Cadence Design Systems announced that it has acquired Pointwise to expand system analysis offerings addressing CFD (computational fluid dynamics) meshing for aerospace applications.

The addition of Pointwise’s technologies and experienced team supports the Cadence Intelligent System Design strategy and further broadens its system analysis portfolio, complementing the recently acquired NUMECA CFD technology. Together, these acquisitions will enable advanced CFD solutions where accuracy, reliability, predictability and performance are paramount for high-fidelity characterization of fluids, such as air flowing over an airplane.

“Cadence’s computational software expertise and expanding multiphysics portfolio are accelerating digital wind tunnel experimentation for the aerospace industry,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager of the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “The acquisition of Pointwise’s proven CFD meshing technology catapults Cadence into a leadership position by addressing critical complexities in the analysis workflow, giving engineering teams rapid insight, predictability and high accuracy of their system design well before physical production.”

“Pointwise is dedicated to delivering industry-leading mesh generation capabilities,” said John Chawner, president of Pointwise. “We are very excited to enhance Cadence’s CFD strategy with our deep meshing expertise and talented team. The combined technologies of Cadence, NUMECA and Pointwise significantly expand Cadence’s CFD and electromechanical analysis solutions, customer base and engineering talent.”
