Ansys Electronics Desktop Student  - Free Software Download

Ansys Electronics Desktop Student offers free access to the industry gold-standard Ansys simulators for work with antenna, RF, microwave, PCB, IC and IC package designs, along with electromechanical devices such as electric motors and generators. Students will have access to Ansys HFSS, Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Q3D, Ansys Icepak, Ansys Twin Builder, and Ansys Circuit, allowing design work on a broad range of electrical and electromechanical systems. Ansys HFSS is a multipurpose, full-wave 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software. Ansys Maxwell is a 3D electromagnetic simulation solver for electric machines and electromechanical devices. Ansys Q3D Extractor calculates the parasitic parameters of resistance, inductance, capacitance and conductance (RLCG) for electronics designs. Ansys Icepak is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for electronics thermal management. Ansys Twin Builder is a software platform for creating virtual models that mimic the behavior of physical assets or systems, enabling predictive maintenance and optimization.
