  Hi there,
  
  I am an "Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)" graduate student at NC State University and am using ANSYS Workbench Structures 19.4 (Academic). I am wondering can ANSYS consider to add Icepak in "Workbench Structures". It will be very helpful for electronics heat transfer simulation. Thank you.

  Do you mean adding Icepak features inside Workbench Mechanical GUI ? Or you mean adding Icepak installation in Structures installation package ?
  
  What is the name of the installation package you used ?
  
  Thanks,

  Hi,
  
  I mean can ANSYS add Icepak in the left side "Toolbox"? As shown in the picture. I am using ANSYS Workbench Structures 19.4 (Academic). Thank you.

  Yours looks like student (free) version, not academic (paid) version. The student version does not offer Icepak.
  
  I can verify this if you are not sure what you are using. In the GUI, click Tools -> License Preferences , then post the screenshot of it here

  Actually, I found Icepak is in ANSYS Electronics, as shown in second picture. However, I still hope ANSYS can add Icepak in Workbench due to the optimization of multiphysics simulation. Thank you.

  We do have Icepak in Workbench.
  
  What is the exact file name of the installation package you used ? Did you download from ANSYS Customer Portal or you get it from IT ?

  I installed ANSYS from the university's software center, as shown in fig. 1.
  
  The detailed information on "ANSYS Structures 19.4" is shown in fig. 2.
  
  Note: As I mentioned in the previous comment, the Icepak is only in "ANSYS Electronics 19.4" (fig. 1)
  
  Thank you.

  Hello,
  
  Please go ahead and install the ANSYS Fluids package 19.4 since it contains the Icepak standalone and should help you get it into Workbench too.

  I just installed it. However, it still doesn't contain Icepak in the"Toolbox" of Workbench as below.
  Left side is only ANSYS Structures 19.4. Right side is "Structures plus Fluid". (The tools in red boxs belong to Fluid, because it came out after Fluid installation)

  These are not original ANSYS installation packages. The original Fluids package would include Workbench-Icepak as dsurendr suggested. Since this is customized by your IT, you will have to ask them if they included Icepak portion in this Fluids package.
