the news of the acquisition of spaceclaim by ansys, world leader of the engineering simulation software market (cae), was disclosed this morning. I am convinced that it is a great news for those who, like me, believe in an intuitive and simple software to use as spaceclaim, and who wants it to evolve more and more. ansys on the other hand has an experience of more than 40 years (1970), and will be able to join its powerful means and consolidated procedures the extraordinary imagination and ability to innovate of the spaceclaim team. Moreover ansys can land in a new market (mechanical, sheet, 3d printing).
doubts could arise for current customers, so they were escaped in a press release that I bring back below (in short):
how will this affect spaceclaim?the product and its modules will be developed as before, indeed with ansys behind the spaceclaim team will be able to develop even faster the software.
spaceclaim will be supported as before, and the reference market will always be the same? Yes. ansys has interest in expanding its market to new ones, so if the product is aimed at a market (e.g. prototyping, sheet, 3d printing, ...) then in the future it will be supported and developed further with new functions and improvements.
how does product support and distribution change?Everything remains as before. in this sense no change is planned.
regarding the license of use?even in this case no change.
and the interoperability of spaceclaim?spaceclaim has a cad-neutral approach (direct modelling, import/export of standard and native formats of other software). the same policy of ansys, always open platform, therefore users of spaceclaim will always be free to change the imported geometries regardless of the system in which they were created.
We'll see some good ones!
