Ansys are integrating NVIDIA Omniverse directly into its products, starting with autonomy and computational fluid dynamics solutions
Ansys, part of Synopsys, and NVIDIA have signed an agreement to license, sell, and support Omniverse technology embedded in Ansys simulation solutions
By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse, Ansys can deliver access to Omniverse technologies and libraries to customers, beginning with its CFD and autonomous solutions.
The collaboration will spark progress that empowers transformative solutions by expanding insights into aerodynamics, advancing autonomous vehicle safety and 6G connectivity.
To integrate seamlessly with Omniverse technologies, Ansys are utilising Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD), allowing for accessible, smooth workflows across diverse simulation applications.
Leveraging Omniverse platform capabilities direct from the Ansys interface means teams can innovate faster, tackle challenges head-on and create breakthroughs in their research.
The agreement ensures seamless interoperability between computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, enabling a unified, efficient workflow which is critical to large CFD applications.
By visualising fluid dynamics in physically based digital environments, engineers can analyse complex datasets more intuitively.
The integration will also empower engineers with high-fidelity outputs, making it easier to develop, train, test, and validate autonomous systems.
Automating scenario generation and exploration ensures these autonomous systems are continuously validated for safety, precision, efficiency, and reliability.
Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at Synopsys, said: “Product development processes are only getting more complex, so modern teams need a virtual environment that allows them to simulate, visualise, iterate, and collaborate, by integrating advanced Omniverse technologies and libraries, our customers drive innovation in simulation-led workflows, empowering teams to achieve greater efficiency, performance, and scalability."
PyAnsys, a family of Python packages, enables users to customise and automate simulations within their applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse. One example highlighting this joint work with NVIDIA is PyAnsys-Heart, a digital twin of the human heart that unlocks transformative simulation insights through an intuitive speech-to-text interface requiring minimal engineering expertise.
"To address the complexity of modern engineering challenges, industries require precise physical AI models, highly accurate digital twins, accessible high-resolution simulation tools, and physics-accurate virtual environments to solve real-world problems and enable reliable performance predictions,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation at NVIDIA.
He added: "Combining the predictive power of Ansys solvers with NVIDIA simulation technologies and libraries is a turning point for industries striving to simulate reality with precision."
