The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States has imposed conditions on the $35 billion acquisition of Ansys by Synopsys, requiring the two companies to divest specific assets to address antitrust concerns. The FTC announced that Synopsys must sell its optical and photonic software tools to Keysight Technologies, while Ansys must also transfer its PowerArtist power consumption analysis tool to Keysight Technologies. Previously, the deal had secured conditional approval from the European Union.
