Abstract
This paper describes and discusses the implementation, in a high-throughput computing environment, of the ANSYS® commercial suite. ANSYS® implements the calculations in a way which can be ported onto parallel architectures efficiently and for this reason the User Support Unit of the Italian Grid Initiative (IGI) and the INFN-Legnaro National Laboratories (INFN-LNL) worked together to implement a Grid enabled version of the ANSYS® code using the IGI Portal, a powerful and easy to use gateway to distributed computing and storage resources. The collaboration focused on the porting of the code onto the EGI Grid environment for the benefit of the involved community and for those communities interested in exploiting production Grid infrastructures in the same way.
