Ansys

Ansys is a global engineering simulation company (now part of Synopsys) with a deep portfolio spanning structures (Mechanical, LS-DYNA, Motion), fluids (Fluent, CFX, Rocky), electronics (HFSS, Maxwell, SIwave, Icepak), semiconductors (RedHawk, Totem), optics, photonics, materials (Granta), 3D design (Discovery, SpaceClaim), embedded software (SCADE), and systems (optiSLang, Twin Builder). Ansys also runs Ansys Cloud for burst HPC and offers Ansys Apps in the Cloud. The primary public developer surface is PyAnsys — an open-source family of 45+ Python packages on GitHub (ansys/pyansys metapackage) that wrap individual Ansys products as Pythonic interfaces. There is no public web REST API portal; programmatic access is licensed per product and driven through PyAnsys, ACT (Ansys Customization Toolkit), product scripting (MAPDL, Fluent TUI/Scheme), and Ansys Cloud.

    (Mechanical APDL), PyFluent (Fluent CFD), PyAEDT (Electronics Desktop / HFSS / Maxwell / Icepak), PyMechanical (Mechanical),
    PyDPF (Data Processing Framework, with PyDPF-Core and PyDPF-Post), PyPrimeMesh (meshing), PyOptislang (optiSLang), PyAdditive,
    PyDyna (LS-DYNA), PyEDB, PyGranta, PySystemCoupling, and visualization helpers. Each library wraps a licensed Ansys product
    over gRPC or COM as a Pythonic interface — not a public REST API.
