Ansys Enables Access to NVIDIA Omniverse

Ansys, part of Synopsys, and NVIDIA inked an agreement to license, sell, and support Omniverse technology embedded in Ansys simulation solutions.

Via its integration of NVIDIA Omniverse, Ansys plans to enable customer access to Omniverse technologies and libraries, starting with its computational fluid dynamics and autonomous solutions. 

Ansys technology utilizes Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) to integrate with Omniverse technologies, enabling accessible workflows across simulation applications. This leverages Omniverse platform capabilities directly from the Ansys interface.

The agreement ensures interoperability between computer-aided engineering tools, allowing a unified workflow, beneficial for large CFD applications. Visualizing fluid dynamics in physically based digital environments allows engineers to analyze complex datasets intuitively.

Also, the integration empowers engineers with high-fidelity outputs, enabling ability to develop, train, test, and validate autonomous systems, Ansys shares. By automating scenario generation and exploration, it ensures autonomous systems are validated continuously.

“Product development processes are only getting more complex, so modern teams need a virtual environment that allows them to simulate, visualize, iterate, and collaborate,” says Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at 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."

Moreover, PyAnsys, a family of Python packages, enables users to customize and automate simulations within their own applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse. 

"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,” sags Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation at 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."
