYS Student users have access to our world class, state of the art simulation technology. The learning experience with ANSYS Student can be directly transferred directly to our commercial products, enabling students to efficiently enter the engineering workforce of tomorrow. To coincide with the availability of the free student product, we are retiring the ANSYS Student Portal and replacing it with self guided support and educational materials on ansys.com. This will include product installation guides, FAQ’s, introductory tutorial and “how to” videos. To clarify, starting early next week students will no longer be able to login or use the ANSYS Student Portal. Academic Faculty and Staff will continue to use the ANSYS Customer Portal for product downloads and help with Academic Teaching, Research and Associate products. We are also refreshing the Web pages to improve navigation and provide a more modern experience.

The academic web pages, and self-guided support material for students will continue to be enhanced. Hi TanGlad you are excited. If you are familiar with modern cad tools then the ANSYS Workbench UI should be very intuitive and represent a fairly easy learning curve. The examples in our product documentation, and the self guided help materials that we provide on the Student Resources page should get you up and running and familiar with the basics. Take your time, follow the examples carefully and have fun. I wish you all the best. Regarding Python: Yes, you can use Python to build scripts to automate and customize ANSYS Workbench.

The product documentation has a Workbench Scripting Guide to help you with this. There’s also quite a few articles on this topic available on the web. Hi Shambo, That’s normal behavior for MS Internet Explorer as the download will proceed in the background. Try the following: 1. Ensure you are using a supported browser 2. Clear your browser cache 3. Make sure you have popups enabled 4.

Be sure to select “Accept” on the click wrap. After you select the “download” button you should see a “do you want to open or save” messageselect “Save”. You are then returned to download page so that you can download the License Key next.

I hope that resolves your problem. All the best! I installed ANSYS and the license file according to the instructions on the student download page and had the exact same error. Solution to “No servers provided. ANSYSLI_SERVERS: FLEXIm Servers:” for me was to actually install the ANSYS License Manager and set the hostname in the admin client and server utilities. To do so, open the admin client utility (Start menu >ANSYS 16.2 >ANSYS Client Licensing), copy the hostname printed in the Session Log (e.g.

‘User-PC’), click “Specify the License Server Machine”, click “Add a Server Machine Specification”, paste in the hostname, exit the admin client utility. Then open the admin server utility (Start menu >ANSYS Inc., License Manager>Server ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility) and similarly set the hostname. After this, I was able to open the workbench without any errors. Installation has gone ok, but the Mechanical APDL does not appear to work with the student license. Is this correct? The problem is that my ANSYS lecturing has centred around the old GUI for APDL (and scripting) with direct generation, and as this has been constant through the versions, Workbench has been transient through the various versions over the years, hence we havent invested the time to assimilate it. Also my experience is that the students actually prefer the APDL GUI.

Am I correct in this assumption or are ANSYS wanting people to use the Workbench only for the future? If this is the case this will leave me, and I fear many other academics in a sticky position as we may not have the time to invest in learning Workbench with the rest of my workload. We of course have the APDL active with our institution license, but the students would not be able to use this at home on their laptops for their courseworks with the student version. If the APDL could be activated in the student version then it will be happy days:).

I can see is has installed but it just does’t want to play ball so i guess it is just a licensing issue? Many thanks in advance for any help/light you can shed on this.

Best regards Laurence. Hi, Same with Laurence Weekes’ comment above, I managed to download the student version of ANSYS.

I have found that only Workbench can be used, while my professor wants us to utilize Mechanical APDL. Is there some sort of installation error that I may have missed or is the Mechanical APDL portion not accessible to students as of yet? I keep getting this specific message: “The following licensing error was encountered while checking the status of available license servers: Could not connect to any license servers.” I know I followed Part 2 of the installation guide and have successfully copied on the student license file into the environmental variables. I only ask because I want to have a personal copy on my laptop with my coursework instead of having to always go back to campus to do my analysis there when I can simply do it at home. Thanks, Philip.

Hi I installed ansys student yesterday and was able to do a small simulation using static structural. But today when I open workbench again all engineering data was gone, not even the default structural steel. I tried to run ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility View Status/Diagnostic Options Display the license data which read “ Error getting status: No SERVER lines in license file. (-13,66)” I also tried Tool Complete unfinished client licensing installation configuration and added my host name to hostname1 but the problem persisted. Winstar Serial here. Download The Leadership Of Muhammad Pdf Creator. When I run the Tool again the messages seem ok but the problem persisted. What shall I do? Hi Paul, I downloaded the student ansys software on my laptop.

