PITTSBURGH, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansys, (NASDAQ: ANSS) the global leader and innovator of engineering simulation software, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Diakopto. A provider of differentiated EDA solutions to accelerate integrated circuit (IC) development, Diakopto focuses on helping resolve critical issues caused by layout parasitics. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023. It is not expected to have a material impact on Ansys' consolidated financial statements in 2023.
Diakopto develops products that address the growing complexities and unintended effects of designing ICs in the modern era. Semiconductor designs increasingly employ advanced process node technologies, where interconnect parasitic effects limit the performance, reliability, and functionality of designs. Diakopto's market-leading products have been adopted by dozens of customers, including tier-one semiconductor companies, for a broad range of applications.
"Diakopto's culture of strong engineering excellence and its innovative and highly differentiated products create a natural alignment with our organization. We are eager to welcome their team to the Ansys family," said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. "Incorporating Diakopto's unique methodology will support designers using Ansys to quickly and easily pinpoint the few elements, out of billions, causing bottlenecks. Designers can then optimize and debug designs more efficiently for enhanced IC performance and reliability, and accelerate time to market. The acquisition will complement Ansys' existing offerings for engineers at every level as Diakopto's intuitive and out-of-the-box experience doesn't require extensive training or complicated setups or configurations."
"Today's announcement brings together two like-minded companies on the forefront of innovation, and we are excited about becoming part of the Ansys family," said Maxim Ershov, CEO and CTO at Diakopto. "By joining forces with Ansys, we're confident that we can solve a broader set of problems in the chip design workflow together, strengthening offerings for our customers and driving more innovations in high-tech designs for data center, 5G, automotive, and mobile applications."
When visionary companies need to know how their world-changing ideas will perform, they close the gap between design and reality with Ansys simulation. For more than 50 years, Ansys software has enabled innovators across industries to push boundaries by using the predictive power of simulation. From sustainable transportation to advanced semiconductors, from satellite systems to life-saving medical devices, the next great leaps in human advancement will be powered by Ansys.

This is my first post, so any help would be appreciated. I downloaded and installed the student Spaceclaim 2023 R2. It works very well and allows me to save each file that I start. My planis to use it to create 3D geometry for 3D printing, or as a reverse-engineering software, which usually is based on some 3D scanned item, and importing the scan file into Spaceclaim, then building a model in the same space as the scan file. Good news, that all works perfectly.
Bad news, after creating new geometry, or reverse-engineering a scanned item, although I can save the file, I cannot export the new file in any format. My preferred choices would be stl and then step files. This is simply not an option on the student version of Spaceclaim. I tried 17 ways to Sunday.
