Computer Simulation Technology buys IdemWorks for modeling tools and services
IdEM is a user friendly tool for the generation of SPICE-ready macromodels of electrical interconnect structures such as packages, connectors, via fields, discontinuities up to backplane links and complete power delivery networks. Starting from their input-output port responses, derived from measurement or simulation, IdEM provides accurate, proven, passive and causal broadband computational models that can be used in any circuit simulation environment for reliable transient and AC analyses.
Through this acquisition, CST will gain access to complementary, state of the art modeling technologies, based on best-in-class algorithms. IdemWorks will continue developing, supporting and selling their modelling tools, thus maintaining customer business continuity.
The IdemWorks team has a strong application-oriented scientific background which is key to solving challenging modeling problems and bringing innovation to the market. Customers benefit from the speed, accuracy and stability of models generated by IdEM and the experience that has been gathered through many years of developing software tools and consultancy.
“The IdemWorks and CST teams will work closely to develop a roadmap of efficient enhancements and integrations that will leverage the best capabilities of the combined IdemWorks and CST products,” stated Michelangelo Bandinu, CEO of IdemWorks.
Prof. Stefano Grivet-Talocia, Founder of IdemWorks, says: “This acquisition is the natural evolution of IdemWorks. Since its foundation in 2007 as an academic spinoff, IdemWorks has been continuously growing, both in market share and in reputation. The time has come to combine our advanced model extraction algorithms with top-class field solver engines, and the technology leading set of tools in CST STUDIO SUITE is the optimal choice for us. The planned tight integration between the two platforms will lead to significant innovation in the near future, with major benefits for end users and customers.”
