Synopsys completes the acquisition of Ansys, announced on 16 January 2024 for about $35 billion. The chip design leader adds the multiphysics simulation specialist, from silicon to full systems.

### Background On 17 July 2025, Synopsys announces the completion of its acquisition of **Ansys**, the reference in multiphysics simulation and analysis. The deal, announced on 16 January 2024 and valued at **about $35 billion** according to the press (Reuters, CNBC), brings together semiconductor design, circuit IP and system simulation. ### Key facts - Synopsys claims an expanded addressable market of **$31 billion** (vendor estimate). - First integrated capabilities planned for the first half of 2026: multiphysics across the full EDA stack, including multi-die advanced packaging. - Joint roadmap on testing and virtualization of intelligent systems, notably for automotive. - Former Ansys CEO Ajei Gopal joins the Synopsys board; Ansys stock is delisted. ### Why it matters For mechanical, fluids or electronics design offices, one of the main simulation tools comes under the control of an electronic design vendor. Designing products where electronics, thermal and mechanics are coupled (vehicles, industrial equipment, data centers) drives this combination; in return, users depend more on a few large platforms. ### Takeaway With Siemens–Altair and Cadence–Hexagon, the simulation market concentrates around three large vendors in less than a year.
