Anyone can buy a license. What actually moves your technology forward is Ansys in the right configuration — plus application engineers who've solved your class of problem before. We deliver both, and it's free to start: free evaluation licenses, free engineering support to build your MVP, and a free eligibility check for the discounted Ansys Startup Program. Whether you're incorporated, in stealth, or still pre-company — before and after your funding comes through.
Get hands-on with the exact Ansys tools your project needs — evaluate the real software on your real problem, free, before committing to anything.
A free consultation on whether you qualify for the Ansys Startup Program — significantly discounted, bundled access to multiphysics software, HPC, and the Ansys Learning Hub for eligible early-stage companies.
Talk your project through with an application engineer who'll help you learn and apply Ansys to your MVP — models, physics, meshing, and results you can stand behind.
The program gives young companies bundled, discounted access to the same simulation firepower the primes use. Eligibility is generous, which is why it's the lowest-friction way to get Ansys into your hands.
Not sure if you qualify? That's exactly the kind of question a quick call answers. Eligibility and pricing are confirmed case-by-case.
Each bundle includes HPC scalability. Choose the physics your technology depends on:
We're the engineering muscle — not grant writers. We help you get the tools running and producing credible results.
We scope the exact products, HPC, and licensing your problem needs — no over- or under-buying.
Application engineers help you build the model correctly the first time and interpret the results.
Get your team productive fast with guided onboarding and the Ansys Learning Hub.
Start on an evaluation now; scale into full licenses when your award lands. We work with your timeline.
We do not prepare, review, or advise on grant, SBIR/STTR, or contract applications, and we don't complete any documents for you. Our lane is simulation software and engineering support to build and validate your technology. That focus keeps us out of regulated advisory territory — and keeps us the best in the world at the one thing we do.
