| About ANSYS, Inc. Solutions ANSYS designs, develops, markets and globally supports engineering simulation solutions that are used to evaluate and support the product development process. Its integrated, open portfolio of tools is flexible enough to fit into any customer's product development process yet powerful enough to drive it. The ANSYS Simulation Driven Product Development vision is to enable customers to optimize designs throughout the product development process, especially in the early stages when changes can be efficiently and cost-effectively implemented. The process can help a business reduce development time, prototype testing and time-to-market — and ultimately help win the race in product innovation. The solutions ANSYS provides in the areas of structural, fluids, chemical, electromagnetic and coupled simulation are adaptable to customer-specific needs. ANSYS tools provide customers strategic advantages by: • Offering time- and cost-saving alternatives to expensive prototype development and experimental efforts • Providing the opportunity to examine and optimize more design alternatives in the product definition and design stages of development • Reducing product development time • Enabling the customer to use simulation in order to optimize and support a product through its entire lifecycle As one of the fastest-growing simulation companies worldwide, ANSYS remains dedicated to offering best-in-class simulation solutions that repeatedly demonstrate success.
