Ansys

Status
Yes

UCSB currently has a site license for Ansys software.

You can download it directly from Ansys, or locally  (with your UcsbNetID ) at this link

The program is primarily used on workstations, but there are cases where running it on the cluster (on a single node) are useful. 

A sample job file is here

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4

module load ansys/252
inputfile=Project1.aedt
time  ansysedt -ng -batchsolve -UseElectronicsPPE  -machinelist numcores=$SLURM_NPROCS   -auto  $inputfile

Some excellent introduction information (from 2020, so now somewhat dated, consisting of video, slides, examples)  is here (public, no signin required)

Additional, and up to date, introductory information is available directly from Ansys at
