Ansys beats profit expectations on strong demand for engineering software
Nov 6 (Reuters) -Ansys ANSS.O beat Wall Street expectations for third-quarter revenue and profit on Wednesday, helped by growing demand for its AI-powered tools and engineering software solutions.

Excluding items, it earned $2.58 per share, compared with estimates of $1.72 per share.
