Hello,

On the website https://www.ansys.com/academic/free-student-products Students can download Ansys products. There are 2 packages they can download:

Ansys Discovery Student

Ansys Student

I got a question from a school asking if it is possible to only download the ansys SpaceClaim modeller instead of the whole package, because students are complaining that they cannot install it because of the harddisk space Ansys Discovery Student and Ansys Student needs.

 

I just wanted to know if it is possible to create a package with only the modeller for the students.

Hello Paesc

Let me check with the product team and get back to you.

Hello Paesc

I got the following feedback from Academic team. They said that their intention is to make sure students use our core and latest simulation technology by solving the problem from start to end. Students should view SpaceClaim as an integrated geometry tool to solve the problem instead of using it as a standalone tool.

So I think the Ansys Discovery Student package which should consume less memory as compared to Ansys Student, would be a better option.

Another option would be to install Discovery AIM and use its modelling session which resembles SpaceClaim.
