Siemens acquires ZONA Technology, Inc; increases Xcelerator capabilities for climate-neutral aviation
Siemens Digital Industries Software today announces that it entered into an agreement to acquire ZONA Technology, Inc., a renowned specialist in the field of aeroelastic simulation solutions.
The ZONA Technology, Inc.
technology will become part of Siemens’ Simcenter™ software portfolio, allowing
the creation of a unique end-to-end airframe structure design and certification
analysis digital thread, beginning with early concept studies, through
high-fidelity aero-structural optimization and to the structural certification
and documentation. The combination of ZONA Technology, Inc. high fidelity
aeroelastic methods and industry leading Simcenter simulation can reduce
dependency on third-party aeroelasticity tools and replace disjointed workflows
for airframe analysis, simulation and verification.
"The aerospace
industry is facing unprecedented technological challenges as it pursues the
complexity of both climate-neutral aviation and the rebirth of supersonic
travel," said Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, Senior Vice President, Simulation
and Test Solutions, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "The addition of ZONA
Technology, Inc. capabilities to the Xcelerator portfolio will help to support
our customers going further with their digital transformation and will
strengthen Siemens effort to build a comprehensive and cutting-edge end-to-end
airframe structure design and certification workflow to the Aerospace
industry."
"We are excited to
join Siemens Digital Industries Software and bring our expertise and technology
for aeroelastic simulation to improve the digital thread for aircraft
structures and airframe design," said P.C. Chen, CEO, ZONA Technology, Inc.
"A continuous digital connection between the flight physics and structural
departments can reduce the number of iterations and speed up the airframe
structure certification for aircraft companies striving to launch innovative
new aircraft programs on time and on budget."
Based in Scottsdale
Arizona, ZONA Technology, Inc. has been serving the aerospace community with
commercial software since 1988, with a primary focus on aeroelastic simulation
technology which helps to predict flight loads and flutter behavior. It is used
by some of the world’s largest aircraft OEMs.
The transaction is expected to close in the
second half of calendar year 2022. Terms are not disclosed. Learn more about
