Insights
The strategic alliance between Ansys and NVIDIA is set to make significant waves across various industries, particularly those that are heavily reliant on simulation and modeling, such as automotive, aerospace and electronics. The integration of NVIDIA's advanced GPUs and AI technologies with Ansys's simulation solutions is poised to shorten product development cycles, which is critical for companies looking to maintain a competitive edge in fast-paced markets. By accelerating simulations and integrating AI, the collaboration could lead to more rapid prototyping, testing and time-to-market for new products.
From a market perspective, this partnership is likely to enhance Ansys's product offerings, potentially increasing its market share and customer base. For NVIDIA, the collaboration serves as an expansion into new application areas for its GPUs and AI technologies, potentially diversifying its revenue streams. Investors in both companies should monitor the adoption rate of these enhanced simulation tools and the impact on financial performance in the medium to long term.
The announcement highlights the convergence of accelerated computing and generative AI as a driving force in the innovation of simulation technologies. Leveraging NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs and Grace Hopper Superchips allows Ansys to scale its solutions, which could lead to significant performance improvements in complex simulations such as those required for autonomous vehicle development and digital twin creation. The use of AI to enhance simulation accuracy and efficiency could also be a game-changer, enabling more predictive and adaptive models.
Moreover, the focus on 6G telecommunications indicates a forward-looking approach, preparing for the next generation of wireless technology. The Perceive EM solver's ability to create high-fidelity digital twins for 6G systems could play a pivotal role in the development of future communication networks, potentially impacting a wide range of IoT and smart city applications. This technological leap could provide Ansys with a first-mover advantage in the 6G simulation space.
The financial implications for both Ansys and NVIDIA are multifaceted, with potential for revenue growth driven by increased demand for more sophisticated simulation tools. The collaboration could lead to cost savings for customers by reducing the time and resources needed for product development, which may translate into higher sales volumes for Ansys's solutions. NVIDIA's expansion into simulation applications could also lead to a broader customer base beyond its traditional gaming and data center markets.
Investors should consider the R&D expenses associated with this collaboration and the timeframe for realizing a return on investment. While the upfront costs may be substantial, the long-term benefits of maintaining technological leadership could outweigh these initial expenditures. It will be important to track the progress of the collaboration, including any new product releases and customer adoption rates, as these will be critical indicators of the partnership's success and its impact on both companies' financial health.
Expanded collaboration will drive the future of simulation powered by accelerated computing and generative AI
/ Key Highlights
- Ansys will collaborate with NVIDIA on accelerated computing, advancing 6G communication systems, artificial intelligence (AI)-infused simulation solutions, autonomous vehicles, digital twins, enhanced graphics, and visual rendering
- Ansys joins the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) to foster data interoperability of 3D content in products across the Ansys portfolio
- NVIDIA will expand its use of Ansys solutions to optimize hardware while Ansys will use NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Hopper architecture-based GPUs and GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips to scale up and accelerate existing solutions
Ansys recently joined the AOUSD to strengthen data interoperability and deliver enhanced graphics and visual rendering to its portfolio. Ansys has already connected Ansys AVxcelerate Autonomy™ to NVIDIA DRIVE Sim powered by the NVIDIA Omniverse platform, and plans to investigate additional integrations across the portfolio, including Ansys STK™, Ansys LS-DYNA™, Ansys Fluent™, and Ansys Perceive EM. This seamless interoperability will empower users to tackle a wide range of challenges, from factory-level to planetary-level simulations.
In addition to Omniverse integrations, the collaboration will prioritize advancements in four areas:
- Accelerated Computing: Ansys, working with NVIDIA, is enabling customers across industries to shorten design cycles and deliver increasingly complex products by advancing numerics research in high-performance computing. Ansys harnesses NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs to boost multiple simulation solutions and prioritizes NVIDIA Blackwell-based processors and NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips for products across the Ansys portfolio, including Ansys Fluent, Ansys LS-Dyna, and Ansys electronics and semiconductor products. Simultaneously, NVIDIA leverages Ansys technology, including semiconductor tools, to enrich virtual models and data center design, ultimately leading to accelerated Ansys solver performance.
- 6G Telecommunications: Ansys is among the first adopters of the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform, allowing researchers a comprehensive suite to advance AI for radio access network (RAN) technology. Ansys Perceive EM, a new solver powered by Ansys HFSS™, builds on NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud, which is designed to speed the development of 6G technologies. Perceive EM's synthetic data-on-demand revolutionizes 6G system digital twins with elevated predictive accuracy, capable of assessing how real-world conditions impact wireless network performance. Perceive EM will also be available within the Ansys Academic and Ansys Startup Programs, which have reached 2,900+ universities and 2,100+ startups, respectively.
- AI-Enhanced Simulation: Ansys is exploring the NVIDIA Modulus framework for physics-based machine learning to further boost its software offerings with the latest AI techniques. The work aims to deliver enhanced functionality within the Ansys AI+ product family, such as more efficient optimization, sensitivity analyses, and robust designs.
- AI Foundry: Ansys is examining the adoption of NVIDIA AI foundry to advance LLM development, furthering the democratization of simulation by simplifying setup and use. Future LLMs tailored to Ansys solutions offer the potential to provide expert virtual assistance that will open the door to new users and create new simulation use cases. Ansys intends to leverage the NVIDIA NeMo platform, which offers a set of tools that make it easier, more cost-effective, and faster to develop generative AI capabilities.
"We are excited to extend our collaboration with NVIDIA to enable a new frontier of generative AI and accelerated computing," said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO at Ansys. "Within the dynamic realm of NVIDIA Omniverse, our visionary customers can propel innovation, bridging virtual and physical realities to shape tomorrow's technologies and help solve the most pressing engineering challenges of our time."
"Everything manufactured will have digital twins — and the world's designers and engineers in heavy industry markets rely on Ansys as their simulation engine," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "We're collaborating with Ansys to bring accelerated computing and generative AI to these massive workloads, and to extend Ansys' leading physics simulation tools with NVIDIA Omniverse digitalization technologies."
