ANSYS, Inc. ANSS recently announced the integration of advanced data processing and visualization capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse, into select products, beginning with Fluent and AVxcelerate Sensors. It will showcase its advanced physics solvers and demonstrate these cutting-edge capabilities at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose, CA, from March 18-21 at Booth #224.

These enhancements will optimize simulation workflows by automating data preparation and enabling high-fidelity models that provide deeper insights. By simplifying complex processes, this integration minimizes the reliance on simulation experts to interpret results for decision-makers, product stakeholders and potential customers.

Preparing large volumes of data for simulation requires ensuring its quality, interoperability and flexibility, often necessitating the use of multiple software programs to configure parameters for a single simulation model. Additionally, once the model is parametrized, further specialized tools and expertise are typically required for visualization.

By leveraging Omniverse technologies, Ansys software enhances the interoperability, scalability and modularity of 3D scene data within a rich, open ecosystem. The integration of Omniverse with Ansys products streamlines simulation data preparation, particularly benefiting AVxcelerate Sensors applications. Within the Ansys interface, users can render immersive, photorealistic models, facilitating real-time collaboration and enhancing result communication.

Furthermore, PyAnsys, a suite of Python packages that enable seamless interaction with Ansys products, automatically formats simulation data, allowing practitioners and developers to effortlessly customize and automate simulations within their own applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse. A practical example of this technology in action is seen in Astec Industries, a global leader in specialized equipment manufacturing for asphalt road building, aggregate processing and concrete production, which utilizes Ansys to design and optimize asphalt drum dryers and hydrogen burners.

In March 2024, Ansys extended its collaboration with tech giant NVIDIA to expedite the advancement of simulation solutions driven by pioneering technologies like computing and generative AI. This will help advance 6G communication infrastructure, digital twins, next-generation simulations, autonomous vehicles, improved graphics and visual rendering.

Ansys' Strategic Partnerships Show Promise

The company’s collaborations with advanced technology suppliers, hardware vendors, specialized application developers, and CAD, ECAD and PLM providers is a key catalyst. Ansys’ partnership with CAD vendors – Autodesk, PTC and Siemens – enables data transfer among the CAD systems and the company’s products. Ansys-Spatial relationship helps in building the geometry modeling software solutions.

In February 2025, Ansys and Concepts NREC joined forces to introduce an automated workflow that seamlessly integrates design and analysis tools for turbomachinery applications. The integration of CFX into AxCent empowers designers to rapidly assess machine performance with enhanced predictive accuracy. In December 2024, Ansys joined forces with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation to elevate the validation of perception systems for ADAS and Autonomous Vehicles.

Also, Ansys is gaining from increased maintenance and subscription lease revenues. In fourth-quarter 2024, the company saw a 12.1% year-over-year increase in subscription lease revenues and a 13.8% rise in maintenance revenues. Ansys’ fourth quarter ACV accounted for 43% of the 2024 ACV. It anticipates double-digit ACV growth in 2025.
