How do I get Granta EduPack? <\/h2>\n

If your course uses Granta EduPack, please contact your course leader or IT department to get a copy. Please note that we can only deal directly with university faculty (e.g., lecturers, professors, heads of department, or their support staff) to discuss Granta EduPack and options for its use. This limitation enables Granta to provide effective support and service to hundreds of institutions worldwide.<\/p>\n

Do I need an Ansys Customer Portal or Granta Education Hub account to install Granta EduPack? <\/h2>\n

No – your installation package contains all the files you need, so that you don’t need a username and password. An account is only needed to download or create an installation package, which your course leader or IT administrator will do for you.<\/p>\n

If the installer is prompting you to log in, or asking for license server information and you don’t have any, contact your course leader or IT administrator. They will need to provide either a new installation package, or the license server information.<\/p>\n

How do I install Granta EduPack?<\/h2>\n

These instructions are for the flex-enabled version of the software. If you are an existing customer with a Classic license, see How do I install Granta EduPack Classic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To install Granta EduPack<\/em> or Granta EduPack Introductory<\/em>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set up license server<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All users will need your institution’s Ansys FlexNet license server name and port number.<\/p>\n

    If your institution currently uses Ansys products, they will already have an Ansys FlexNet license server. However, it must have an up-to-date version of Ansys License Manager<\/em><\/strong> to support Granta EduPack.<\/p>\n

    If your institution does not have an Ansys FlexNet server yet, we recommend starting with the Installation and Licensing Help<\/a> pages and Licensing Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Download the installer<\/strong> <\/li>\n
    2. Sign in to the Ansys Customer Portal<\/a>, and go to Downloads<\/strong> > Current release<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    3. Expand the Primary Packages<\/strong> header and click the Granta EduPack <\/strong>button.<\/li>\n
    4. Save the .zip<\/em> file when prompted. This can be distributed to students with the license server name and port number.<\/li>\n
    5. Install the software<\/strong> <\/li>\n
    6. Extract the files from the .zip<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    7. Double-click the installer edupack(_introductory)_setup.YYYY_RX.exe<\/em> to run it. You will need to be connected to the Internet and your institution’s network.<\/li>\n
    8. Enter the name and port number for your license server.<\/li>\n
    9. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      To uninstall Granta EduPack<\/em> or Granta EduPack Introductory<\/em>, use Programs and Features in the Control Panel.<\/p>\n

      To use Granta EduPack with Ansys Workbench, you must have the full version of EduPack (not Introductory), and Ansys Workbench 2021 R1 or later. Installing the Ansys Workbench add-in is the same for both Classic and Flex-enabled versions of Granta EduPack.<\/p>\n
