ANSYS

ANSYS, Inc. is a multinational software company that develops engineering simulation software used in product design and optimization. Its tools cover finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and multiphysics simulations to help engineers predict performance, safety, and reliability across a range of industries.

Founded in 1970 as Swanson Analysis Systems by John Swanson, the company adopted the ANSYS brand and expanded its solver technology to support multiple physics. It is headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and operates globally with customers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, healthcare, and consumer products.

The ANSYS product portfolio centers on the Workbench platform, which unifies pre-processing, solving, and post-processing. Core applications include ANSYS Mechanical for structural analysis, ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS CFX for CFD, ANSYS Maxwell for electromagnetics, and ANSYS HFSS for high-frequency simulations. The company also offers ANSYS Discovery for interactive and rapid-simulation workflows, ANSYS SpaceClaim for CAD modeling and geometry cleanup, and optiSLang for design optimization and robust design.

In addition, ANSYS provides multiphysics coupling, cloud-based simulation options, and services tailored to industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, and healthcare.

ANSYS products are widely used for product development, performance optimization, and reliability assessment, and the company maintains a broad ecosystem of partnerships with research institutions and industry vendors.
