ANSYS is a public company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange: ANSS

Product Family Description

ANSYS Simulation-Driven Product Development: ANSYS offers a comprehensive software suite that spans the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation that a design process requires. Organizations around the world trust ANSYS to deliver the best value for their engineering simulation software investment. http://ansys.com/Products

Systems and Multiphysics: Engineering products the way you have for the last 20 years is simply no longer an option in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace. Simulation has revolutionized product development over the past decades by minimizing costly physical testing and accelerating time-to-market in every industry around the world. But for many companies, that simulation has largely focused on components or subsystems. Technology advancements in engineering simulation software now bring a total systems approach to product design and engineering. http://ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Systems+&+Multiphysics

Fluid Dynamics: ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software is a comprehensive suite of products that allows you to predict, with confidence, the impact of fluid flows on your product—throughout design and manufacturing as well as during end use. The software's unparalleled fluid flow analysis capabilities can be used to design and optimize new equipment and to troubleshoot already existing installations. Whatever fluid flow phenomena you are studying—single- or multi-phase, isothermal or reacting, compressible or not—ANSYS fluid dynamics solutions give you valuable insight into your product's performance. http://ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Fluid+Dynamics

Structural Analysis: The ANSYS structural analysis software suite is trusted by organizations around the world to rapidly solve complex structural engineering problems with ease. FEA analysis (finite element) tools from ANSYS provide the ability to simulate every structural aspect of a product:

  • Linear static analysis that simply provides stresses or deformations
  • Modal analysis that determines vibration characteristics
  • Advanced transient nonlinear phenomena involving dynamic effects and complex behaviors

http://ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Structural+Analysis

Electronics: Engineers rely on ANSYS electronics simulation software to design robust and power-efficient integrated circuits (ICs), printed-circuit boards (PCBs), communication infrastructures, and electromechanical systems.Our electronics simulation software is ideal for the design of electromechanical as well as power electronics components and systems common to the automotive, aerospace, high-tech and industrial automation industries. Designing sophisticated electronic devices means creating numerically large models with detailed geometry and complex physics. ANSYS delivers high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities that enable rapid processing of the toughest simulations. http://ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Electronics

Primary Markets and Focus

ANSYS provides advanced engineering simulation solutions across a wide range of industries including: aerospace and defense, automotive, oil and gas, turbomachinery, healthcare, construction, consumer goods and materials, and chemical processing.

The more you read about industrial sustainability and the circular economy the more you hear about corporate leaders who are readying their companies to take advantage of the transformational opportunities that will undoubtedly become available. All this has implications and opportunities for PLM. Most apparent is the need to embed the end of a product's useful life through the creation of innovative new products while at the same time supporting the full lifecycle. Those companies able to do this will be rewarded.
