            ANSYS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS

        - Announces Results for Highly Successful Quarter

        - Closes Fluent Acquisition and Makes Significant Integration Progress

     SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to
optimize product development processes, today announced a new Company record for
quarterly non-GAAP operating results and increased its 2006 non-GAAP guidance.
On May 1, 2006, ANSYS successfully completed its acquisition of Fluent Inc.

     "This quarter was a historic one for ANSYS and for all of our stockholders,
employees, customers and partners, as we completed the transforming acquisition
of Fluent," stated ANSYS President and CEO, Jim Cashman. "We are optimistic that
this initial quarterly report today, which includes two months of operations as
a combined company, is only the beginning as we continue to focus and execute on
our integration plan and long-term strategy for the Company. Compared to a year
ago, this quarter's non-GAAP revenues increased in excess of 80% while non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share increased 29%. We continue to maintain a strong
balance sheet, ending the quarter with a new all-time high deferred revenue
balance of $95.4 million. As a result of the success of the quarter and the
current prospects for the remainder of the year, I am pleased to also announce
that we are increasing our non-GAAP guidance for 2006."

     ANSYS' second quarter and year-to-date 2006 financial results are presented
below. ANSYS' 2006 second quarter GAAP results are heavily impacted by a
one-time charge of $28.1 million related to in-process research and development
associated with the recent acquisition of Fluent. The non-GAAP results include,
for the first time, charges for stock-based compensation, and exclude the income
statement effects of purchase accounting for deferred revenue,
acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets and the one- time acquired
in-process research and development charge. Non-GAAP and GAAP results reflect:

     -    Total non-GAAP revenue of $68.2 million as compared to $37.7 million
          in the second quarter of 2005; total non-GAAP revenue of $114.2
          million in the first six months of 2006 as compared to $75.3 million
          in the first six months of 2005; total GAAP revenue of $62.3 million
          as compared to $37.7 million in the second quarter of 2005; total GAAP
          revenue of $108.3 million in the first six months of 2006 as compared
          to $75.3 million in the first six months of 2005;

     -    A non-GAAP operating profit margin of 36.3% as compared to 38.4% in
          the second quarter of 2005; a non-GAAP operating profit margin of
          38.1% in the first six months of 2006 as compared to 38.5% in the
          first six months of 2005; a GAAP operating profit margin of (23.3)% as
          compared to 35.4% in the second quarter of 2005; a GAAP operating
          profit margin of 3.1% in the first six months of 2006 as compared to
          35.5% in the first six months of 2005;

     -    Non-GAAP net income of $15.4 million as compared to $10.5 million in
          the second quarter of 2005; non-GAAP net income of $29.0 million in
          the first six months of 2006 as compared to $20.9 million in the first
          six months of 2005; a GAAP net loss of $19.4 million as compared to
          GAAP net income of $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2005; a GAAP
          net loss of $6.5 million in the first six months of 2006 as compared
          to GAAP net income of $19.5 million in the first six months of 2005;
          and

     -    Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.40 as compared to $0.31 in
          the second quarter of 2005; non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of
          $0.80 in the first six months of 2006 as compared to $0.62 in the
          first six months of 2005; a GAAP diluted loss per share of ($0.53) as
          compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the second
          quarter of 2005; a GAAP diluted loss per share of ($0.19) in the first
          six months of 2006 as compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of
          $0.58 in the first six months of 2005.



     The Company's GAAP and non-GAAP results reflect stock-based compensation
charges related to the January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS No. 123R "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" of approximately $1.0 million or $0.03 diluted
earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 and approximately $2.0 million
or $0.06 diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2006. Because
the Company elected prospective adoption of SFAS No. 123R, as permitted by SFAS
No. 123R, the 2005 results do not reflect charges for stock- based compensation.

     The non-GAAP financial results highlighted above, and the non-GAAP
financial outlook for 2006 discussed below, represent non-GAAP financial
measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the appropriate GAAP measures,
for the three months and six months ended June 30, is included in the condensed
financial information included in this release.

