While providing continuity for CST’s customers, Dassault Systèmes will integrate CST’s solutions into its existing portfolio of industry solution experiences for simulating structural mechanics, multi-body systems, heat transfer and fluids, to address the growing $600 million EM simulation market. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the ideal foundation upon which we can pursue our vision of combining our technologies to set the industry standard for realistic simulation and best meet our customers’ needs.” “Increasingly, multiphysics have to be addressed during the design process in order to develop the most robust products and systems. Bernhard Wagner, one of the Managing Directors of CST. “We know firsthand the formidable design hurdles our customers face today,” said Dr. “The acquisition of CST is part of our larger, ongoing mission to provide 3DEXPERIENCE universes to explore, accelerate and experience innovation that will achieve a greater harmony between product, nature and life.” “Electromagnetism is an essential part of a multiphysics simulation strategy for the development of smart and connected products, and IoT devices-from their complex design, to ensuring the performance, reliability and safety of their interactions with their surrounding environment,” said Bernard Charlès, Vice Chairman and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. CST’s 2015 revenue was about 47 million euros. Customers include Airbus Defence and Space, Bosch Group, Frauscher Sensor Technology and Sirona.
CST’s CST STUDIO SUITE software is used by designers and engineers at more than 2,000 leading companies in the high-tech, transportation and mobility, aerospace and defense, and energy industries to evaluate all types of EM effects during every stage of electronic system design processes.
With the acquisition of CST, based near Frankfurt, Germany, Dassault Systèmes will complement its industry solution experiences for realistic multiphysics simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with full spectrum EM simulation.
