PITTSBURGH, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS
(NASDAQ: ANSS), the global leader and innovator of engineering
simulation software, announced today that it has acquired
Berlin-based KPIT medini
Technologies AG, a leading provider of systems safety analysis
solutions.
As products – from mobile phones to automobiles – become smarter
and more complex, the need to simulate the entire system, and not
just its components, is increasing rapidly. That added complexity
provides new ways for products to fail, making systems safety and
reliability analysis more critical than ever.
Medini develops and markets solutions for systems safety
analysis, reliability engineering and quality management. Its
flagship solution, medini™ analyze, implements core
functional safety analysis activities and integrates them with
customers' existing engineering workflows. Medini analyze provides
wide support, including at the concept, system, software and
hardware levels.
A combined ANSYS-medini solution enables companies to have one
system simulation solution for the entire product development
cycle. This will allow companies to more effectively manage their
system engineering processes, as well as to perform in-depth
sub-system and component engineering development in a single
comprehensive platform – achieving functional safety, reliability
and quality targets faster and more cost-effectively.
"With trends like autonomous vehicles and the Internet of
Things, innovation has never been more important for companies,
regardless of their industry. But system complexity can be a
barrier to innovation for some organizations," said Jim Cashman, ANSYS CEO. "That's why we're
excited about the systems functional safety capabilities medini
adds to the broad ANSYS portfolio. Our combined solution will spark
innovation in a variety of industries."
"This unique combination will help us to extend our reach into
other sectors, including aircraft and energy, where ANSYS is
strong," said Olaf Kath, co-founder
and CEO of medini. "And we will be able to work with our existing
customers in the automotive industry to reduce their reliance on
costly physical testing and streamline system engineering
processes, while also improving the speed and success of their
product development efforts."
"We are very happy about synergy in the tools strategy for
medini and ANSYS," said KPIT CEO Kishor
Patil, "KPIT will continue to focus on functional safety
services and be a long-term strategic partner to medini and
ANSYS."