     Commenting on the Company's integration of Fluent, Cashman stated, "I am
very encouraged by our integration accomplishments in these first few months and
wish to express my sincere appreciation to both teams for their tireless
efforts, dedication and cooperation in this important effort as we continue to
build upon the foundation for expanding our role as the global leader in
engineering simulation."

     In addition to the May 2006 acquisition of Fluent, other recent partnership
and industry recognition highlights for the Company include:

     -    Being named among FORTUNE Small Business Fastest-Growing Companies for
          the third consecutive year.

     -    Announcing collaboration with Granta Design Ltd., the leader in
          materials information management, to allow interoperability within
          ANSYS and Granta's systems to empower product design.

     -    Being recognized for the fifth consecutive year in Business 2.0's
          Annual 'B2 100' Ranking of Fastest-Growing Tech Companies.

     -    Announcing a partnership with MatWeb, allowing integration with
          ANSYS(R) Workbench(TM), which expands material property data available
          to ANSYS software users.

     "Looking ahead," Cashman stated, "as we continue to build on the momentum
and strength of the first half results of 2006 and with the integration efforts
well underway, we believe that we are poised for the next exciting phase in
ANSYS' history and are increasing the Company's non-GAAP outlook for 2006. While
we are excited for the second half of the year, we are even more optimistic
about the opportunities for ANSYS in the years to come. We are committed to
focusing our efforts and resources to respond to our customers' increasing needs
and to building for the future."

     Management's Financial Outlook

     The Company has provided its 2006 revenue and earnings per share guidance
below. The revenue and earnings per share guidance is provided on both a GAAP
basis and a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share exclude the income statement effects of purchase accounting for deferred
revenue, acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets and acquired
in-process research and development. In previous quarters, the Company's
non-GAAP guidance also excluded estimated stock-based compensation costs. For
the first time, the Company's non-GAAP results for the second quarter 2006 and
the financial outlook for the third quarter and future periods include the
effect of stock-based compensation.



     As required by FASB Statement 123(R) and recent guidance issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, effective January 1, 2006, the Company
records expenses and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. As a
result, the GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for earnings per share provided below
reflect the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation. The Company issues
both nonqualified and incentive stock options; however, incentive stock options
comprise a significant portion of outstanding stock options. The tax benefits
associated with incentive stock options are unpredictable, as they are
predicated upon an award recipient triggering an event that disqualifies the
award and which then results in a tax deduction to the Company. GAAP requires
that these tax benefits be recorded at the time of the triggering event. The
triggering events for each option holder are not easily projected. In order to
estimate the tax benefit related to incentive stock options, the Company makes
many assumptions and estimates, including the number of incentive stock options
that will be exercised during the period by U.S. employees, the number of
incentive stock options that will be disqualified during the period and the fair
market value of the Company's stock price on the exercise dates. Each of these
items is subject to significant uncertainty. Additionally, a significant portion
of the tax benefits related to disqualified incentive stock options is accounted
for as an increase to equity (additional paid-in capital) rather than as a
reduction in income tax expense, especially in the periods most closely
following the adoption date of Statement 123(R). Although all such benefits
continue to be realized through the Company's tax filings, this accounting
treatment has the effect of increasing tax expense and reducing net income. For
example, the Company realized a tax benefit of $2.7 million during the first six
months of 2006 related to disqualified incentive stock options; however, only
$46,000 of such amount was recorded as a reduction in income tax expense.
Because there are significant limitations in estimating the impact of FASB
Statement 123(R), including those discussed above, the actual impact of
stock-based compensation on GAAP earnings per share may differ materially from
the estimated amounts included in the guidance below.

