April 1, 2008, ANSYS unveiled the ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager (EKM), a new product focused on simulation process and data management.

EKM provides a server-based repository for the archival and management of simulation data. Users can track, search, and archive files, as well as generate reports, perform audits, and protect intellectual property. ANSYS EKM can store and manage such data as simulation input and result files, animations, workflows, and reports. Version-control capabilities allow users to track files and workflows and evaluate and display differences between related simulation results.

ANSYS EKM also enables users to create workflow templates; flow diagrams that identify tasks, decision-making points, and transition paths between tasks. Users can assign tasks and decisions to specific people or teams and use automatic notification functionality to advise individuals of assigned responsibilities.
