ANSYS Inc

ANSYS Inc is an American company based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania that develops and markets CAD/CAM and Multiphysics engineering simulation software for product design, testing and operation. ANSYS Inc has a rich history that dates to 1970 when John Swanson founded it. He sold his interest in the company to venture capitalists firm TA Associates in 1993 and ANSYS Inc went public on NASDAQ in 1996 raising about $46 million in an initial public offering.

In the late 1990s, ANSYS Inc shifted its business model away from software licenses, and corresponding revenue declined but revenue from services increased stronger. By 1997, ANSYS Inc had grown to $50.5 million in annual revenue.

From 1996 to 1999, profits at ANSYS Inc grew an average of 160 percent per year. In the 2000s, ANSYS Inc acquired numerous other engineering design companies, obtaining additional technology for fluid dynamics, electronics design, and physics analysis and now offers its products and services to customers worldwide.

ANSYS Inc became a component of the NASDAQ-100 index in 2019. Jim Cashman was appointed CEO in February 2000 and the current CEO, Ajei S. Gopal, was appointed in 2017.

ANSYS Inc offers ANSYS Workbench, a framework for engineering simulation technologies, Multiphysics software, a high-performance computing product suite and a structural analysis product suite that provides simulation tools for product design and optimisation. ANSYS Inc also provides several product suites, as well as safety-certified embedded software solutions.

ANSYS Inc oversees a high-value product portfolio which serves engineers, designers, researchers, and students in the aerospace and defence, automotive, electronics, semiconductors, energy, materials and chemical processing, turbomachinery, consumer products, healthcare, and sports industries.

Today, ANSYS Inc is truly one of the most valuable technology company in the world with a market capitalization of US$ 31.845 billion recorded in July 2025. In 2025 the total staff compliment for ANSYS Inc was more than 4,800.

ANSYS Inc’s growth momentum can be attributed to a strong adoption of the company’s products, portfolio strength, and expanding partner base, all factors that are helping the company to maintain a dominant position in the simulation software market. ANSYS Inc’s solutions are in demand due to the rising complexity in product design and wide scale adoption by major manufacturing concerns.

ANSYS Inc’s latest ANSYS 18 release offers new enhanced product features, which act as a game changer for the company in the simulation software market. This product delivers simulation solutions for developing autonomous vehicle, high-performance chips for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and IoT products.

With its increasing innovations to address enterprise IoT needs, it is believed that ANSYS Inc is well positioned to gain from an increase in spending. Increasing collaborations and acquisitions are also driving growth for ANSYS Inc. It has partnered with major CAD vendors- Autodesk, PTC and Siemens to provide data transfer services as well as build geometry modelling software solutions.

ANSYS Inc is increasing its reach in the cloud computing market on the back of a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). ANSYS Inc collaborates with companies like NVIDIA NVDA, Ferrari, Taiwan Semiconductor TSM, Synopsys SNPS and Grundfos, which resulted in products ranging from automotive reliability solutions, live simulation software, and high-performance steering wheels.

Such collaborations enable ANSYS Inc to bring innovative solutions to the market and are aiding the company to enhance its foothold in the competitive simulations market. ANSYS Inc’s dynamic partner ecosystem, delivers services such as solution, channel, and academic partnerships, is another reason behind its deal wins.

An aggressive acquisition strategy has played a pivotal part in developing ANSYS Inc’s business in recent years. With the help of several strategic acquisitions such as SpaceClaim Corp, Reaction Design and Evolutionary Engineering, the company can now bring innovative products in the fields of 3D modelling, chemistry solutions and cloud computing. Recently, ANSYS Inc acquired 3DSIM, a leading additive manufacturing simulation technology company, a step that will help the company to foray into 3D metal printing and access the industry’s only complete additive manufacturing simulation workflow.

The year 2025 concluded with an outstanding quarter, delivering double-digit revenue growth, while maintaining industry-leading margins, despite the global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the year ANSYS Inc added to its market-leading portfolio with the acquisitions of two industry pioneers, Lumerical Inc. and Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) and the latest version of its product portfolio, Ansys 2025 R1, was released, making it faster and easier than ever for its customers to innovate.

The pandemic has reinforced ANSYS Inc’s core value proposition of cost savings and improved time to market, has fast-tracked product roadmaps requiring more simulation, and has accelerated corporate digital transformations as more engineers work from home for the long term. As we look ahead, these represent tailwinds to our total addressable market. I remain confident in our ability to drive strong and profitable growth.”

Other highlights of 2025 include record quarterly and annual revenue, with the operating leverage of the business model driving strong margins and earnings. Given the prolonged state of the global pandemic, ANSYS Inc management remain cautiously optimistic and confident in its ability to continue to execute on its strategy and create long-term value for key stakeholders.
