/PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) has earned an award celebrating unique tools that improve and
simplify the electronic design process.

ANSYS won the DesignCon 2014 DesignVision Award for the
Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Tools category for ANSYS
PathFinder-D technology. A comprehensive layout-based
electro-static discharge (ESD) integrity solution, PathFinder is
critical to custom IC designers because it helps identify weak
areas of the design in layout or circuit that could potentially
cause ESD failures.
Historically, electronic components have often experienced ESD
failures, or electrical shorts. However, these failures are
becoming more frequent due to the rise in use of smart devices,
shrinking geometries, higher levels of digital and analog
integration and advanced electronic package designs. So the
advanced technology to address these phenomena is becoming
increasingly valuable.
"It's with great pride that ANSYS accepts recognition from
DesignCon for the third consecutive year," said Norman Chang, vice president and senior product
strategist at ANSYS subsidiary Apache. "As electronics products
become smaller and smarter, ensuring design reliability has become
increasingly challenging. This DesignVision award further
underscores our commitment to providing best-in-class technology to
our customers and the electronics industry."
DesignVision award winners were selected based on three
criteria: how well the product met the market's vision and offered
unique insight into customer needs; the originality of the solution
and if it offered a new approach to meeting market needs; and the
quality of the implementation and how well it fits the market
requirements.
