Ansys, Inc.
"Empower Innovators to Drive Human Advancement"
Engineering simulation software leader whose multiphysics tools support robotics, autonomous-vehicle and AV sensor development; now part of Synopsys.
Ansys, Inc. is a leading American developer of engineering simulation and 3D design software, founded in 1970 as Swanson Analysis Systems by John Swanson and headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. On July 17, 2025, Ansys became a subsidiary of Synopsys, forming a combined leader in engineering solutions spanning silicon to systems. Ansys delivers a comprehensive multiphysics portfolio covering structures, fluids, electronics, optics, 3D design, materials, embedded software and safety analysis, with flagship products such as Ansys Fluent, Ansys Mechanical, Ansys HFSS and Ansys LS-DYNA used across aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, healthcare, high-tech and industrial-equipment industries. For robotics, autonomy and intelligent systems, Ansys provides dedicated tools for autonomous-vehicle simulation, autonomous sensor development (radar, lidar, camera modeling), avionics and flight controls, motion and multibody dynamics (Ansys Motion), electric motor design (Motor-CAD), and digital-twin and safety-analysis workflows.
These capabilities let robotics and AV developers virtually design, test and validate perception, motion and control systems, reducing physical testing and accelerating safe deployment, as illustrated by customer work such as Embraer's autonomous-systems program. Ansys also supports embedded and functional-safety software development and offers AI-driven simulation tooling and an AI-powered assistant (AnsysGPT) for engineering support. Through its academic program, Ansys provides free student software, courses and research resources, making its simulation platform widely used in education and scientific research. The company combines more than 50 years of simulation expertise with a broad partner ecosystem, consulting and training services, positioning its software as core infrastructure for designing intelligent, autonomous and robotic products from concept through validation.
