Can I use Granta EduPack for research publications?

No. Selection charts and record data from Granta EduPack, and online teaching resources may be reproduced to use with students for educational purposes only, provided that Ansys, Inc. is referenced as the source and the copyright holder. For research publications, it is mandatory to use Granta Selector instead of Granta EduPack.  In the event that charts are created during educational uses which are found to be worthy of publication (e.g. an undergraduate student research project), Ansys may be able to grant permission on a case by case basis if contacted directly, however this permission should not be assumed.

I would like to use the data and charts in publications. What is your copyright policy?

Academic users* of Ansys software may make fair use of screenshots from our products in their published work. This includes but is not limited to capstone project reports, conference posters, thesis, research papers, textbooks, educational guides, video demonstrations, webpages, social media channel postings. You must include the following acknowledgement on all materials containing Ansys product screenshots: "Images used courtesy of ANSYS, Inc."

We also encourage our academic student teams to print, etch or otherwise imprint the Ansys logo on their work, device, machine, robot, vehicle or similar as long as our logo is used without modification and appears as a positive endorsement of Ansys and Ansys software.

Note that aligned with our academic terms of use, you may not use an Ansys product screenshot, product name or the Ansys company logo for any work deemed a competitive evaluation or benchmarking against other vendor's commercial products.

* An academic user is defined as anyone using an Ansys Academic product license. This includes students and faculty (academic staff — professors, lecturers, instructors and research assistants).

How to cite Ansys Granta products in my research papers?

Because the Ansys portfolio contains a wide range of products, simply stating that you used “Ansys” software does not help readers to accurately identify the product(s) and capabilities needed to better understand your work.

Product references should be accompanied by the release version. Refer to your product license form for the correct product name.

• Example product reference: Ansys® Academic Research Mechanical, Release 18.1
• Please include the product name in the paper/presentation abstract and add the product documentation as a reference whenever possible.

Documentation references should be accompanied by the relevant product name, release version, document book, chapter and page. Note that manuals, online help and other documentation accompanying the software are protected by copyright law and subject to nondisclosure provisions in your software license agreement. If you paraphrase or summarize documentation text in your own words, then you must cite the source of this information.

• Example documentation citation: Ansys® Academic Research Mechanical, Release 18.1, Help System, Coupled Field Analysis Guide, ANSYS, Inc.
• General documentation citation: Ansys® [product name], release number, help system, [book and chapter reference name/numbers], ANSYS, Inc. Private communications (such as technical support responses) from Ansys should not be cited.

Granta EduPack is really useful! Can I continue using it after university?

No. Granta EduPack is specifically designed for education. However, Granta Selector or Granta MI may be of interest in the future if you go on to do research or work in industry. You can read more about how Granta can support you throughout your career here.
