A google on[code]Ansys Workbench site:centos.org[/code]turns up quite a few hits, and they list RHEL5 as [url=http://www.ansys.com/services/os-support-table.asp]supported[/url] so it [i]should[/i] work. Try it and let us know. (They surely like [b]small[/b] fonts.)

P.S.
For future reference - a link to an external site would save some digging by people trying to figure out what your post is about.

Just re-read your original post and noted that you refer to CentOS 4.3. If that is what you meant:

1. You are posting in the wrong forum - this one is for CentOS 5.
2. You are seriously behind. Current CentOS 4 release is 4.8.

As to your CAD/CAE needs, I can't speak to that, but still looks like Ansys should work on either CentOS 4 or 5. It is hard for anybody to recommend as we have no idea what your requirements for CAD/CAE software may be and that is a very wide field with a lot of specialized (and often very expensive) players. Please be explicit as to your CentOS version and your requirements.

Good morning,

I dont thihk I posted my questions on wrong forum. First of all, I think here must be posted questions which are reffering to software used on CentOS 5.3.

Because people who used CAE software (like ANSYS software) recomand this version of linux. Because I encountered some problem with installing of CentOS 4.8 I bound to install on my home computer CentOS 5.3. This is the reason because I put my question on this part of forum, because is dedicated to CentOS 5.x.

So, somebody can recomand me some virtual machine which I can install on my computer ? Some softaware of virtual machine is preinstaled on CentOS like in Ubuntu ? If is or not you can help me to install it on my computer.

Thank you in advance for support and best regards.

OK - thanks for clearing that up. The title is correct, the text is wrong. The CentOS 5 forum is correct.

Really should start a new topic for a different question, but see the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos#head-fb1ff7e71fb5f2f511cda8c68cb6ba5f6e8decae]virtualization[/url] Wiki articles for options.
