Ansys, part of Synopsys, has signed an agreement with NVIDIA to license, sell, and support Omniverse technology embedded in Ansys simulation solutions. Through its integration of NVIDIA Omnierse, Ansys will provide easy access to Omniverse technologies and libraries to its customers, beginning with its CFD and autonomous solutions.
Ansys technology utilises Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) to integrate easily with Omniverse technologies, enabling accessible, smooth workflows across diverse simulation applications. By leveraging Omniverse platform capabilities directly from the Ansys interface, teams are able to innovate faster, address challenges head-on, and achieve research breakthroughs.
The agreement ensures inteoperability between diverse computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, enabling a unified and efficient workflow, crucial to large CFD applications. Visualising fluid dynamics in physically based digital environments allows engineers to analyse complex datasets more intuitively, resulting in smarter, faster design optimisation for even the most challenging engineering tasks.
The integration also empowers engineers with high-fidelity outputs, making it easier to develop, train, test, and validate autonomous systems with more speed and confidence. By automating scenario generation and exploration, it ensures these autonomous systems are continuously validated for safety, precision, efficiency, and reliability.
“Product development processes are only getting more complex, so modern teams need a virtual environment that allows them to simulate, visualize, iterate, and collaborate,” said Walt Hearn, Senior Vice President of worldwide sales and customer excellence, Synopsys. “By integrating advanced Omniverse technologies and libraries, our customers drive innovation in simulation-led workflows, empowering teams to achieve greater efficiency, performance, and scalability.”
PyAnsys, a family of Python packages, allows users to customise and automate simulations within their own applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse. One example highlighting this joint work with NVIDIA is PyAnsys-Heart, a digital twin of the human heart that unlocks transformative simulation insights through an intuitive speech-to-text interface requiring minimal engineering expertise.
“To address the complexity of modern engineering challenges, industries require precise physical AI models, highly accurate digital twins, accessible high-resolution simulation tools, and physics-accurate virtual environments to solve real-world problems and enable reliable performance predictions,” added Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and simulation, NVIDIA. “Combining the predictive power of Ansys solvers with NVIDIA simulation technologies and libraries is a turning point for industries striving to simulate reality with precision.”
