ANSYS Announces Expanded File Transfer Support for Electronics Industry (ECAD) Users

LinkCAD and ANSYS Join in Enhanced Solution Partnership

CANONSBURG, Pa., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS Inc. (NASDAQ:ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced an a lliance with Bay Technology, developer of LinkCAD/ANSYS software.

LinkCAD/ANSYS is a robust and powerful utility that translates file formats from GDS-II, DXF, CIF, Gerber RS-274D/X or PostScript to ANSYS(R) file formats: ANSYS ANF, the ANSYS Workbench(TM)-compatible Parasolid XT and the ANSYS Emax(TM)-compatible TETIN.

Additionally, LinkCAD/ANSYS provides ANSYS users greater flexibility in layer management. This translator automatically imports 2-D geometry and all necessary changes to the geometries required to meet the new file format. An additional benefit to users is the View feature, which displays and allows review of individual layers. This addresses a common occurrence where AutoCAD DXF files have broken polylines that appear correct when output to pen plotters but are unusable for modelers. The View feature gives users a visual display of the reported broken areas and allows them to determine if they should "merge" broken polylines or add thickness.

"We are extremely pleased to partner with ANSYS and provide enhanced translation solutions to today's competitive market," said John Roth, president of Bay Technology. "The ability to quickly import the common file formats and directly export to ANSYS products will allow customers to further reduce time-to-market with viable products. Plus, providing LinkCAD/ANSYS as `ClickWare,' turnkey software downloadable from the Web, gives customers instant access to this affordable new product."
