HUST applies Ansys simulation in education

On July 24, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) signed an MoU with ANSYS (part of Synopsys) to make Ansys simulation software training/course content available to the university for use within their curriculum to drive preparedness and best practices of student software usage enabling the greatest output in the workforce upon graduation. Vietnam Government is aiming to increase its R&D investment, targeting to 2% of GDP by 2030. To achieve this, Vietnam is focusing on increasing public R&D funding with key technology focus like AI, Semiconductor and other industries.

HUST, with nearly 70 years of history, is the leading multidisciplinary technical university in Vietnam. HUST is constantly looking for potential partners to develop the University's science and technology, as well as contribute to the growth of the nation and society.

ANSYS Inc. is a leading company in the field of engineering simulation and analysis software development. The company is famous for its ANSYS software, which is widely used worldwide and is very suitable for simulating and calculating engineering problems.

Engineering simulation software is applied in the field: Solid Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Electromagnetics, Heat Transfer, Acoustics.
  HUST has surveyed the needs of Ansys software at HUST and found that many faculties and institutes have a need to use it, so signing a memorandum of cooperation with Ansys will help promote research and teaching of simulation technology at HUST.

Ansys simulation tools are widely used in large industrial corporations in the world as well as in Vietnam. HUST is one of the first universities to apply Ansys simulation in Vietnam with DASI center. Applying simulation to teaching research brings many benefits for both lecturers and students.

Ansys will make Ansys simulation software training/course content available to the university for use within their curriculum to drive preparedness and best practices of student software usage enabling the greatest output in the workforce upon graduation.
  Assoc. Prof. Huynh Dang Chinh, Vice President of HUST, delievered his speech at the event: “This partnership with Ansys will enhance HUST’s engineering programs and empower our faculty and students to lead in technological innovation. Vietnam is increasingly focusing on high-tech industries, and this initiative is both timely and aligned with HUST’s commitment to deliver world-class, industry-ready graduates.”

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Sukhwan Moon, Vice Prident of Sales/APAC, said, “At Ansys, we believe that simulation is not just a tool but also a catalyst for innovation. Our association with HUST echoes Ansys’ deep-rooted commitment to allowing the next generation of engineers to have the much-needed skills to thrive in high-growth sectors. Together, we are working toward fostering a future-ready workforce that can drive sustainable technological advancement locally and globally.”
  As per the agreement, Ansys will provide simulation resources via its Ansys Innovation Space and Learning Hub and course recommendations that support HUST’s academic objectives and reflect evolving industry standards. Ansys will also conduct "train-the-trainer" sessions through its local channel partners. This will equip HUST faculty and teaching assistants with the knowledge and tools to deliver the curriculum successfully.

Future collaboration will include joint academic-industry events, specialized training sessions, and curriculum integration across relevant departments. Ansys and HUST will also explore further opportunities for research and innovation to deepen the partnership over time.

Aroop Tyagi, APAC Academic Program Director, Ansys, said about the partnership, “Ansys is happy to partner with HUST, a premier engineering institution in Vietnam. Through this collaboration, our aim is to prepare students with critical simulation skills that are highly relevant to the industry. By embedding simulation into the curriculum of HUST, we can help bridge the gap between academia and industry and also support Vietnam’s growing role in the global electronics ecosystem.”

Ansys’ academic initiative already supports over 2,800 universities in 86 countries with cutting-edge simulation software, training, and resources. This partnership, which is a strategic step, will help advance the integration of simulation-led learning into university curricula.
