Flomerics Group has purchased NIKA GmbH, an engineering fluid dynamics software company based in Frankfurt, Germany that specializes in simulation tools for the prediction of fluid flow and heat transfer. NIKA’s technology enhances Flomerics’ existing product range and gives access to a wider potential customer base of design engineers outside Flomerics’ existing core market.

“The proposed NIKA acquisition helps Flomerics consolidate our leading position in our core markets such as electronic thermal analysis, and at the same time it opens up a whole new market opportunity in putting complex CFD technology into the hands of mechanical designers,” said Gary Carter, CEO of Flowmerics. “NIKA brings us new, cutting-edge technology, new products, new customers and new strategic partnerships.”
