Automotive innovation runs on simulation. Ansys powers structural, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic models that help manufacturers design lighter, safer, and more efficient vehicles. From crash analysis to battery optimization, every critical decision is tested in the virtual world before it hits the road.
Ansys, which has been acquired recently by Synopsys, is powerful, but it can be very expensive and complex. Without strategic software license monitoring and optimization, your Ansys assets can’t deliver their full value. Too many engineers wait in queues. Too many tokens sit idle. Too much budget is wasted.
Analyzer for Ansys® Software by Open iT helps you address these challenges.
DEMO: Stop Simulation Bottlenecks
The Software License Problem in Automotive
Modern vehicle engineering programs depend on constant simulation:
- FEA for lightweight frames and crash safety
- CFD for aerodynamics, cooling, and emissions control
- EM for radar, EV drivetrains, and ADAS systems
Many teams need Ansys. A lot of automotive projects depend on it. Yet without proper license usage tracking, pools get messy real quick.
- Bottlenecks: Engineers face license denials during peak demand, stalling simulation cycles.
- License Hoarding: Users checking out one or more licenses for extended periods, regardless of active use.
- Underutilization: Specialized modules purchased but rarely invoked in production workloads.
- Overspending: Excess “safety stock” licenses procured to avoid perceived shortages.
- Compliance Risks: Breaches of license terms going undetected until audits expose them.
The result? Slower simulations, inflated budgets, and frustrated teams. In an industry where a single delay can cost millions, that’s not just inconvenient. It’s dangerous.
Smarter Software License Monitoring with Open iT
Analyzer for Ansys® Software brings clarity and control to Ansys license management. Powerful software license monitoring turns deep and granular software license usage into hard data. Insights derived from this data inform smart decisions, enhance operations, and eliminate issues that impede innovations.
What It Delivers
- Full Visibility: See who’s using which license, for how long, and where bottlenecks form with powerful license usage tracking.
- Optimization: Identify idle modules, cut waste, and invest in the licenses engineers actually use.
- Fair Access: Balance pools across global teams so simulation workflows never stall.
- Audit Confidence: Map usage against agreements and avoid hefty penalties.
- Executive Insight: Link license spend to engineering outcomes in business-ready dashboards.
Managers shift from firefighting to strategic oversight. That’s the difference between “reactive” and “smart.”
The Payoff
With Analyzer for Ansys® Software’s advanced license usage tracking, automotive companies unlock the full value of Ansys:
- Faster Simulations – Engineers wait less, innovate more.
- Lower Costs – Budgets shrink as waste vanishes.
- Better Collaboration – FEA, CFD, and EM teams access what they need, when they need it.
- Future-Ready – Hybrid and cloud-based workflows are supported with seamless software license management.
Instead of throwing more money at “more licenses,” This software asset management makes every license work harder, smarter, and faster.
Real-World Impact
Imagine a global OEM with hundreds of engineers across three continents. Simulation workloads fluctuate wildly. One team in Europe hits denials during crunch time; another in Asia leaves vast license pools idle at night.
Without proper license usage tracking, leadership buys more licenses—wasting budget without solving the issue.
Analyzer for Ansys® Software lets users see exact usage by time zone. They reallocate underused tokens. Denials vanish. Waste disappears. Millions in savings follow.
Or envision a Tier 1 EV supplier. Engineers need constant access to CFD and EM modules for cooling and compatibility testing. But sessions get hogged, and projects slow. Open iT’s automated license tracking reveals who’s holding on and why. Idle sessions get released. Project timelines snap back on track.
These aren’t small wins. They’re the difference between launching on time and watching competitors zip past.
No Red Lights for Simulations
This isn’t IT housekeeping. Smarter software license monitoring translates directly into measurable business results. When licenses are managed with precision, engineering teams avoid unnecessary bottlenecks that often slow down innovation.
Shorter time-to-market becomes possible because stalled simulations due to unavailable licenses are eliminated. Stronger margins follow, as wasteful over-purchasing of licenses is cut without ever sacrificing the software capabilities engineers need. Innovation accelerates when teams are assured of access—giving them the freedom to explore design variations without hesitation. Compliance becomes a built-in advantage rather than a looming risk.
More Vehicle Simulations Ahead
Electric vehicles push the boundaries of simulation as advanced battery technology and thermal management require constant testing and refinement. Connected vehicles bring an explosion of electronics integration, magnifying workloads for compatibility and interference testing. And sustainability goals—from lightweighting to emission control—demand a diverse and intensive mix of simulations across every stage of development.
Every one of these trends creates more simulation. More complexity. More demand. Ansys is prepared to handle it—and with Open iT’s advanced software license monitoring and optimization, organizations can transform that license complexity into clarity. The future of automotive development isn’t throttled by licensing, it’s accelerated by it.
