AspenTech buys German firm SolidSim Engineering
Aspen Technology (AspenTech), a provider of software and services to the process industries, has acquired SolidSim Engineering GmbH, a Germany-based provider of solids process modeling software.
SolidSim software is used by a number of leading process manufacturing companies to model those parts of their processes that involve solids, officials said.
The addition of SolidSim builds on existing solids process modeling capabilities in aspenONE Engineering software, according to AspenTech.
The combination of SolidSim and aspenONE Engineering software will eventually enable end users to model the entire facility as one single model consisting of both solids and non-solids process sections, officials said.
This will allow both process engineers and particle technology engineers to work within a single modeling environment, increasing collaboration and driving increased value from enhanced process optimization for customers in the chemicals, specialty chemicals, energy and pharmaceutical industries.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
