Student trial License

Simulate Heat Treat Processes and Get Results:

Get hands-on experience with DANTE heat treatment simulation software.

Perfect for metallurgy students, researchers, and first-time users who want to learn about distortion, phases, hardness, and heat treat modeling.

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.

Learning About DANTE Material Models

Read the models we use to make DANTE Run. learn about the several complex processes such as austenite decomposing or tempering.

The student/trial license includes:

  • Limited access to the DANTE FEA software
  • Limited access to 13 standalone DANTE utility tools
  • Access to two materials from the DANTE material database

This version is designed to help users become familiar with DANTE’s modeling environment and supporting tools before upgrading to a full commercial license.

The DANTE trial license provides access to a limited version of the software indefinitely. There is no expiration date on the trial license, allowing users to explore the interface, tools, and workflows without time constraints.

The student/trial version includes access to two preset materials from the DANTE material database. Users can explore the interface, review workflows, and utilize available tools; however, the trial version does not allow users to run full heat treatment simulations.

This limitation ensures users can evaluate the platform structure and capabilities while full simulation functionality remains part of the licensed version.
