+
+This document describes generic information of how to load and run ANSYS software in the Merlin cluster
+
+## ANSYS software in Pmodules
+
+The ANSYS software can be loaded through **[PModules](pmodules.md)**.
+
+The default ANSYS versions are loaded from the central PModules repository. 
+
+However, we provide local installations on Merlin7 which are needed mainly for some ANSYS packages, like Ansys RSM.
+Due to this, and also to improve the interactive experience of the user, ANSYS has been also installed in the 
+Merlin high performance storage and we have made it available from Pmodules. 
+
+### Loading Merlin7 ANSYS
+
+
+```bash
+module purge
+module use unstable # Optional
+module search ANSYS
+
+# Load the proper ANSYS version, in example for 2022R2
+module load ANSYS/2025R2
+```
+
+**We strongly recommend only using ANSYS/2024R2 or superior**.