Following all the steps in the instruction. The Mechanical APL tool looks to be working however workbench has no tools in the toolbox area. I did a diagnosis via the client utility and was given this error: lmutil – Copyright (c) 1989-2014 Flexera Software LLC.

All Rights Reserved. Flexible License Manager status on Tue 18:08 [Detecting lmgrd processes] Error getting status: No SERVER lines in license file. (-13,66) i assume this is because the license manager has been wrongly been installed. However when I followed your steps I did not find the ansysli_server. There was no file about license manager at all. What could be the solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi Paul, I’m having the same problem as a few others here- “No servers provided. ANSYSLI_SERVERS: FLEXIm Servers:” On my first install I made the mistake of not skipping the”Enter License Server Specification” instead entering my computer hostname, and also installed the LM (doh!). I uninstalled Ansys and deleted all related files. The next time I installed I followed the guide exactly but am still having this problem. I have tried doing the things you mentioned previously but am still having this error.

Is there a chance that there are still files from the first install that are causing this problem? I realise you have answered this question a few times already but is there anything else you could suggest? I really need to get the License Manager step removed! Sorry everyone!

You absolutely need to uninstall every trace of the ANSYS License Manager and this is more involved than uninstalling the ANSYS Student product (as discussed above. I’ll repeat it here, so that you don’t need to scroll all the way up.

All commands must be run in an administrator command prompt window. Go to the Windows start menu, type cmd and then right-click on the cmd.exe and select “Run as administrator.” 2. Stop the ANSYS, Inc.

License Manager from the ANSYS License Management Center.Click on “View Status/Start/Stop License Manager” and click “STOP” 3. Uninstall the ANSYS, Inc. License Manager service. You must use the following command:  “C: Program Files ANSYS Inc Shared Files Licensing winx64 ansysli_server” –k uninstall 4. Uninstall the ANSYS Licensing Tomcat service. Use the following commands:  sc stop “ANSYSLicensingTomcat”  sc delete “ANSYSLicensingTomcat” 5. Remove the ANSYS, Inc.

License Manager folder from the Start menu. Remove the ANSYSLIC_DIR and the ANSYSLIC_SYSDIR environment variables, if set. Install the free product again following our instructions carefully. Apologies if the blog formatting makes the above instructions difficult to read! Hey Paul I was having the same problems as many have mentioned above, i.e. The mechanical APDL was not working and on opening Workbench I was getting the Flexlm error.

Also none on the tools in Workbench would show up. I had followed the exact steps as the Instructions given on the site. I also tried the steps you had mentioned above but they did not work as there was no License Manager installed. However, I was able to solve the problems and I thought I should share the knowledge here.

The instructions suggest extracting the student license file in the Licensing winx64 folder. I found that extracting to the Ansys Inc folder directly and then changing the variable value for ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE to C: Program Files Ansys Inc ansys_student_20160131.lic solves all the three problems. Anyone having any issues should try and see if this helps them. Thanks very much for sharing your solution to the problem. We actually recommend putting the license file in C: Program Files ANSYS Inc Shared Files Licensing. The issue is that in Step 3 of our instructions we aren’t matching this recommended file path!

Step 3 should state: C: Program Files ANSYS Inc Shared Files Licensing ansys_student_20160131.lic I’ll get this error fixed ASAP! In other words the setting of the environment variable should exactly match the path and filename of the license file.

By DE Editors has released ANSYS Academic Student, a new simulation solution derived from the company’s teaching software. The software offers similar capabilities as the commercial solution for $25 for a one-year license. Eligible U.S.

Students can download the ANSYS solution used in their classroom on their personal computer. The simulation functionality built into Academic Student provides access to the same solvers and user environment in ANSYS’ industry products. Students with multicore processors on their personal computers (up to a quad-core processor) can also benefit from the software’s ability to run the solvers in parallel, allowing for more advanced simulations, the company says.

Mechanical and aerospace engineering students at Cornell University were among those selected to test ANSYS Academic Student on a trial basis prior to this launch. Rajesh Bhaskaran, Swanson Director of Engineering Simulation at Cornell, integrates simulation technology into courses across the Cornell Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Program. “Not only is this powerful solution easy for the students to access both financially and physically, it’s also valuable to our curriculum. It allows our students to apply the technology across several of their engineering courses to complete homework assignments and projects, which ultimately gives them a deeper understanding of the solution’s capabilities,” Bhaskaran said. ANSYS Academic Student is sold and distributed online via the ANSYS Student Portal, which provides access to numerous learning tools, tutorials and training. For more information, visit.
