"Ansys recorded excellent third quarter results, in which we exceeded our financial guidance across all key metrics. Our double-digit growth thus far in 2021 is further evidence of our multiphysics product leadership and strong customer relationships, which are furthering our strategy of making simulation pervasive across the product lifecycle. In October, we added to our market-leading portfolio with the acquisition of Zemax, expanding the scope of Ansys’ solution offering. With the addition of Zemax technologies, the industry-leading Ansys product portfolio will offer customers comprehensive, end-to-end solutions for simulating next-generation optical and photonics products,” said Ajei Gopal, Ansys president and CEO.
Nicole Anasenes, Ansys CFO, stated, “Our strong Q3 performance reflects the strength of our core business and continued momentum across our enterprise and small- and medium-sized customers. During Q3, Ansys recorded ACV growth of 20% and revenue growth of 20% and 21% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively. The Q3 results further contributed to the strong year-to-date performance, reflecting ACV growth of 17% and revenue growth of 18% and 19% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively."
Anasenes further stated, "Our year-to-date results indicate we are tracking to our business model of double-digit growth with industry-leading margins. Looking towards the end of the year, we continue to see a robust deal pipeline and momentum in the business, bolstering our confidence to raise full-year financial guidance above and beyond the impact of our strong Q3 top-line performance."

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.

Happy’s Tech Talk #28: The Power Mesh Architecture for PCBs
05/07/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkA significant decrease in HDI substrate production cost can be achieved by reducing the number of substrate layers from conventional through-hole multilayers and microvia multilayers of eight, 10, 12 (and more), down to four. Besides reducing direct processing steps, yield will increase as defect producing operations are eliminated.
