Ansys, Amazon Web Services partner for virtual tools

Pittsburgh area-based Ansys, an engineering simulation company, recently entered into a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The partnership will enable the deployment of Ansys products on AWS.

“Cloud computing accelerates and expands simulation by removing hardware barriers and computer restrictions, streamlining all processes and workflows,” Shane Emswiler, Ansys senior vice president of products, said. “By leveraging Ansys Gateway powered by AWS, customers will have a stronger, three-layered approach to boost their innovation and efficiency by doing more simulations, faster, and with more flexibility on AWS.”

Ansys Gateway offers highly scalable engineering simulations.

AWS customers will have access to Ansys Gateway through the AWS Marketplace. This will allow customers to access their existing Ansys software applications, pay for cloud resources only when they are being used, and connect Ansys software with third-party applications with minimal technical skills.

Customers will manage and advance their complete simulation solutions, computer-aided engineering, computer-aided design, advance electronic design automation, and high-performance computing all in one online platform.

Cloud computing allows users to maintain full control of their data throughout all projects and the ability to deploy target platforms in minutes anywhere in the world.

AWS products include computing, storage, the internet of things, and Digital Twin.
