Key Takeways:

• A major transformation is underway across multiple industries toward model-based systems engineering (MBSE) processes for the design and deployment of complex products and systems that span multiple domains within the engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical, electronics, embedded software, and controls) as well as multiple disciplines across the entire product lifecycle
• The need to accurately simulate and predict the behavior of today’s complex systems, especially in the cyber-physical realm, has led to a number of strategic acquisitions by ANSYS over the past decade in the areas of electronics and embedded software engineering—the latest of these...
