PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Ansys is teaming with Microsoft to deploy public cloud
high-performance computing (HPC) and digital twin solutions that
will significantly advance the state of the art in engineering
simulation across several key industries
- The integration of Ansys' simulation solutions with Microsoft
Azure cloud, HPC, digital twin and IoT services helps customers
increase productivity, cut development costs and speed time to
market
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) is teaming with Microsoft to advance the
state of the art in engineering simulation across industries,
including industrial manufacturing and automotive. Integrated with
Microsoft Azure cloud, HPC, digital twin and IoT services, Ansys'
solutions will empower customers to swiftly solve some of the most
challenging engineering problems imaginable — substantially
increasing productivity, cutting development costs and expediting
time to market.
Ansys® Cloud™, the underlying platform for
running Ansys products in the cloud, integrates Azure cloud and HPC
services with Ansys flagship simulation technologies. Since its
initial release, Ansys Cloud continues to add powerful new
capabilities. Supporting more physics-based solvers than ever, the
new features will enable customers to use their existing software
licenses and reduce modeling run times by increasing cores per job.
Additionally, the features will deliver tremendous
price-performance improvements and incorporate customers' existing
Azure contracts. This will make it easier for larger organizations
that have traditionally leveraged on-premises HPC to migrate to
Ansys Cloud — equipping teams with extra capacity during peak
usage.
"As a strategic partner and customer of both Microsoft and
Ansys, our engineering teams will accelerate their product
development processes with these dynamic new cloud capabilities,"
said Scot Tutkovics, vice president,
engineering operations, Rockwell Automation. "Adding Ansys Cloud to
our existing technology infrastructure sped up our simulations by
50% and we have solved larger problems with more accuracy.
Together, we are boosting engineering productivity and driving
top-line impact, even while our engineers work from
home."
Additionally, Ansys is working with Microsoft to integrate
Microsoft Azure Digital Twins with Ansys® Twin
Builder™ to help customers better understand the
current and future performance of operational assets. Employing
physics and simulation-based analytics, users can markedly enhance
operations — decreasing product maintenance costs and expediting
next-generation products to market. Ansys' runtime digital twins
will be natively represented in Azure Digital Twins. Feedback from
early adopters across several industries is positive and Ansys and
Microsoft engineers are working closely together to power the
program's success.
Ansys is also collaborating with Microsoft to offer
cloud-enabled autonomous vehicle (AV) simulation capabilities to
joint customers. Ansys VRXPERIENCE, an AV virtual test
platform, can unlock massive scalability when run on Azure,
empowering users to test drive millions of virtual miles across
countless scenarios in an expedient manner — greatly optimizing
safety and development costs. The platform's general availability
is planned for January 2021 and Ansys
is exploring joint go-to-market opportunities with Microsoft.
"The rise of scalable, affordable, high-powered public cloud
computing and IoT breakthroughs runs in parallel with our
customers' view of simulation as a strategic differentiator," said
Ajei S. Gopal, CEO at Ansys. "Bringing these elements together can
significantly boost the impact and reach of simulation and equip
Ansys' vast user community to rapidly design and deliver
transformational products on time and under budget."
"Our collaboration brings together Azure's compute and IoT
capabilities with Ansys' simulation excellence to help businesses
across industries transform at scale," said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president, Cloud +
AI at Microsoft. "During a time when autonomous systems are on the
rise, Ansys will enable cloud engineers to increase productivity
and accelerate the delivery of innovative solutions."
