Siemens grows EDA portfolio, adds Infolytica EM simulation with buy-out
This move brings Infolytica’s MagNet and Motorsolve software plus domain expertise for low frequency, in areas such as electric motors, generators and electromagnetic device design, accelerating development of reliable and optimized solutions for electric and electromagnetic devices such as electric machines, transformers as well as sensors, induction heating, MRI, and shielding. The Infolytica business will be incorporated into the Mechanical Analysis Division of Mentor, a Siemens business.

The addition of Infolytica enhances Siemens’ Simcenter portfolio for simulation and test, which covers mechanical, thermal, fluid dynamics and electromagnetic simulations. Infolytica’s products are used in the design of high-performance electromechanical products across industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, electrical appliances, medical equipment, heavy industry and power generation.
“From our inception we were always dedicated to providing leading software solutions for the engineering community,” said Professor David Lowther, CEO and co-founder of Infolytica. “We offer high-powered 3D electromagnetic simulation including inter-operability to other analysis packages and CAD, plus our MotorSolve product is a unique motor and drive design application.”
Roland Feldhinkel, general manager of the Mechanical Analysis Division of Mentor, adds, “Infolytica brings domain expertise and state-of-the-art electromagnetic simulation to Siemens. It is a perfect fit for Siemens’ and Mentor‘s combined strategy of providing full-physics and integrated engineering solutions. We especially look forward to those combined offerings in electromagnetics and thermal engineering for electrification of transportation and autonomous vehicles.”
