Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025
In this Special Issue, Digital Engineering presents its second annual guide to design and simulation software vendors.
Ansys announced at NVIDIA GTC 2025 that it will offer advanced data processing and visualization capabilities, powered by integrations with NVIDIA Omniverse within select products, starting with Fluent and AVxcelerate Sensors. These integrations will streamline simulation processes by automating manual data preparation and enabling high-fidelity models for deeper insights.
By leveraging Omniverse technologies, Ansys software facilitates interoperability, scalability and modularity of 3D scene data within an open ecosystem. Integrating Omniverse technologies with Ansys products will enable customers to prepare simulation data. Ansys users can render immersive, photorealistic models within the Ansys interface, supporting real-time collaboration. PyAnsys, a family of Python packages that enable users to interact with Ansys products, automatically formats simulation data so simulation practitioners and developers can customize and automate simulations inside their own applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse.
For example, Astec Industries, a manufacturer of specialized equipment for asphalt road building, aggregate processing and concrete production, uses Ansys to design and optimize asphalt drum dryers and hydrogen burners.
“The integration of Omniverse technologies within Fluent allows us to visualize complex physics simulations that give us and our customers intuitive insight into how our equipment operates in stunning detail,” says Dr. Andrew Hobbs, director of advanced technologies at Astec Industries.
“Modern digital engineering increasingly relies on technology compatibility to design intuitive, efficient, and innovative products,” says Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. “By continuing to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA, we’re empowering our customers to bring their simulations to life and obtain insights that could’ve otherwise not been possible to obtain."
“Combining the power of Omniverse’s visualization capabilities with the predictive accuracy of Ansys products creates a powerful digital engineering environment that will expand access to simulation insight,” says Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation at NVIDIA.

Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
