(Reuters) - Ansys beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue and profit on Wednesday, driven by growing demand for its AI-powered tools and engineering software solutions.
The company has benefited from surging demand for its simulation and analysis solutions that help in evaluating products virtually before their market launch.
Ansys makes simulation software used by engineers, chip designers and researchers to help them analyze products across industries like aerospace, defense, automotive and energy.
The Pennsylvania-based company's products compete with those of Autodesk's Fusion 360, AutoCAD and Dassault Systems' Solidworks.
Simulation software maker Ansys posted revenue of $594.1 million, beating analysts' average estimate of $549.3 million, according to LSEG data.
