Deeper integration of simulation throughout the

development process

Deeper understanding of product performance

Faster ramp-up, shorter development cycles and

quicker time-to-market

Reduced design-cycle times

Fewer prototypes and first-time quality at reasonable cost

Reduced warranty liability and exposure

PTC/ANSYS PARTNERSHIP
Revolutionize product design by removing the barriers
between CAD and CAE

Partnership provides best and PTC and ANSYS will put the
broadest portfolio of engineering power of gold-standard
simulation software simulation at the fingertips of
the Design Engineer

PTC and ANSYS are working together to embed the ANSYS Discovery simulation
engines natively within the PTC Creo Parametric environment
