Evaluation Version

The free evaluation version of Zencrack demonstrates the capabilities of the program on a set of supplied models. It includes Abaqus, Ansys and Simcenter Nastran interfaces and has full functionality of Zencrack Professional, including the Zencrack GUI, subject to some restrictions:

  • only the supplied models can be run
  • the GUI allows use of all options other than the ability to save input data and run models other than the supplied files
  • Zencrack user subroutines are not allowed
  • to perform analysis of the supplied models either Abaqus, Ansys or Simcenter Nastran must be available on the machine on which the Zencrack evaluation is installed.

The evaluation version is a product-only installation - no license server is required or included and during the installation process you should choose the Nodelocked option. After accepting the licence terms below, the next screen provides the steps to request download links and an evaluation license file. To provide an evaluation license file we will require some contact details from you but it is not necessary for you to provide any information regarding the specific hardware on which you intend to run the evaluation.

You will receive an e-mail response with information about accessing the program and documentation installers and the evaluation license file. To begin the evaluation process, please accept the terms below.

Please read and accept the license terms to continue
