Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) completed the acquisition of Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group and Ansys' PowerArtist on October 17, 2025. The deals add optical design and photonics tools (including CODE V, LightTools, LucidShape, ImSym, and RSoft) and an RTL pre-synthesis power-analysis platform (PowerArtist).
These additions expand Keysight’s design engineering software and multi-physics simulation capabilities, aiming to enable earlier, more accurate optical and power design decisions and faster time-to-market across RF, analog, digital, photonics, and optics in a vendor-agnostic ecosystem.
Synopsys (Nasdaq: SNPS) received final regulatory approval to proceed with the planned divestitures of its Optical Solutions Group and PowerArtist businesses to Keysight Technologies. These divestitures were required in connection with Synopsys' acquisition of Ansys, which closed on July 17, 2025. Synopsys expects to complete the divestitures on or about October 17, 2025. The company said the transactions are not material to Synopsys' financials, terms were not disclosed, and Synopsys remains committed to a seamless transition for employees, customers and partners.
Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) Ansys SimAI platform is being used by Sumitomo Riko to accelerate simulation for automotive component design and manufacturing.
Key outcomes include simulation speedups over 10x versus traditional methods and AI models that predict performance in under five minutes, saving more than one hour per new design. The workflow eliminates the need for parametrized geometry and targets tasks like anti-vibration design, battery cooling, magnetic analysis, and heat transfer.
Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) has unveiled a digital twin racetrack experience at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals in Singapore, integrating Ansys Discovery™ software with NVIDIA Omniverse. The initiative provides over 400,000 students across 65 countries with free access to advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools used by professional F1 teams.
The platform allows students to virtually test aerodynamics of miniature F1 cars, with a simplified version demonstrated at the World Finals and a more advanced version planned for the 2025-2026 racing season. Research shows that 82% of STEM professionals developed interest in their field before high school, underlining the importance of this early exposure to practical engineering tools.
Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) announced that TSMC has certified its Ansys portfolio of simulation and analysis solutions for TSMC's advanced manufacturing processes including N3C, N3P, N2P, and A16™. The collaboration includes an AI-assisted design flow for the TSMC-COUPE™ platform.
Key certifications include Ansys RedHawk-SC and Ansys Totem for power integrity verification, HFSS-IC Pro for electromagnetic modeling on TSMC's N5 and N3P processes, and PathFinder-SC™ for ESD current density checking on N2P process. The partnership enables multiphysics analysis flows and AI-driven photonics optimization, supporting the development of chips for AI acceleration, high-speed communications, and advanced computing.
Synopsys (NASDAQ:SNPS) has announced an expanded collaboration with TSMC to advance AI and multi-die innovation through enhanced EDA and IP solutions. The partnership focuses on certified digital and analog flows for TSMC's N2P and A16 processes using TSMC NanoFlex architecture.
Key developments include the 3DIC Compiler platform for 3D stacking and CoWoS packaging, AI-optimized photonic flow for TSMC-COUPE technology, and the industry's broadest IP portfolio optimized for TSMC's N2/N2P processes.
