===== Desktop GUI =====

The full ANSYS Workbench GUI can be started from a Linux X11 Desktop session running from [[:advanced:interactive|Open OnDemand]]. This offers both a CPU and GPU-accelerated node choice.

This allows users who want or need a very powerful workstation interface to Workbench to book out a session on the HPC to do interactive work or pre/post-process projects which will be run distributed across the wider HPC facility.

This interface works exactly as it would running on a local physical Linux workstation and is accessed entirely through your browser from the **Comet** Open OnDemand web portal.
===== Requests =====

Requests for new/alternate versions of this package should be submitted via the [[https://nuservice.ncl.ac.uk|NUIT ITService]] website using the **HPC Software - Installation** category.

Software requests will be collated, prioritized and submitted to our HPC support vendor. 

<WRAP important round>
We are only able to provide ANSYS versions for which the University already holds a license. This is //usually//:

   * Current version
   * Current version minus 1
