University Site and Volume Licenses
We manage several license contracts for UW users. The following links will take you to information pages and/or download pages for the software.
Ansys (more info)
ANSYS workbench is the unifying graphical user interface to the multitude of ANSYS simulation products, which are predominantly based on implementations of the finite element method and computational fluid dynamics.
LabVIEW (National Instruments) (order | install )
LabVIEW is the graphical development environment for creating flexible and scalable test, measurement, and control applications rapidly and at minimal cost. With LabVIEW, engineers and scientists interface with real-world signals, analyze data for meaningful information, and share results and applications. Regardless of experience, LabVIEW makes development fast and easy for all users.
- There is no cost.
- All current faculty, staff and students are covered under the terms of the license.
The Maple library of procedures common to many scientific and engineering applications includes: linear algebra, number theory, statistics, group theory, linear optimization, differential forms, and student calculus.
- UW undergraduate students on University-owned equipment only
- UW faculty, staff, or graduate students on personal equipment
- There is no charge for the software
- The license is perpetual as long as the user is eligible
Mathematica ( order | install )
Mathematica reads lines of input, waiting until a syntactically complete expression has been entered, then evaluates the expression.
- The College of Engineering and Arts and Sciences purchased this site license for the period through 6/30/2015. All current faculty, staff and students on all three campuses, Seattle, Bothell, and Tacoma, are covered under the terms of the license.
- There is no cost.
- Mathematica may be installed on all University owned computers.
- Students may install Mathematica on their personally owned computers.
- Faculty and academic staff may use the software on their home machines.
MATLAB ( price list | order )
MATLAB integrates numerical analysis, matrix computation, signal processing, and graphics in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed just as they are written mathematically, without traditional programming.
- Matlab purchase is limited to academic, degree-granting units.
- Purchases can be made using a UW budget number only. Credit cards, check, or other forms of payment are not accepted.
- Matlab and any toolboxes purchased under this program are to be used solely in support of classroom instruction and research activities.
- The right to use MATLAB or any toolboxes available through this program for commercial purposes is expressly excluded.
- Note: Licenses available through this program renew each September regardless of the purchase date. Each license will terminate and the software included in this program will stop operating after expiration of the subscription term unless renewed by the user. The amount of the license renewal fees will be provided to the user in advance of the renewal date and license expiration.
Tecplot is used by engineers and scientists who need to create a wide
range of high-quality plots from simple XY plots to sophisticated 3-D
plots from data sets of up to millions of data points.
- There is not cost
- All current faculty, staff and students are covered under the terms of the license.
