PITTSBURGH, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS), the global leader and innovator of engineering simulation
software, announced today that it has acquired substantially all
the assets of DfR Solutions, the developer of Sherlock, the
industry's only automated design reliability analysis software.
ANSYS' comprehensive multiphysics solutions, combined with
Sherlock's accurate reliability analyses, will provide a complete
designer-level toolkit enabling customers to quickly and easily
analyze for electronics failure earlier in the design cycle –
saving users time and money during the development process.
Companies are under continued pressure to develop groundbreaking
products as advances in autonomous driving, electrification and
internet of things continue to accelerate – increasing design
complexity and making it more difficult to guarantee the
reliability of electronic components and systems. Sherlock provides
customers with a turnkey solution that seamlessly imports from ECAD
and leverages embedded part libraries to enable engineers to
rapidly build and analyze 3D models of electronic assemblies.
Engineers can then subject their products to several environmental
stresses, including temperature and power cycling, harmonic
vibration, mechanical shock and bending, to help ensure
manufacturability and maximize the life of a product.
Headquartered in Beltsville,
Maryland, DfR Solutions has customers across a range of
electronic technology markets and industries – including avionics
and aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial,
medical, defense and telecommunications – that rely on Sherlock to
address their product challenges.
"As electronics proliferates in nearly every industry,
electronics reliability becomes a key challenge, requiring
companies to perform analysis earlier in the design cycles," said
Shane Emswiler, vice president and
general manager, ANSYS. "This acquisition will give customers the
ability to push electronics reliability analysis earlier in their
design cycles – saving significant costs on testing and
accelerating product design."
"We're incredibly excited to become part of the ANSYS family,"
said Craig Hillman, CEO, DfR
Solutions. "ANSYS and DfR Solutions share a vision of democratizing
the process of electronics design by bringing powerful, analytical
tools to every engineer involved in electronic hardware. ANSYS
brings industry-leading electronic simulation capabilities while
DfR's Sherlock extends the value of simulation by clearly
quantifying the real-world cost of design and material selection
decisions. This acquisition brings the entire design workflow, from
functional block to change management, to the customers of both
organizations."
