Stock Repurchase Program [Abstract]  
Stock Repurchase Program Stock Repurchase Program
In fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the Program) with authorization to purchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock. As of October 31, 2025, $194.3 million remained available for future repurchases under the Program. However, in connection with the Ansys Merger, we have suspended the Program until we reduce our expected debt levels.
