Academic licence

Free for research and teaching

Analysis Suite is free for academic research and for classroom use: all three modules, at the same ceilings as the Large tier.

Who qualifies, and how to get it

Who qualifies. Students, faculty and research staff at a recognised institution, for coursework, theses and published research.

How to get it. Write to support@gheanalysis.com from your institutional address and tell us what you are working on. No form or purchase order is needed.

Free for coursework, theses and published research. A licence is still required for paid consulting or contract work, including when it is carried out within a university.

How to cite

If the software or its manual supported your work, please cite it. Two works can be cited: the software itself and its manual. Cite the one you used, or both. Citations help sustain the development of the software and the research behind it.

The identifiers below are concept DOIs: each always resolves to the latest deposited version, so a citation made today does not go stale. If you are reproducing a specific result, cite instead the DOI of the exact version you used, listed on the Zenodo record.

A DOI is being assigned for this module. In the meantime, cite the reference above and the underlying papers.

Citing the underlying methods. The models implemented here are documented in a series of peer-reviewed publications. When a specific method is central to your own work, g-function construction, borehole thermal resistance, spectral simulation, inclined boreholes, standing column wells, the short-term borehole response, or the hydraulic formulation, please also cite the corresponding paper. Each manual lists them in its References section.

Scripting your studies in Python

The Academic licence includes pyghe, the Python API of GHE Analysis. It runs the same kernel from a script: parametric sweeps, uncertainty analyses and optimization of the borehole positions become loops, and a case file published with a paper lets others reproduce its results with the same code. The package is open source, on GitHub and PyPI, and covers the GHE module for now.

Why it is free

Analysis Suite is developed at a spin-off of Polytechnique Montréal, and a share of its revenue already goes to the graduate students whose published research it implements.
