PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk,
Inc. and ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) today announced the
next step in a partnership that will allow seamless
interoperability across ANSYS and Autodesk products to drive
revolutionary design and engineering agility for our customers.The
collaboration connects Autodesk® Fusion 360®,
integrated design and manufacturing software, with world-class
ANSYS® Mechanical™ simulation solutions to expedite
products to market.
The collaboration breaks down silos in the product development
process by driving a best-in-breed, connected and interoperable
designer-to-analyst workflow. As engineers leverage Fusion 360,
their results are automatically available in ANSYS Mechanical for
further refinement and validation. This open system workflow
significantly improves efficiency in existing manual processes and
can be combined to enhance new automated processes, like generative
design, accelerating time to market and enabling multiple
engineering teams to work effortlessly together.
Companies across industries are aligning with powerful ecosystem
partners, sharing complimentary capabilities to meet challenging
product innovation requirements. This has created a tectonic shift
in these companies' manufacturing processes, eliminating barriers
between designers and analysts to simplify product development. As
designers and analysts benefit from open and seamless workflow
interoperability and utilize best-in-class engineering tools,
companies are improving efficiency, cutting costs, fast-tracking
innovation and speeding production.
"At Cornell University, we are
educating and training the next generation of world-class engineers
— our students will someday revolutionize industries," said
Lance Collins, dean of engineering
at Cornell University. "We use both
ANSYS and Autodesk solutions in our classrooms and are thrilled to
see the two companies collaborating. Beyond discovering both
products, our students will learn to use them together to achieve
stronger results and – ultimately – innovate faster."
This new announcement builds on a previously announced
relationship between Autodesk and ANSYS to create a connected
workflow for automotive companies that combines Autodesk's VRED
automotive 3D visualization and virtual prototyping software with
ANSYS' physics-based lighting simulation solutions. This enables
automakers to enhance ultra-realistic visualizations of vehicle
interiors and exteriors with highly accurate lighting simulation —
significantly improving visual design review.
"Our relationship with ANSYS connects our two companies'
complementary technologies and skills to strengthen our joint value
proposition, drive expansion across more value chains and unlock
tremendous value for customers," said Greg
Fallon, vice president of business strategy and marketing at
Autodesk. "As designers utilize Fusion 360, their results are
seamlessly processed with ANSYS' interoperable, state-of-the-art
simulation solutions. This new way of distributing synergistic
capabilities across the designer-to-analyst workflow pushes
customers' manufacturing process boundaries — significantly
advancing the innovation of next-generation products."
"Product ideation and quality is a team sport which can be
hampered by engineering silos," said Shane Emswiler, senior
vice president and general manager at ANSYS. "This partnership
with Autodesk dramatically improves workflows between our tools to
benefit our joint customers. We look forward to helping designers
and analysts deliver greatly improved product performance, enhance
efficiency and increase sustainability."
