ANSYS Workbench Alternatives for Linux

ANSYS Workbench is not available for Linux but there are some alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is COMSOL Multiphysics. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try FEATool Multiphysics or Elmer. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 10 alternatives to ANSYS Workbench and six of them are available for Linux so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Linux alternatives to ANSYS Workbench are ENigMA, AICFD and Impact Finite Element.
