Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

(All numerical references are in thousands, except for
percentages)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES AND GROSS MARGINS

System and Software

System and software revenues for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, totaled $42,054 compared to $49,663
for the same period of 1994.   As a percentage of
system and software revenues, gross margins were 81%
for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to 80%
for the first quarter of 1994.

Revenues during the first quarter of 1995 declined by
15% compared to the same period last year.  Software
product revenue accounted for 75% of the decline while
hardware product revenue made up the balance of the
change.  System and software revenues were lower in
the first quarter of 1995 due to a one-time contract
which yielded approximately $11,000 in the first
quarter of 1994.  Historically the Company experiences
improved revenues in the second and fourth quarter
while the first and third quarters are slower.  Japan
has usually posted stronger first and third quarter
revenues that has somewhat offset otherwise seasonally
slow quarters.  Second quarter order and revenue
levels are expected to improve over seasonally slow
first quarter levels.  System and software revenue
levels are dependent on order activity; as such
improved performance for the next quarter is not
guaranteed.

System and software gross margin levels are dependent
on such factors as third party software content for
which royalties are paid, lower margin hardware
revenue levels, and amortization of previously
capitalized software development costs and purchased
technology costs.  Third party software royalty costs
have been increasing for the last several quarters.
This increase in cost of system and software revenues
was offset by lower hardware revenue and associated
cost of revenue and lower overall amortization levels
for the comparable periods.  Third party royalty costs
are expected to be at or above current expense levels
for at least the next several quarters.  Future trends
of third party revenue content are difficult to
predict since they are dependent on several variables
including new third party agreements, potential
acquisitions of third parties where existing
agreements are in place, and varying levels of
customer demand for third party product offerings.

The overall mix of hardware versus software continues
to move toward software.  The Company experienced some
hardware sales to meet customer requests when gross
margins were above a minimum level.  In the first
quarter of 1995, the hardware component of system and
software revenue declined  to 7% from 10% for the same
quarter last year.  The Company expects the decline of
hardware revenue to continue at a much slower rate as
the year progresses.

Amortization of previously capitalized software
development costs to system and software cost of
revenues was $1,136 and $2,010 for the first quarter
of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  In 1994, amortization
reflected a higher level of capitalized costs
accumulated during development of Version 8 software
products.  The amortization level declined in the
first quarter of 1995 as several capitalized projects
became fully amortized during the prior year.
Purchased technology amortization to system and
software cost of goods sold was $554 and $0 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The increase in purchased technology amortization is
due to various technology acquisitions  in 1994,
including the purchase of Anacad Electrical
Engineering Software GmbH (Anacad) on September 30,
1994.  Exclusive of additional acquisitions,
amortization of capitalized software development and
purchased technology costs are expected to be
approximately flat for the next several quarters.


Service  and Support

Service and support revenues for the first quarter of
1995 were $42,657, an increase of 20% from the
comparable quarter of 1994.  Growth in software
support revenue is attributable to growth in the
Company's installed customer base, and continued
success of the Company's software support programs.
The Company continues to experience lower decline
rates for its software support program due partially
to the improved quality of the current software
product offerings.  Also, in the first quarter of the
prior year, service and support revenue was impacted
by delayed annual software support contract renewals.
Approximately half of the Company's software support
contracts expire at the end of each calendar year.  In
the first quarter of 1994, software support revenue
was negatively impacted by delayed software support
contract signings.  In the first quarter of 1995, the
Company made a focused effort to minimize this trend
by allocating additional resources to software support
contract administration.  This effort resulted in
fewer software support contract renewal delays,
allowing the Company to recognize additional revenue
for services rendered during the quarter.

Professional and other service revenues increased
approximately 18% the first quarter of 1995 compared
to the same period of 1994.  A first quarter 1994
reorganization of the professional service team
worldwide negatively affected the growth in
professional service revenues.  Other service revenues
were also reduced as a result of a change in
accounting policy under which non-recurring
engineering funding, which totaled approximately $900
in the first quarter of 1995, is now being applied as
an offset to R&D.  In prior years this funding was
included as a component of service and support
revenue.  Prior year's consolidated statements of
operations were not restated due to immateriality of
the change on total revenues and operating expenses.
Overall professional service revenues are expected to
continue to grow.  In particular, integrated circuit
custom design services are experiencing increased
demand.

Service and support gross margins were 57% and 54% for
the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The increase in service and support
gross margins is attributable to the increased
software support revenue volume.  Consistent with
consulting and training business models, gross margins
generated by the Company's professional service
activities have been and are expected to continue to
be lower than software support.  Service and support
gross margins are expected to be lower as growth in
the professional service business is expected to be
higher than growth in software support.


OPERATING EXPENSES

Gross research and development (R&D) expenses were
$18,854 for the first quarter of 1995 compared to
$19,664 for the same period of 1994.  Net R&D costs
were $16,890 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
compared to $18,791 for the same period of 1994.  The
Company capitalized R&D costs of $1,964 and $873
during the first quarters of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Capitalization levels during the second
quarter of 1995 are expected to decrease as
development of the Company's next update release is
not expected to reach technological feasibility until
later in the quarter.

Lower gross R&D expenses are attributable to lower
head count due to attrition and some planned
reductions in force.  The Company closed an Integrated
Circuit Division R&D site during the first quarter of
1994, consolidating activities with other pre-existing
locations.  Gross R&D costs were also reduced as a
result of a change in accounting policy under which
R&D costs associated with non-recurring engineering
contracts were offset by the contract funding in 1995
totaling approximately $900.  Offsetting these expense
reductions was the acquisition of Anacad, resulting in
R&D expenses of $846 in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to $0 in the same period of 1994.  R&D
expenses are expected to increase as new business
opportunities are funded as the year progresses.

