Once closed, the acquisition will empower ANSYS customers to solve a new class of engineering challenges, including developing safer automobiles, aircrafts and trains while reducing or even eliminating the need for costly physical testing.

The automotive industry has widely adopted the Livermore, California company's gold-standard solution, LS-DYNA, a highly scalable multi-physics solver, to accurately predict a vehicle's behavior and the effects on occupants during a collision.

The combined company's strengths in simulation for structures, fluids, electromagnetics, optics, safety and machine learning will deliver a powerful solution for autonomous and electric vehicles to global automotive manufacturers and their suppliers.
