Desktop GUI

The full ANSYS Workbench GUI can be started from a Linux X11 Desktop session running from 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 NUIT ITService website using the HPC Software - Installation category.

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

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
