Ansys, an engineering simulation software developer, completed the acquisition of Diakopto, a provider of differentiated EDA solutions to accelerate integrated circuit development. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Diakopto's culture of strong engineering excellence and its innovative and highly differentiated products create a natural alignment with our organization. We are eager to welcome their team to the Ansys family. Incorporating Diakopto's unique methodology will support designers using Ansys to quickly and easily pinpoint the few elements, out of billions, causing bottlenecks. Designers can then optimize and debug designs more efficiently for enhanced IC performance and reliability, and accelerate time to market. The acquisition will complement Ansys' existing offerings for engineers at every level as Diakopto's intuitive and out-of-the-box experience doesn't require extensive training or complicated setups or configurations," Shane Emswiler, Ansys Senior Vice President of Products.
