About ANSYS, Inc.:
ANSYS, Inc., formerly Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc. (SASI), was
founded in 1970 by Dr. John A. Swanson to develop, support, and market
the ANSYS program, a finite element analysis code widely used in the
computer-aided engineering field. The company has been headquartered
since 1978 at its current location in Houston, Pennsylvania, just
outside of Pittsburgh. Employment has grown from a few employees to
more than 170 today, half of which are engineers or technical
specialists. ANSYS software allows engineers to construct computer
models of structures, machine components or systems; apply operating
loads and other design criteria; and study physical responses, such as
stress levels, temperature distributions, pressure, etc. It permits an
evaluation of a design without having to build and destroy multiple
prototypes in testing.
