Hi, can anyone please tell me how much a license for Ansys fluent could cost?

Thanks

Yes, your ANSYS representative.
But really, it depends on your situation; is your usage commercial or academic? are you looking for a license for a startup company or for a multinational? and probably, the amount of licenses has quite the impact too. So I don't think you can count on a good answer here...

It's for academic use. I just need one license. But I guess you're right, better ask the representative... thanks anyway!

That'll probably reduce the costs significantly over a commercial license. You are also aware of the free version of ANSYS I presume (512k grid cells limited) for student use?

Yes. I'm already using it. Thanks again!

I'm tired of this nonsense of people saying it's impossible to know the license cost.

Solidworks license cost is out there. http://www.computeraideddesignguide....lidworks-cost/

STAR-CCM+ license cost is out there (~$19k for a single seat, ~$38k for a power license, ~$20/hr for power on demand in fixed increments).

Contractors with licenses on this forum know what they are paying. Is there some clause of the license contract that says you cannot divulge what you paid under threat of lawsuit? Yes, they can vary the price significantly based on industry, packages included, or bulk pricing but people who are asking are looking for a ballpark number without the hassle of going back and forth with a sales rep. (Good luck getting a solid number in their first reply!) If someone asked the price of a car would you brush them off and tell them to ask their dealer, or would you quote MSRP and how much a buddy of yours paid for the car?

Stop being obtuse or just admit you don't know. As for Fluent, I don't know, that's why I came here. This is the closest I've found: http://mscnastrannovice.blogspot.com...nsys-cost.html

MarioRP, how about letting us know what you are quoted for your academic license when you get a quote?

I don't know what the cost of a commercial license is. I do know that it is very difficult to convince my boss that we need an extra license, so it is not cheap. The estimate of kaazto28 seems to be the correct order of magnitude.

The academic version is much cheaper. Again, I don't have numbers, but it must be at least 10 times cheaper, maybe even 100 times!

If I would have exact numbers, I would not feel comfortable to post them here. It feels confidential...

Did you ever get a quote for a single academic license? I am also looking to get a quote for a single multi-node license for academic use.

What multi node licence mean?
What has licence threads with CPU cores?

Single-node licenses are linked to a particular machine and may only be used on that machine. Multi-node licenses are typically located on a host server and accessed over a network, and are permitted to be used by machines other than the host. Multi-node licenses are the typical approach in a multi-user environment. There's various reasons why a customer might choose a single-node license and they are not uncommon. It's also possible to have a mixture of different license types for various reasons.



Each CPU core runs a thread of the program and each CPU-thread needs a parallel (HPC) license to run.

14 HPC

That mean CPU can use only 14 cores when solving one task, so even processor has 24 cores they are useless because they cant be used all of them, so solving time is longer?

There's several different options for parallel licenses. HPC packs scale by powers of 4 plus the additional 4 you get for free with a individual seat license. 1 HPC Pack gives you 12, 7 HPC Packs is 32772 cores.... 14 Packs is... 536,870,916 parallel threads. That's 3 orders of magnitude more than the largest cluster ever assembled.


But if you did only have 12 licensees with some other license configuration (not 14 HPC Packs!!!) on a 24 core machine then yes you wouldn't be able to fully load the machine.

So 14 HPC pack licence can use all 32 cores in machine with 2x 16 cores CPU?
for one user..

With 32 cores you would only use 2 HPC Packs. And if you only had 24 cores, I would recommend getting parallel licenses but your sales rep will tell you which is the right one for you. Why would you buy 14 HPC Packs when 2 would be enough?

14 HPC has my friend.

What is parallel license?
Total numbers of CPU cores determine which license you will buy, so you buy software from hardware(CPU) that you have?

I dont get it, which computer has 32768 cores?
This is impossible..

HPC licenses are not HPC packs. HPC licenses are 1 per core. HPC packs scales in powers of 4. They are not the same. If your friend has 14 HPC packs, then you can run just about anything. But if you have only 32 cores, then having 14 HPC packs is meaningless because you'll just waste money on the other 12 packs. If you have 14 HPC licenses then that is an entirely different story. Maybe you should be more up front with what type of license you actually have.

Yes indeed more than 7 HPC packs is extremely uncommon. Anyway I do use a 30 000 node cluster so it's not impossible. Still, we don't use HPC packs. We use regular parallel HPC licenses because of the flexibility.


Also your 1 HPC pack gets you 12 cores now. But why do you keep talking about HPC packs if you don't have any?

Maybe I be in postion to use 14.

What is 30 000 node mean?
What has node with cores?

Why do I need many cores if CPU with lots of cores has relatively slow clock speed?

Or maybe you're fos. You don't have 14 HPC Packs. The only people that have that many are criminals.
