Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization We develop and globally market engineering simulation software and services widely used by engineers, designers, researchers and students across a broad spectrum of industries and academia, including high-tech, aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, industrial equipment, materials and chemicals, consumer products, healthcare and construction. As defined by the accounting guidance for segment reporting, we operate as one segment. Given the integrated approach to the multi-discipline problem-solving needs of our customers, a single sale of software may contain components from multiple product areas and include combined technologies. We also have a multi-year product and integration strategy that will result in new, combined products or changes to the historical product offerings. As a result, it is impracticable for us to provide accurate historical or current reporting among our various product lines. Pending Acquisition On January 15, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with Synopsys, Inc. (Synopsys) under which Synopsys will acquire Ansys. Under the terms of the agreement, Ansys stockholders will receive $197.00 in cash and 0.3450 of a share of Synopsys common stock for each Ansys share, representing an enterprise value of approximately $35.0 billion based on the closing price of Synopsys common stock on December 21, 2023. The transaction is anticipated to close in the first half of 2025, subject to approval by Ansys stockholders, the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. See Note 20 "Subsequent Event" for additional details.
