Ask one question — "do I qualify for an evaluation?" — and if the answer is yes you get three things at once: a short-term Ansys evaluation license for the exact tools your problem needs, live engineering support from an assigned application engineer, and free self-paced learning to ramp up. It costs nothing to ask, no obligation either way. Evaluations are Ansys programs, granted through Ansys and its authorized channel partners at their discretion — we make the request easy and set you up properly if it's approved.
The real, full-capability Ansys products — not a size-capped student build — scoped to the physics your project needs, running on your geometry and your data.
An application engineer from an authorized channel partner is assigned to your eval — someone who has solved your class of problem — for setup, meshing, physics, and reading results.
Self-paced Ansys courses matched to your tools, so you learn between sessions and keep the knowledge afterward.
An evaluation is for proving Ansys can do what you need on your real problem. For many founders, that same work is the first virtual prototype — the feasibility evidence that strengthens a Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) & NSIC proposal and the demo that moves investors. There are no strings on what you build; you're encouraged to put it to work on your MVP.
Confirm, with your own model, that Ansys is the right tool — and that you can master it — before committing a dollar.
Produce the stress plots, flow fields, and thermal maps that de-risk the physics and make the pitch. The MVP playbook →
Scope the eval across tools — Fluent + Mechanical for FSI, HFSS + Icepak for RF electrothermal — to test your real multiphysics workflow.
