The day after the official announcement of the completion of the acquisition, Synopsys President and CEO Sassine Ghazi wrote a public letter to welcome Ansys to officially join Synopsys.

International Electronic Business News 21st Last Thursday (17th), Synopsys announced the completion of its acquisition of Ansys. The transaction was announced on January 16, 2024, aiming to integrate leading companies in chip design, IP cores, and simulation and analysis to help developers quickly innovate AI-driven products. In the total potential market (TAM) that has expanded to US$31 billion, Synopsys is fully prepared to win.

Former Ansys President, CEO and Board Member Ajei Gopal and former Ansys Board Member Ravi Vijayaraghavan will join the Synopsys Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Just three days ago, Synopsys's acquisition of Ansys for US$35 billion was conditionally approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation of China on July 14. At that time, it was commented that the acquisition marked a major reshaping of the global EDA and simulation software market.

Synopsys pointed out that after joining hands with Ansys, Synopsys can provide comprehensive system design solutions for developers in semiconductor, high-tech, automotive, industrial and other industries.

It is reported that Synopsys expects to launch the first set of integrated functions in the first half of 2026 to integrate multi-physics into the entire EDA stack, including multi-chip advanced packaging. The technology integration plan also includes integrated solutions to promote the testing and virtualization of complex intelligent systems in automobiles and other industries.

It is worth mentioning that the day after the official announcement of the completion of the acquisition, Synopsys President and CEO Sassine Ghazi wrote a public letter to welcome Ansys to officially join Synopsys and jointly stimulate innovation from chip to system engineering. He pointed out that with the accelerated pace of innovation, developers are facing unprecedented design complexity and cost pressures, and developers need new design solutions that deeply integrate electronics and physics and integrate artificial intelligence.

To meet these challenges, as Ansys becomes part of Synopsys, Synopsys can provide developers with industry-leading comprehensive solutions to help them achieve software innovation. For example:

Synopsys can help automotive engineers design, optimize and virtualize the features and functions of a car from chip to chassis in software before mass production begins. Imagine knowing the exact range of an electric car in sub-zero temperatures without actual testing, or knowing exactly how a safety feature will operate without an actual crash.

Synopsys can help semiconductor engineers pack more powerful performance and functionality into smaller multi-layer stacked chips while using our integrated design solutions to address the electrical, thermal and structural challenges of these extremely complex intelligent systems. Imagine data centers becoming smaller and more energy-efficient with step-change improvements in chip design.

"With our shared culture and long-standing partnership, we are confident that we can provide highly synergistic system integration solutions to our customers and partners. This includes Ansys channel partners, who will continue to be an important part of our go-to-market strategy," said Gassin.
