CST has upgraded its 3D EM field solver palette with a new module based on the multilevel fast multipole method.
Furthermore, Flomerics' strong position in the EMC market and related specialised product features will offer new possibilities to CST's users, also operating in this market.
"Flomerics has decided to focus on maintaining its leadership position in electronics thermal analysis and growing its market share in general-purpose CFD", says Gary Carter, Chief Executive of Flomerics.
"We chose to sell the business to CST to ensure first-class ongoing support and the commitment to providing the best tools in the business for electromagnetics simulation".
All MicroStripes and Flo/EMC customers will continue to receive full technical support from CST.
CST will continue to provide further updates for MicroStripes customers and expects to continue to support and enhance the transfer of geometry from Flotherm models to MicroStripes and Flo/EMC.
This transaction further increases CST's share in the 3D EM simulation market, and signals the beginning of a strategic relationship between Flomerics and CST.
Customers will benefit from using a combination of world-leading analysis software products from the two companies.
Flomerics and CST will be working together to ensure that Flomerics EM staff will be offered continuous employment by CST, including those in sales, support, engineering and R and D roles.
This also ensures the best possible ongoing support and future migration path for customers.
"The acquisition of the Flomerics EM business line and its TLM technology follows CST's strategy of providing the most complete technological offering for the high frequency EM market", says Dr Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, CST.
"We will ensure a high level of continuity for all users of the MicroStripes and Flo/EMC products and are looking forward to working closely with all customers".
