'''ANSYS''' simulation software, with its comprehensive Multiphysics capabilities, provides bundles that offer structural mechanics, explicit dynamics, fluid dynamics and thermal simulation capabilities. These bundles also include ANSYS Workbench, relevant CAD import tools, solid modeling and meshing, and high-performance computing (HPC) capability.<br />
Electronics Academic Products: Bundles that offer high-frequency, signal integrity, RF, microwave, millimeter-wave device and other electronic engineering simulation capabilities. These bundles include products such as ANSYS HFSS, ANSYS Q3D Extractor, ANSYS Slwave, ANSYS Maxwell and ANSYS Simplorer Advanced. <br />
<br />
ANSYS software is used to simulate and analyze a broad range of scientific, engineering, and design processes and includes many components such as:<br />
<br />
* ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX and ANSYS Polyflow for Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations<br />
* ANSYS Mechanical (and Mechanical APDL) for thermal and structural analysis<br />
* ANSYS HFSS for high-frequency, electromagnetic simulation – antenna design, radar cross sections analysis, etc.<br />
* ANSYS Maxwell for low-frequency, electromagnetic simulation – remote power transfer devices, electric drive simulation, etc.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>== About Phishing ==<br />
From UA OIT:<br />
Phishing is a form of social engineering that uses email or websites to pose as a trustworthy organization in order to access your data. Most commonly we see phishing attacks in email. Scammers or hackers will pose as an organization you trust in order to trick you into giving them sensitive data like a username, password, social security number or credit card information.<br />
<br />
== Tips to identify Phishing ==<br />
When you get an email that just doesn’t feel right, follow the tips below to avoid becoming a victim of a phishing attack.<br />
* Check the email address. If it is supposed to be from UA then it will end in ua.edu<br />
* Hover over '''(don't click)''' any links in the email to see where they are actually going<br />
* Watch for poor spelling and grammar<br />
* Beware of urgent, coercive, or threatening language<br />
<br />
== What to do if you suspect phishing ==<br />
If you receive an email that you suspect is a phishing attempt, forward it to support@eng.ua.edu.<br />
We will contact you and let you know what to do.<br />
<br />
== Phishing / Scam Examples ==<br />

<hr />
<div>== About the Network drives ==<br />
Network drives are actually just folders shared on ua-net file servers. The three main categories of shared folders are departmental, user, and labs. <br />
<br />
All files and folders on ua-net file servers are backed up daily so if you accidentally delete something you should be able to recover your files from a saved network backup.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Common Network Drives ==<br />
'''Departmental Drive ("T" Drive)'''<br><br />
All CoE faculty and staff have access to \\share\coe. This is normally mapped to the letter T and hence referred to as the "T drive".<br><br />
All departmental data should be stored here.<br />
<br />
'''User Drive'''<br><br />
All ua-net user accounts have access to \\home\{first letter of username}\{username} (example: if username is jsmith, then path is \\home\j\jsmith).<br />
This is used for storage of personal user data and is normally mapped to the letter U and referred to as the "U drive".<br><br />
Departmental data should not be stored here.<br />
<br />
'''Lab/Project Folders'''<br><br />
Faculty and students can access lab or project folders on \\labfs.ua-net.ua.edu\share\{project}<br><br />
The faculty member in charge of the lab or project can request access by emailing support@eng.ua.edu and including the myBama User ID's (mybama username) of users requiring access.<br />

<div>== About the Network drives ==<br />
Network drives are actually just folders shared on ua-net file servers. The three main categories of shared folders are departmental, user, and labs. <br />
<br />
All files and folders on ua-net file servers are backed up daily so if you accidentally delete something you should be able to recover your files from a saved network backup.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Common Network Drives ==<br />
'''Departmental Drive ("T" Drive)'''<br><br />
All CoE faculty and staff have access to \\share\coe. This is normally mapped to the letter T and hence referred to as the "T drive".<br><br />
All departmental data should be stored here.<br />
<br />
'''User Drive'''<br><br />
All ua-net user accounts have access to \\home\{first letter of username}\{username} (example: if username is jsmith, then path is \\home\j\jsmith).<br />
This is used for storage of personal user data and is normally mapped to the letter U and referred to as the "U drive".<br><br />
Departmental data should not be stored here.<br />
<br />
'''Lab/Project Folders'''<br><br />
Faculty and students can access lab or project folders on \\labfs.ua-net.ua.edu\share\{project}<br><br />
The faculty member in charge of the lab or project can request access by emailing support@eng.ua.edu and including the myBama User ID's (mybama username) of users requiring access.<br />
