Pittsburgh – March 10, 2008

WHO:	Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST)
WHAT:	Rapid and Accurate Simulation of Multi-Gigabit Serial Channels Webcast
WHEN:	March 20, 2008, 2-3 p.m. (EDT) / 11 a.m.-Noon (PDT)
WHERE:	Online (URL below)

Ansoft announces a one-hour Web seminar introducing two new simulation technologies-a fast transient and a statistical tool-that are now included in Nexxim®, Ansoft's circuit simulation engine. The new features include a fast transient tool that uses long, user-defined bit patterns to produce an eye diagram, allowing engineers to create controlled stress tests and to identify specific bit sequences that cause bit errors. The statistical tool produces both eye diagram plots and BER curves for complete high-speed channels in minutes. Because these technologies link to full-wave electromagnetic field solvers and a high-capacity circuit simulation engine, accuracy is not sacrificed for the improved simulation speed.
