(Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, and Network Analysis, Inc. (NAI), a global innovator of thermal simulation software and the developers of the SINDA/G(TM) advanced thermal modeling software, today announced a combined product that integrates the SINDA/G thermal analyzer into the ANSYS(R) Workbench(TM) modeling system.</p> <p>The SINDA/G for ANSYS Workbench plug-in is a transparent integration of SINDA/G into ANSYS Workbench. Of benefit to both beginning thermal modelers and advanced thermal analysts, the transparent integration allows users to utilize advanced thermal features involving convection, surface-to-surface radiation and orbital heating without needing to know the format of SINDA/G or thermal radiation codes. Experienced SINDA/G users no longer will be limited by the simple boundary conditions typically associated with finite element analysis (FEA) thermal codes: They now can experience the full power of SINDA/G within the ANSYS Workbench environment.</p> <p>"ANSYS Workbench is one of the most user-friendly and easy-to-use simulation environments that has ever been created," said Ron Behee, president, Network Analysis, Inc. "Through the cooperation of our two companies, ANSYS users now have access to advanced thermal features found in SINDA/G, and SINDA/G users have a powerful and user-friendly simulation environment."</p> <p>"Collaborating with Network Analysis provides ANSYS Workbench users access to the many unique features of the SINDA/G thermal solver. The interface also provides access to major thermal radiation codes to allow orbital heating effects to be included in their satellite simulations," said Joe Solecki, vice president, mechanical business unit at ANSYS, Inc. "Now satellite models generated in ANSYS Workbench can be solved for transient temperatures during orbit. These temperatures can be used in subsequent thermal/stress predictions. This is one additional step in providing our customers with a complete simulation solution."</p> <p>The mechanical analysis products from ANSYS, Inc. incorporate a graphical modeling environment ideal for producing SINDA/G thermal models. These models have enhanced the concurrent engineering processes by allowing temperatures computed from advanced SINDA/G models to be used by simulation software from ANSYS for thermal stress/distortion computations. Since many thermal engineers already are familiar with the ANSYS Workbench environment, the learning curve for the SINDA/G plug-in is greatly reduced, thus eliminating the need to learn another modeling system.</p> <p>The SINDA/G plug-in has powerful connections to thermal radiation codes such as THERMICA, NEVADA, TRASYS, TSS and NAI's fast new radiation solver SINDARad. Spacecraft thermal models now can be created in the ANSYS Workbench environment, and the orbital thermal environment can be defined by utilizing one of these thermal radiation and orbital heating codes.</p> <p>SINDA/G is a trusted thermal design system. When integrated into an FEA modeler such as the ANSYS Workbench platform, these finite element models are translated into a SINDA/G network thermal model. SINDA/G is stable and can quickly solve large complex nonlinear thermal models involving temperature-dependent thermal properties, radiation and orthotropic material properties.</p> <p>About Network Analysis, Inc.</p> <p>Network Analysis, Inc. (NAI) was founded in 1982 to develop, market and support thermal analysis software.

(Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that ANSYS engineering simulation software assisted the BMW Sauber F1 Team, who has more than double last year's points total in the 2007 Constructors' Championship.</p> <p>Prior to the season, the BMW Sauber F1 Team signed an extended agreement with Fluent Deutschland, a subsidiary of ANSYS, Inc., to use FLUENT(R) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to run powerful engineering simulations on its new supercomputer -- one of the largest in Europe -- rather than invest in a second wind tunnel. This investment in CFD has allowed the team to run increasingly complex simulations of race car aerodynamics, far quicker than was previously possible. This has enabled the BMW Sauber F1 Team to analyze and implement design changes more quickly, which combined with other advances the team has made, has delivered the team's best performance in the Constructors' Championship to date.</p> <p>"The launch of our latest supercomputer was a decisive reinforcement of our CFD capacity. Unlike other teams, we didn't plan to build a second wind tunnel. Instead, we have used the key relationship commitment with ANSYS to continue to develop and exploit the expanding potential for CFD that high- performance computing gives us," explained Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director. He added that wind tunnel testing will continue as an important design element of their F1 racing car design because of validation of results and other areas of car development.</p> <p>"The big difference with CFD compared to wind tunnels is that you not only get results, but also get an understanding of what goes on. Wind tunnel testing remains important with experimental work and CFD complementing each other," Theissen said.</p> <p>To optimize the performance of the FLUENT CFD software, the BMW Sauber F1 Team invested in a custom-built supercomputer called "Albert2," the successor to its original Albert supercomputer developed in 2004. Powered by 512 Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5160 dual core processors, Albert(2) is 5.5 times more powerful and three times faster than the first Albert computer. Albert2 was specifically designed and built to run CFD simulations using the latest version of FLUENT software. It has the capacity to make 12,288,000,000,000 calculations per second, which highlights the staggering pace of advance in the potential power available to perform CFD simulations. Theoretically, the BMW Sauber F1 Team could run simulations approaching and even exceeding the landmark figure of 1 billion cells. When FLUENT became the first CFD software tool to be used in F1 -- by the Benetton team of 1992 -- simulations of only 100,000 cells were possible, such as the analysis of a front wing. The possibility of FLUENT meshes of 1 billion cells or more demonstrates how the continued partnership between the BMW Sauber F1 Team and ANSYS is proving critical to driving CFD development and making the technology ever-more important in the design process.</p> <p>"Working together with the BMW Sauber F1 Team, we are exploring how maximum benefit can be yielded in aerodynamic design," said Ferit Boysan, vice president and general manager at ANSYS, Inc. "Relationships such as this are genuinely pioneering the engineering simulation possibilities of the future, and they could well have implications far beyond F1 racing. We are working at the leading edge of the technology, with the exciting thing being that we don't even know what the limits are yet."</p> <p>Computer-aided engineering and CFD simulations can be applied to many areas of the racing car, allowing team engineers to quickly and accurately test a number of design candidates before developing only the most promising for wind tunnel testing. The new compute power offered by the Albert2 supercomputer allows full-car simulations in addition to the aerodynamic testing of components such as the front and rear wings, turning vanes, brake ducts, fuel tanks and more.</p> <p>For downloadable, high-resolution images, visit <a href="http://www.ansys.com/newsimages" rel="nofollow">http://www.ansys.com/newsimages</a>.</p> <p>About the BMW Sauber F1 Team</p> <p>The BMW Sauber F1 Team is a Formula One racing team with bases in Munich, Germany and Hinwil, Switzerland.

(Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that they have collaborated to address the need for improved CAD and CAE interoperability. The combined solution makes it possible for analysts to simplify the master CAD model, independent of the originating CAD system, for faster pre-processing, and to optimize the design based on analysis results. By combining SpaceClaim Professional 2007 software with engineering simulation solutions from ANSYS, the analyst is no longer dependent on the designer to produce specialized models for analysis. This solution promotes faster cycle times and facilitates additional analysis iterations, which can result in higher quality products.</p> <p>"ANSYS has, from the start, been committed to providing open and flexible solutions that enable design models of all types to be imported and analyzed," said Chris Reid, Vice President, Marketing at ANSYS, Inc. "The ability to work with these models is paramount to design optimization. But in cases in which the analyst is unfamiliar with the CAD system or how the model was built, it can be difficult to make the necessary changes. SpaceClaim strengthens our CAD-neutral strategy through its ability to open and modify models from all of the leading CAD systems and industry-standard formats. Now the results of analysis can be incorporated immediately into the design model. SpaceClaim makes the collaboration between designers and analysts more efficient, resulting in faster time-to-market for our customers."</p> <p>The joint solution supports the import of CAD models into SpaceClaim for model simplification and modification by the analyst. The model then can be set up and solved using the powerful simulation tools from ANSYS. The analyst can modify the design based on the results and rerun as often as necessary, returning validated design options to the designer.</p> <p>Alternatively, the analyst can choose to automatically drive design optimization by letting the results of the analysis drive key design parameters of the model. SpaceClaim enables a related set of geometry to be associated and modified together at any time. The associated geometry behaves without regard to the constraints of the design model, so modifications have the expected results. This approach is ideal for design optimization because driving parameters can be created whenever and wherever necessary, rather than predicted and parameterized at the beginning of the design process when they are unknown. The automated design optimization solution is on demonstration at the National Manufacturing Week show in Rosemont, Illinois.</p> <p>"Our collaboration with ANSYS helps companies extend the benefits of working in 3D to a broader group of engineering professionals. Our breakthrough CAD-neutral solution enables them to maintain focus on their core competency while improving their ability to achieve design optimization more quickly," commented Michael McGuinness, COO of SpaceClaim Corp. "We believe the collaboration between ANSYS and SpaceClaim typifies our commitment to addressing the needs of the extended development team."</p> <p>ANSYS integration is a separately priced add-on module scheduled for November availability.</p> <p>Upcoming Events</p> <p>SpaceClaim (booth 3911) and ANSYS, Inc. (booth 4106) are demonstrating SpaceClaim Professional 2007 and engineering simulation software from ANSYS this week at National Manufacturing Week in Rosemont, Illinois.</p> <p>SpaceClaim Professional 2007 is available through resellers world-wide and for purchase and download from the company’s web site, <a href="http://www.spaceclaim.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.spaceclaim.com</a>.</p> <p>About ANSYS, Inc.</p> <p>ANSYS, Inc., founded in 1970, develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and technologies widely used by engineers and designers across a broad spectrum of industries.

(Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that it is the second-ranked company on Baseline magazine's list of 40 Fastest-Growing Software Companies. ANSYS was the only computer-aided engineering (CAE) software company that made the list.</p> <p>According to the Baseline report, the median revenue growth among all 49 qualifying companies was 13 percent. In 2006, aided by the Fluent Inc. acquisition, ANSYS revenue jumped more than 66 percent. The Baseline report also indicated that the biggest public software companies are increasingly relying on acquisitions for growth. "Some established companies regard their acquisitions as another way of doing R&#38;D of continuing to offer innovative products to a customer base that may be happy to consolidate vendors but doesn't want the pipeline of new ideas to dry up," the report noted.</p> <p>"We are pleased to be named as one of the top Fastest-Growing Software Companies as well as the only CAE company on Baseline's list," said Jim Cashman, president and chief executive officer at ANSYS, Inc. "This recognition is a testament to our industry leadership and an illustration of our strategy in action. Our 2006 record revenue results are indicative of solid growth within our core business complemented by the positive impact of the Fluent acquisition, which enabled the Company to gain scale that dramatically enhanced our overall product and service portfolio as well as our global reach. In addition to growing our business substantially over the past few years, we remain committed to invest in the future of the Company, further strengthening our ability to deliver the industry's most comprehensive and advanced simulation solutions."</p> <p>Baseline's survey amounts to a health check on the enterprise software industry. The magazine (www.baselinemag.com) is a practical guide to costing and managing the deployment of leading-edge information technology. Case studies and other articles discuss how the success -- or failure -- of technology implementation is measured by a company's actual progress against "baseline" expectations of financial returns and technology deliverables.</p> <p>About ANSYS, Inc.</p> <p>ANSYS, Inc., founded in 1970, develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and technologies widely used by engineers and designers across a broad spectrum of industries.
