Cloud Engineering Simulator OnScale Purchased By AnSys

Abstract

Ansys has purchased OnScale, a cloud engineering simulation service that was developed within Thornton Tomasetti Weidlinger Innovation accelerator. OnScale was developed from the Flex family of computer code developed in the 1980s, particularly PZFlex, which can solve large-wave propagation problems found in a range of fields. TTWiiN is a technology incubator founded in 2015 after engineer Thornton Tomasetti merged with Weidling Associates, combining technology development in both firms. There are now five companies other than OnScale. The company has a portfolio of products still under development, including a new shock and vibration-isolation mount technology called Pumpkin Mounts technology called pumpkin Mounts and a collaboration tool called Konststrustruggling.
