Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT), today announced that
it has acquired the Flowmaster Group, a global leader in 1D
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software for system
design. 1D CFD solutions allow for very rapid engineering design of
complex fluid flow network systems like water-cooled electronic
racks, automotive vehicle thermal management, and aerospace fuel
systems. This acquisition consolidates the position of Mentor
Graphics as the first EDA company to move into the adjacent
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) mechanical analysis space.
The Flowmaster Group is a Dutch owned, UK-based international
organization with over twenty years experience providing
industry-leading, thermo-fluid systems simulation software to the
aerospace, automotive, marine, oil and gas, power generation,
process, rail and water industries. Flowmaster software is used by
a wide range of engineering professionals to improve complex
internal fluid systems from conceptual idea to finalized design.
Flowmaster provides users with greater systems insight and
foresight upfront of system development cycles significantly
reducing the overall timescales involved.
The acquisition of Flowmaster complements the acquisition of
Flomerics Limited by Mentor Graphics in 2008, the leading player in
the general purpose, 3D multi-CAD embedded CFD and 3D electronics
cooling thermal analysis sectors, and broadens the Mentor Graphics
portfolio in the CFD space. The combination of the CFD software
products and services from Mentor Graphics and Flowmaster, both
targeted at engineers, designers and analysts, is expected to
provide the most comprehensive set of upfront and concurrent CFD
design tools available in the market today. The terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.
"We are very excited about the technical expertise and industry
leading solutions that Flowmaster adds to our mechanical analysis
simulation capabilities," said Erich Buergel, general Manager,
Mechanical Analysis Division, Mentor Graphics. "Both companies have
world-class products in their respective sectors, a loyal set of
customers and employees, and share a passion for pioneering fast
design tools for engineers. This unique combination of solutions
will allow us to meet the reliability, cost efficiencies, and
time-to-market pressures of our respective user bases throughout
the world, enhancing the quest for real-time engineering design
solutions for a wide range of industries. We are impressed by the
strong customer base and the existing relationships. We recognize
the importance of a strong stable foundation which will be the
platform for future innovations.”
"The acquisition by Mentor Graphics brings together two
companies with market-leading pedigrees and a shared vision for
design tools to provide the unique goal of real-time, 1D-3D CFD
solutions and decision making,” said Alan Berry, CEO of the
Flowmaster Group. "Our two R&D teams and complementary industry
strengths will accelerate our ability to deliver innovative
simulation software technologies to our customers, thereby
enhancing their product design and as a result their competitive
advantage."
