1. Advisories

  • Ansys Distributed Compute Services (DCS) 2024 R1 was the final version of DCS released by Ansys. Support for DCS will end in July of 2025.

    The functionality of DCS has been transitioned to Ansys HPC Platform Services — the next-generation solution for HPC workflow management from Ansys. With support for both on-premises and cloud computing environments, HPC Platform Services helps you manage the execution of simulations while making use of your full range of computing assets.

    You should now be using HPC Platform Services instead of DCS. Existing DCS users can continue to use DCS if necessary but are strongly encouraged to transition to HPC Platform Services at their earliest convenience. The look and feel of HPC Platform Services will be very familiar to DCS users, making the transition quick and easy.

    To get started or learn more, see the Ansys HPC Platform Services page on the Ansys Help site.
