Corporate Brochure

ANSYS designs, develops, markets and globally supports engineering simulation solutions used to predict how product designs will behave in manufacturing and real-world environments.

Its integrated, modular and extensible set of solutions addresses the needs of organizations in a wide range of industries. ANSYS’ solutions qualify risk, enabling organizations to know if their designs are acceptable or unacceptable — not just that they will function as designed. ANSYS helps organizations achieve:

• Innovative and high-quality products and processes
• Fewer physical prototypes and test setups
• Faster return on investment due to reduced development time
• A more flexible and responsive information-based development process,enabling the modification of designs at later stages of development
• A front-end simulation strategy that offers a superior method for bringing products to market in less time and with fewer costs

ANSYS is leading the evolution of CAE tools and technologies, delivering customer value by enabling companies to improve product development and processes. ANSYS is committed to developing simulation solutions — from mechanical to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) — that illustrate realistic and accurate modeling and simulation of components, subsystems, and systems. Replacing hardware prototyping and testing, ANSYS solutions drive product designs from concept to reality, providing an engineering simulation system for a fast, efficient and cost-conscious information-based development process.

The most prestigious companies in the world turn to ANSYS for the company’s history of development and delivery of the most reliable engineering simulation solutions.

INTEGRATED
As the need for engineering simulation becomes a driving factor to ensure company success, more and more companies are realizing the importance of integrated solutions. ANSYS is focused on delivering a next-generation simulation system that encompasses multiple tools built to work together and be integrated into a customer’s development process.

Because the interaction among multiple physics allows users to simulate subsystem and system performance accurately and reliably, ANSYS’ goal is to develop synergies among all technologies and make increasingly powerful solutions that can be deployed throughout all stages of product development. By combining industry-leading modeling (meshing) and simulation (solver) technologies that capture the behavior of multiple physics and the effect of product environment, ANSYS provides more than a point-solution. In addition to plug-in–level integration with all computer-aided design packages, ANSYS delivers a fully integrated engineering simulation system that fits seamlessly with customer product data management (PDM) backbone and other upstream/downstream applications.

MODULAR
ANSYS is focused on delivering a modular simulation system that is easy to use and to extend to meet customer needs. Many customers begin by installing ANSYS up-front simulation tools — developed for designers and engineers — to simulate components with behavior governed primarily by single physics, such as stress or thermal. As the design matures from the early phases into final verification, there is a need for coupled-field — or multiple physics interaction — simulations, which are required to model and simulate subsystems and systems. This modular architecture makes ANSYS solutions not only affordable, but also easy to develop, test and maintain. In addition, modular solutions are a relatively low-risk investment and can expand as value is demonstrated within a company.

EXTENSIBLE
As the need for engineering simulation becomes commonplace, organizations require solutions that can be tailored easily to meet industry and customer specific needs. To address this, the ANSYS technology platform uses industry-standard programming and scripting languages that allow ANSYS out-of-the-box solutions to be tailored quickly into vertical applications by ANSYS partners and customers. Even product designers without extensive knowledge and training on underlying simulation technologies can use vertical applications. The benefits of deploying vertical applications are well understood by ANSYS customers. Additionally, customization enables capture of design rules and corporate knowledge, resulting in improved productivity. The extensibility and customization of ANSYS core technologies and out-of-the box solutions allow ANSYS technology and service partners to create better value for organizations.
