Free student software — a key component of the program — recently surpassed more than one million downloads since its launch in late 2015, empowering students to develop skillsets they need to compete in the job market, stay ahead of the latest technology trends and make an immediate impact after graduation.

As digital transformation reshapes engineering, companies are relying more heavily on advanced simulation solutions to overcome unprecedented design challenges and recruiting engineers who are proficient in simulation tools. To close this skills gap and help companies innovate faster, ANSYS is engaging with students at every level, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Professors and researchers from more than 3,200 universities in 87 countries leverage ANSYS software, bringing simulation into the classroom for a hands-on learning experience. The ANSYS Academic Program empowers students through free student software, the sponsorship of more than 500 student teams and the ANSYS Student Community, which allows users to ask and answer questions, access tutorials and discuss engineering challenges...

ANSYS also supports continued education for engineers at any stage of their career through free Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by universities. One of Cornell University's simulation-focused MOOCs has generated 142,000 registrations across 173 countries since its inception. Registrants range from students just becoming familiar with simulation to established engineers expanding their understanding of ANSYS solutions.
