Synopsys Inc. today said it will acquire Ansys Inc. for about $35 billion to combine Ansys’ simulation and analysis portfolio with its semiconductor electronic design automation, or EDA. The companies claimed this will “create a leader in silicon to systems design solutions.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe megatrends of AI, silicon proliferation, and software-defined systems are requiring more compute performance and efficiency in the face of growing, systemic complexity,” said Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys, in a release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Bringing together Synopsys’ industry-leading EDA solutions with Ansys\u2019 world-class simulation and analysis capabilities will enable us to deliver a holistic, powerful, and seamlessly integrated silicon-to-systems approach to innovation to help maximize the capabilities of technology R&D teams across a broad range of industries.” he added. \u201cThis is the logical next step for our successful, seven-year partnership with Ansys.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Synopsys provides tools and services for electronic design automation (EDA<\/a>), semiconductor intellectual property (IP) integration, application security<\/a>, and quality testing. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based S&P 500 company<\/a> claimed that its technologies enable innovations including autonomous vehicles, smart machines, and high-quality code and communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 50 years, Ansys has enabled customers to design, develop, and deliver cutting-edge products that are limited only by imagination,\u201d stated<\/a> Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of Ansys. “This transformative combination brings together each company\u2019s highly complementary capabilities to meet the evolving needs of today\u2019s engineers and give them unprecedented insight into the performance of their products.”<\/p>\n

“The combined company will accelerate the development of our joint portfolio and deliver an increased level of innovation, which will benefit Ansys\u2019 traditional customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Canonsburg, Pa.-based Ansys<\/a> said its simulation software helps predict the performance of systems ranging from advanced semiconductors to sustainable transportation, satellite systems, and medical devices. It recently partnered<\/a> with NVIDIA to test sensors for autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n

“At least once a year since 2000, Ansys has acquired and\/or announced a major technology sharing partnership with another company,” wrote<\/a> Shawn Wasserman, a former Ansys employee, on Engineering.com<\/em>, a sibling site to The Robot Report<\/em><\/a>. “Today, however, the script has been flipped.”<\/p>\n
