The ANSYS software will also be used extensively to support research activities across the School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The partnership provides UConn\u2019s engineering faculty and students with academic and research licenses of ANSYS software across their entire product line including licenses for HPC (high performance computing). <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The software that ANSYS is providing to UConn is widely used within the engineering profession, said Vito Moreno, a professor in the department of mechanical engineering who runs the Mechanical Engineering \u00a0Department\u2019s\u00a0Senior Design Program. He added that ANSYS is the software used by many of the corporate sponsors of the design program, in which senior students take on different engineering challenges and seek solutions to them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">\u201cSo here\u2019s a chance to work on a real-world problem by applying this software, and that really helps the transition from students to working professionals,\u201d\u00a0 Moreno said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Baki Cetegen, head of the mechanical engineering department, called the partnership a \u201cwin-win arrangement between UConn engineering and ANSYS.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">&#8220;This allows our students to learn to use the state-of-the-art computational software for fluid dynamics, structural and thermal analyses to analyze complex engineering problems,\u201d Cetegen said. \u201cTheir experience with learning and using these tools make them highly desirable for a large number of employers who use the same software.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students at UConn&#8217;s School of Engineering will now have access to valuable ANSYS engineering software, thanks to a new partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":223957,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1866],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[2110],"class_list":["post-203720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engr"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 05:31:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203720"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224204,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203720\/revisions\/224204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/223957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203720"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=203720"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=203720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
