Installation of Ansys
There is no Mac OS X version of Ansys.
Installation for Windows PC Instructions
- Download
- Ansys 2020R2 - with Electronics for Windows
- Ansys 2019R1 - with Electronics for Windows
- Ansys 2019R1 - with Electronics for Linux
- Ansys 19.2 - Windows
- Ansys 19.2 - Linux
Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the “Ansys” package.
Right click the Ansys package you downloaded and select “Extract Here.” You will need 7zip or a similar extraction utility installed to do this. Once extracted, the folder will be in the same directory.
Enter the extracted Ansys folder
Right-click 'setup.bat' which is located inside the folder you extracted and select 'Run as administrator.' A dialog box will appear for a moment and the install will continue in the background. The install should take about an hour depending on your system.
(NOTE: If you run into a problem with the setup.bat file, please check the bullet points below or send us an email.)
Note: You can visually check if the installation process finished in the task manger (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
To run Ansys, make sure you are connected to a UCR network, campus VPN or the engineering VPN.
If you are using the optional 'Discovery Live' Under your Start Menu launch an item under ANSYS Folder labeled 'Discovery Licensing Mode Manager'.
Choose the 'Floating' mode and enter the server name: 'ansys.engr.ucr.edu'.Please note that the characters will not echo to the screen when you are typing your password.
ANSYS Installation Guide for Mac OSX As with many engineering softwares, ANSYS is not available for the Mac OSX platform. However, it is still possible to install ANSYS and your other engineering softwares on an Apple computer by first installing Windows on your Mac. Please follow this guide to learn how to install Windows and ANSYS on your Mac. ANSYS AIM is the first integrated and comprehensive multiphysics simulation environment designed for all engineers. It is the further realization of the ANSYS Workbench strategy to revolutionize engineering processes through Simulation Driven Product Development. ANSYS ANSYS® and NVIDIA® work collaboratively to ensure the fastest performance for simulations running on ANSYS parallel software. Available since ANSYS 15.0 release, NVIDIA GPU acceleration enables faster results for more efficient computation and job turnaround times, delivering more license utilization for the same investment. ANSYS AIM is a simulation package that offers single and multiphysics solutions for thermal, modal, structural, fluid, and electrical analyses. ANSYS AIM uses finite-element and related methods to solve the underlying governing equations and the associated problem-specific boundary conditions.
Troubleshooting / Independent installation.
Ansys Aim Download For Mac Pro
- Run the setup.exe file in place of the setup.bat file. Setup.exe is located in the DVD1 folder inside of the Ansys folder.
- When prompted to choose a path to software, such as CAD, either choose the path to the software on your computer or choose the Read Only / Don't Install option.
- When the Installer asks for a license, leave all the boxes as default but change the name of the license server to 'ansys.engr.ucr.edu'
- Proceed with the installation until Ansys has been installed.
