CEMS Software Access Requests

While most CEMS software is available to all CEMS students, Abaqus, Ansys, COMSOL, LabView, and SolidWorks have licensing agreements restricting access to specific courses, research purposes, or based on other criteria.

If you’re a student in a course that requires specialized CEMS software, and you receive a licensing error when attempting to launch one of these applications on Virtual Votey, or you cannot see the software within AppsAnywhere, contact your instructor or academic research advisor and ask them to submit a CEMS Software Access Request.