     Third Quarter 2006 Guidance

     The Company currently expects the following for the quarter ending
September 30, 2006:

     -    GAAP revenue of approximately $68 - $69 million

     -    Non-GAAP revenue of approximately $75 - $76 million

     -    GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.12 - $0.15

     -    Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.35 - $0.36

     Fiscal Year 2006 Guidance

     The Company currently expects the following for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006:

     -    GAAP revenue in the range of $252 - $257 million

     -    Non-GAAP revenue of approximately $270 - $275 million

     -    GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.17 - $0.24

     -    Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.53 - $1.55

     The above guidance includes the impact of the May 1, 2006 acquisition of
Fluent from the date of acquisition. Non-GAAP revenue and diluted earnings per
share is a supplemental financial measure and should not be considered as a
substitute for, or superior to, revenue and diluted earnings per share
determined in accordance with GAAP.

     Use of Non-GAAP Measures

     The Company provides non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP
operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding the Company's operational
performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and,
therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A detailed
explanation of each of the adjustments to such financial measures is described
below. This press release also contains a reconciliation of each of these
non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

     Management uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate the Company's
historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance
relative to its competitors, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending
budgets, (c) to allocate resources, (d) to measure operational profitability and
the accuracy of forecasting, (e) to assess financial discipline over operational
expenditures and (f) as an important factor in determining variable compensation
for management and its employees. In addition, many financial analysts that
follow our Company focus on and publish both historical results and future
projections based on non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is in the
best interest of our investors to provide this information to analysts so that
they accurately report the non- GAAP financial information. Moreover, investors
have historically requested and the Company has historically reported these
non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable
information with past reports of financial results.

     While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated
with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial
measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of
the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled
measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact
method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using
these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and
by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their
most comparable GAAP financial measures.

     The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for
such adjustments, are outlined below:

     Purchase accounting for deferred revenue. As announced on May 1, 2006,
ANSYS acquired Fluent Inc. in a series of mergers. In accordance with the fair
value provisions of EITF 01-3, "Accounting in a Business Combination for
Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree," acquired deferred revenue of approximately
$31.5 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet, which was approximately
$20.1 million lower than the historical carrying value. Although this purchase
accounting requirement has no impact on the Company's business or cash flow, it
adversely impacts the Company's reported GAAP software license revenue primarily
for the first twelve months post- acquisition. In order to provide investors
with financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and
future results, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures which
exclude the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment. The Company believes
that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows
investors to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information
used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (b) to
compare past and future reports of financial results of the Company as the
revenue reduction related to acquired deferred revenue will not recur when
related annual lease licenses and software maintenance contracts are renewed in
future periods.



     Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions. The Company incurs
amortization of intangibles, included in its GAAP presentation of amortization
of software and acquired technology and amortization expense, related to various
acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management excludes these expenses and
their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial
measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company
because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized
over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be
changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly,
management does not consider these expenses for purposes of evaluating the
performance of the Company during the applicable time period after the
acquisition, and it excludes such expenses when making decisions to allocate
resources. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is
useful to investors because it allows investors to (a) evaluate the
effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its
financial and operational decision-making and (b) compare past reports of
financial results of the Company as the Company has historically reported these
non-GAAP financial measures.

     Acquired in-process research and development. The Company incurs in-
process research and development expenses when technological feasibility for
acquired technology has not been established and no future alternative use for
such technology exists. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax
impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it
evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these
costs do not relate to the Company's ongoing operations and generally cannot be
changed or influenced by management at the time of or after the acquisition.
Accordingly, management does not consider these expenses for purposes of
evaluating the performance of the Company during the applicable time period
after the acquisition, and it excludes such expenses when making decisions to
allocate resources. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial adjustment
is useful to investors because it allows investors to (a) evaluate the
effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its
financial and operational decision-making and (b) to compare past and future
reports of financial results of the Company as the expense related to in-process
research and development is a one-time item recorded on the date of acquisition.

     Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative
for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The
Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should
be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.

     Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures as listed below:

       GAAP Reporting Measure          Non-GAAP Reporting Measure
       Revenue                         Adjusted Revenue