Marketing, general and administration expenses (MG&A)
totaled $34,173 and $35,454 for the first quarters of
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The reduction of MG&A
expenses is principally attributable to lower head
count.  In 1994, North America, Europe and Japan
streamlined their organizations to improve the ratio
of selling and administrative expense compared to
regional revenue levels.  This process was executed
throughout 1994 resulting in lower expense levels as
the year progressed.  In addition, corporate
administrative costs have been reduced to better align
spending levels with industry business model
standards.   Offsetting these expense reductions was
the acquisition of Anacad, resulting in MG&A expenses
of $1,297 in the first quarter of 1995, compared to $0
in the same period of 1994.  Operating expenses should
increase in the second quarter of 1995 due to
weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies.  In addition, spending levels may also
increase due to annual salary increases in North
America at the beginning of the second quarter and
funding of some attrition replacement.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Implementation of the Company's restructuring plan
approved by management in December 1993, and modified
in 1994 proceeded as anticipated during the first
quarter of 1995.  There have been no material changes
in the elements of the December 31, 1994 restructure
accrual of $11,897.  Costs remaining to be incurred in
executing the restructuring plan consist primarily of
direct costs associated with severance and relocation
of employees, facilities closures and write-offs of
excess equipment and intangible software technology
assets related to discontinued product development
activities.

Approximately $11,000 of the restructuring accrual
should result in cash outflows during 1995.  For the
first quarter, restructure-related cash outflows were
approximately $1,400.  For the second quarter of 1995,
disbursements are anticipated to be near $1,200, with
the balance of $8,200 scheduled for the second half of
the year.  Approximately $1,200, primarily related to
facilities closures, is expected to be disbursed
beyond 1995.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income totaled $1,160 for the first quarter of
1995 compared to other income of $563 for the same
period of 1994.  Interest income from investments was
$1,670 for the first quarter of 1995, compared to
$1,093 for the first quarter of 1994.  The increase in
interest income is primarily attributable to higher
average cash, cash equivalent and short term
investments outstanding during the comparable
quarters.  During the first quarter of 1995, interest
expense amounted to $640, up slightly from $635 for
the comparable period in 1994.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes amounted to $1,700 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, as compared to $940
for the same period in 1994.  The Company's income tax
position for each year combines the effects of
available tax benefits in certain countries where the
Company does business, benefits from available net
operating loss carry forwards, and tax expense for
subsidiaries with pre-tax income.  As such, the
Company's income tax position and resultant effective
tax rate is uncertain for the remainder of 1995.



EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

The Company experienced a net gain from foreign
currency transactions of $96 during the first quarter
of 1995 compared to a net loss of $91 during the first
quarter of 1994.  These amounts are comprised of
realized gains and losses on cash transactions
involving various foreign currencies, and unrealized
gains and losses related to foreign currency
receivables and payables resulting from exchange rate
fluctuations between the various currencies in which
the Company operates.  Foreign currency gains and
losses are included as a component of other income.
The "foreign currency translation adjustment", as
reported in the equity section of the consolidated
balance sheet at March 31, 1995, increased to $18,762
from $12,674 at the end of 1994.  This reflects the
increase in the value of net assets denominated in
foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar since year-
end 1994.

During the period from December 31, 1994 to March 31,
1995, the U.S. dollar weakened approximately 13%
against the Japanese yen and 8% against the European
currencies.  Generally, a weakening of the U.S. dollar
makes the Company's products less expensive in foreign
markets, which has a positive impact on the Company's
revenues over time.  In addition, a weakening U.S.
dollar results in higher reported revenues and
operating expenses due to translation of local
currency activity to U.S. dollars for consolidated
financial reporting.

The Company generally realizes approximately half of
its revenue outside the United States and expects this
to continue in the future.  As such, the Company's
business and operating results may be impacted by the
effects of future foreign currency fluctuations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


CASH AND INVESTMENTS

Total cash and investments at March 31, 1995 were
$159,180 compared to $137,856 at the end of 1994.
Cash provided by operations was $20,985 for the first
three months of 1995 compared to cash used by
operations of $1,862 during the same period of 1994.
Cash provided by operations was positively impacted by
early quarter shipments which resulted in lowering trade
receivables by $8,812.   Cash and short-term
investments at March 31, 1995 were positively impacted
by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of
$3,780, offset by decreased short-term borrowings of
$1,529 and investment in property, plant and equipment
of $3,830.


TRADE  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Trade accounts receivable decreased to $73,473 at
March 31, 1995 from $82,285 at year-end 1994.  This
decrease is attributable to a more evenly distributed
shipment pattern during the first quarter of 1995
compared to the fourth quarter of 1994.  As a result,
a higher percent of shipments made during the quarter
were converted into cash collections before the period
ended.  Revenue levels also contributed to the decline
in trade accounts receivable as seasonally strong
fourth quarter revenues were $96,784 compared to
$84,711 in the first quarter of 1995.


OTHER ASSETS

Other assets increased to $28,479 at March 31, 1995
from $28,090 at year-end 1994.  Net capitalized
software development costs increased by $828 as
capitalization and amortization were $1,964 and
$1,136, respectively, during the first quarter of
1995.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total capital expenditures increased to $3,830 through
March 31, 1995, compared to $3,125 for the same period
of 1994.  The increase in capital expenditures is a
result of costs associated with a new global
information system.  These expenditures will continue
as the year progresses.  The Company anticipates that
current cash balances, anticipated cash flows from
operating activities, and existing credit facilities
will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs
for at least the next twelve months.
