ANSYS (ANSS) & Altium to Improve Electronic Design Workflow

ANSYS ANSS and Altium have joined forces to enhance the process of electronic design and development. The partnership will involve connecting Ansys Electronics Desktop with Altium's electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) tools to create a higher level of digital continuity and improve efficiency. The integration is expected to be available in the second half of 2023.

The partnership between the two companies will enable seamless collaboration between engineers and improve the exchange of design data. This eliminates the need for manual translation and enhances predictive accuracy, synchronization and productivity. The partnership will help minimize delays and costly design respins as well as reduce the risk of errors.

The partnership aims to address engineering challenges and product intricacies requiring collaboration between domains and advanced simulations. The digital connection between ECAD and simulation will allow electrical engineers and simulation engineers to work more efficiently.
