SUNNYVALE, CA, July 21, 2025 – Synopsys has completed its acquisition of Ansys, combining strengths in silicon design, IP development, and multiphysics simulation. This move brings together two engineering software companies to address the demand for AI-powered product development across complex, intelligent systems. By integrating simulation with the electronic design automation (EDA) stack, the company expands its reach into a $31 billion Total Addressable Market (TAM)1, with a focus on delivering system-level design tools for industries including semiconductors, automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
“Today marks a transformational milestone for Synopsys. For decades, Synopsys has been delivering breakthroughs in silicon design and IP that have fueled chip innovation,” said president and CEO of Synopsys, Sassine Ghazi. “The increasing complexity of developing intelligent systems demands design solutions with a deeper integration of electronics and physics, enhanced by AI. With Ansys’ leading system simulation and analysis solutions now part of Synopsys, we can maximize the capabilities of engineering teams broadly, igniting their innovation from silicon to systems.”
Former Ansys president, CEO, and board member Ajei Gopal and former Ansys board member Ravi Vijayaraghavan are joining Synopsys’ board of directors.
“For half a century, Ansys has enabled innovators across industries to push boundaries with the predictive power of simulation and analysis,” said Gopal. “Our companies have a common culture, a successful longstanding partnership, and now a united mission to empower innovators to drive human advancement. I look forward to serving this mission as a member of the Synopsys board and expect a swift, successful integration.”
Synopsys provides engineers with tools to support product innovation, shorten development cycles, and manage costs while improving product quality through performance insights.
Synopsys plans to release its first set of integrated capabilities in the first half of 2026, combining multiphysics across the EDA stack, including support for multi-die advanced packaging. The roadmap also includes integrated solutions for testing and virtualization of complex systems in automotive and related industries.
