Ansys完成对Ansoft的收购,Ansoft相关产品不更名,继续开发,Ansoft会作为Ansys一个独立的子公司运作。 AcquistionsANSOFT CORPORATION As of July 31, 2008, Ansoft is now part of the ANSYS, Inc. family, broadening our capabilities as a global innovator of simulation software. ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), has completed its acquisition of Ansoft Corporation, a leading developer of high-performance EDA software. The addition of Ansoft enhances the breadth, functionality, usability and interoperability of the ANSYS portfolio of engineering simulation solutions, reaffirming and strengthening the ANSYS commitment to open interface and flexible simulation solutions that are primarily driven by customer demand, flexibility and choice. As a leading developer of electronic design automation (EDA) software, Ansoft’s technology, based on more than 25 years of research and development from the world's leading experts in electromagnetics, circuit, and system simulation, dramatically streamlines the design of high-performance electronic products. The complementary combination of Ansoft's and ANSYS' software products and services will give ANSYS one of the most complete, independent engineering simulation software offerings in the industry, accelerating our progress towards delivering comprehensive, customer-driven engineering simulation solutions to the marketplace. ANSYS, Inc., founded in 1970, develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and technologies widely used by engineers and designers across a broad spectrum of industries. ANSYS focuses on the development of open and flexible solutions that enable users to analyze designs directly on the desktop, providing a common platform for fast, efficient and cost-conscious product development, from design concept to final-stage testing and validation. ANSYS and its global network of channel partners provide sales, support and training for customers. Headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., with more than 60 strategic sales locations throughout the world, ANSYS and its subsidiaries employ approximately 1,700 people and distribute ANSYS products through a network of channel partners in over 40 countries.

Dear Customer, Earlier this year on March 31st, you received a communication from me, or from Nick Csendes and Dr. Zol Cendes of Ansoft Corporation, expressing our collective excitement in bringing two world class engineering simulation companies together as one. I’m pleased to tell you today that this has been successfully accomplished – ANSYS, Inc. and Ansoft Corporation are now one! This is a very exciting day for us at ANSYS, and we believe also for you, as a loyal customer of ours. Our vision of Simulation Driven Product DevelopmentTM is advanced significantly by the addition of the Ansoft people and products. Ansoft is a world leader in developing and delivering engineering simulation solutions for electronics applications across a broad range of industries. Their impressive and complementary technologies are a tremendous addition to the ANSYS portfolio of simulation software tools. Now that the acquisition has closed, we will immediately turn our attention to maximizing the combined value of two strong companies. In all cases, we will focus on the best-practices available -- functionally, geographically, technically, and with you in mind. Of immediate benefit will be the opportunity for tight coupling between ANSYS® WorkbenchTM-based products, such as ANSYS Mechanical, CFD and Multiphysics, and the current array of Ansoft electronics solutions. We have continued to integrate across our entire existing product portfolio consistent with our strategy and vision. The benefits of this strategy to our customers and the engineering simulation industry have been real and very measurable in terms of increased innovation, productivity, efficiency and lower costs. We fully expect to deliver the same benefit potential to our new, expanded customer eco-system. We can’t wait to get started on this great opportunity, and begin to realize the promise offered by the combination of our two companies. I sincerely hope that you share our enthusiasm. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this with you firsthand, so please do not hesitate to contact your local ANSYS/Ansoft regional sales manager if you have any questions. I also encourage you to attend our International Conference in Pittsburgh on August 26-28th, where the theme is “Inspiring Engineering”. At this signature event for ANSYS, and the first to include Ansoft, you will see and hear much more about our integration plans going forward, plus a great deal more from the ANSYS world of simulation. Please visit the conference website http://www.ansys.com/events/conference2008 to register today. Yours very truly, James E. Cashman III President and Chief Executive Officer |
