DANTE Free Student/Trial Version

At DANTE, we believe hands-on learning is essential to developing the next generation of professionals in heat treatment and materials engineering. That’s why we offer a free trial/student license for both academic and industrial users. This license provides access to 13 stand-alone Utility Tools, DANTE FEA Modules (with limited mesh and element capabilities), and 2 Material Series, giving users a practical introduction to our powerful simulation technologies.

Educational: Use modeling to learn about heat treat processes and results such as hardness/carbon profile, phase transformations, etc. 

Industry-Aligned: Validated material models from experiments used by DANTE customers. These tools can be used to optimize or design heat treatment processes.

Tailored for Users of all Skills: The DANTE package offers both full FEA capabilities, designed to work with Ansys or Abaqus, and stand-alone utilities that can run independently on any standard computer. This combination of tools provides users at all experience levels with the opportunity to explore and better understand the heat treatment of steels.

Simulate Full Heat Treat Processes and Get Results Such as:

  • Carbon/Nitrogen Profiles
  • Hardness Profiles
  • Metallurgical Phase Volume Fractions

Predict How Material Properties Change Including:

  • Hardness
  • Microstructure
  • Transformation Strain
  • Distortion
  • Residual Stress
