Cadence Completes NUMECA Acquisition

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced that it has completed the acquisition of NUMECA International. According to Cadence, the addition of NUMECA’s technologies and talent supports the Cadence Intelligent System Design strategy and broadens its system analysis portfolio with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions. These products will contribute to Cadence system analysis solutions for integrated circuits (ICs), electronic subsystems and full system designs. NUMECA’s technologies serve several industries including aerospace, automotive, industrial and marine, and have been adopted by industry leaders such as NASA, ArianeGroup, Honda and Ford.

The deal was first announced in January 2021.

“Next-generation products and systems require comprehensive multi-physics engineering solutions encompassing IP, semiconductors, IC packaging, modules, boards, complex mechanical structures and more,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager of the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “With the addition of NUMECA’s technology to the Cadence portfolio, we are broadening our system analysis capabilities and integrated design solutions, addressing critical customer challenges in areas such as internal and external flows, acoustics, heat transfer, fluid-structure interaction and optimization.”
