advancing 6G communication systems, artificial intelligence
(AI)-infused simulation solutions, autonomous vehicles, digital
twins, enhanced graphics, and visual rendering
- Ansys joins the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) to foster
data interoperability of 3D content in products across the Ansys
portfolio
- NVIDIA will expand its use of Ansys solutions to optimize
hardware while Ansys will use NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Hopper
architecture-based GPUs and GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips to
scale up and accelerate existing solutions
PITTSBURGH, March 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS)
today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop
next-generation simulation solutions powered by accelerated
computing and generative AI. The expanded collaboration will fuse
cutting-edge technologies to advance 6G technologies, supercharge
Ansys solvers via NVIDIA GPUs, integrate NVIDIA AI into Ansys
software offerings, develop physics-based digital twins, and
customize large language models (LLMs) developed with NVIDIA AI
foundry services.
Ansys recently joined the AOUSD to strengthen data
interoperability and deliver enhanced graphics and visual rendering
to its portfolio. Ansys has already connected Ansys AVxcelerate
Autonomy™ to NVIDIA DRIVE Sim powered by the NVIDIA
Omniverse platform, and plans to investigate additional
integrations across the portfolio, including Ansys
STK™, Ansys LS-DYNA™, Ansys
Fluent™, and Ansys Perceive EM. This seamless
interoperability will empower users to tackle a wide range of
challenges, from factory-level to planetary-level simulations.
In addition to Omniverse integrations, the collaboration will
prioritize advancements in four areas:
- Accelerated Computing: Ansys, working with NVIDIA, is
enabling customers across industries to shorten design cycles and
deliver increasingly complex products by advancing numerics
research in high-performance computing. Ansys harnesses NVIDIA H100
Tensor Core GPUs to boost multiple simulation solutions and
prioritizes NVIDIA Blackwell-based processors and NVIDIA Grace
Hopper Superchips for products across the Ansys portfolio,
including Ansys Fluent, Ansys LS-Dyna, and Ansys electronics and
semiconductor products. Simultaneously, NVIDIA leverages Ansys
technology, including semiconductor tools, to enrich virtual models
and data center design, ultimately leading to accelerated Ansys
solver performance.
- 6G Telecommunications: Ansys is among the first
adopters of the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform, allowing
researchers a comprehensive suite to advance AI for radio access
network (RAN) technology. Ansys Perceive EM, a new solver
powered by Ansys HFSS™, builds on NVIDIA 6G Research
Cloud, which is designed to speed the development of 6G
technologies. Perceive EM's synthetic data-on-demand revolutionizes
6G system digital twins with elevated predictive accuracy, capable
of assessing how real-world conditions impact wireless network
performance. Perceive EM will also be available within the Ansys
Academic and Ansys Startup Programs, which have reached 2,900+
universities and 2,100+ startups, respectively.
- AI-Enhanced Simulation: Ansys is exploring the NVIDIA
Modulus framework for physics-based machine learning to further
boost its software offerings with the latest AI techniques. The
work aims to deliver enhanced functionality within the Ansys AI+
product family, such as more efficient optimization, sensitivity
analyses, and robust designs.
- AI Foundry: Ansys is examining the adoption of NVIDIA AI
foundry to advance LLM development, furthering the democratization
of simulation by simplifying setup and use. Future LLMs tailored to
Ansys solutions offer the potential to provide expert virtual
assistance that will open the door to new users and create new
simulation use cases. Ansys intends to leverage the NVIDIA NeMo
platform, which offers a set of tools that make it easier, more
cost-effective, and faster to develop generative AI
capabilities.
"We are excited to extend our collaboration with NVIDIA to
enable a new frontier of generative AI and accelerated computing,"
said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO at Ansys. "Within the dynamic
realm of NVIDIA Omniverse, our visionary customers can propel
innovation, bridging virtual and physical realities to shape
tomorrow's technologies and help solve the most pressing
engineering challenges of our time."
"Everything manufactured will have digital twins — and the
world's designers and engineers in heavy industry markets rely on
Ansys as their simulation engine," said Jensen Huang, founder and
CEO of NVIDIA. "We're collaborating with Ansys to bring accelerated
computing and generative AI to these massive workloads, and to
extend Ansys' leading physics simulation tools with NVIDIA
Omniverse digitalization technologies."
Join Ansys at NVIDIA GTC, Booth #830, to learn more about the
future of generative AI and see exciting demonstrations.
