About Flomerics

Flomerics is a world-leading player in the rapidly-expanding fields of "virtual prototyping" and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). We provide engineering simulation software and consultancy services for analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer and electromagnetic radiation. Using Flomerics' software and consultancy services, our customers accelerate their design processes, dramatically reduce costs and optimize proposed designs by predicting product behavior before building physical prototypes. Flomerics' approach to engineering analysis is drastically different from traditional analysis because our software is designed to be embedded deeply into the design process and used by mainstream design engineers, not only by analysis specialists.

Flomerics software products and services are based around four distinct lines of business:

Electronics Cooling

Flomerics is the clear market leader in thermal simulation of electronic equipment, with a client list including virtually all the major electronics companies in the world. We provide an integrated suite of software tools for thermal analysis of individual IC packages, circuit boards, and complete electronic systems. Our software removes communication barriers between electrical and mechanical engineers enabling fast resolution of thermal management problems that are traditionally difficult, expensive and time-consuming to resolve. Customers achieve significant cost reductions and design cycle compression through using our software either as point solutions or as an Integrated Analysis Environment. Through our MicReD subsidiary we offer thermal testing equipment that complements the software simulation business.

Engineering Fluid Dynamics

Flomerics's EFD product family is a new breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that enables mechanical design engineers to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes across a wide range of products and industries. 7 key technologies distinguish the EFD product family from traditional CFD software, making it quicker and easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. The EFD product family is tightly embedded with leading 3D mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER and CATIA V5. In the case of SolidWorks, the product is sold through the SolidWorks sales channel under the brand name COSMOSFloWorks.

Building Heating adnd Ventilation

Predicting 3D high-frequency electromagnetic radiation is an increasingly important requirement for many different industries and application areas. Understanding and optimizing the performance of antenna and microwave devices for all types of wireless systems is crucial for the telecommunications, military, automotive and aerospace industries. For the electronics industry, containing electromagnetic emissions from electronic equipment to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is also a key legal requirement. All these application areas are addressed by Flomerics?electromagnetic simulation software tools and services.

Company History

The desire to create a new kind of engineering analysis company led to the creation of Flomerics in June 1988. Customer demand was strong, particularly in the USA, and in September 1990 Flomerics Inc. was established as a wholly-owned US subsidiary based in Massachusetts handling all Flomerics business in the Americas.

Flomerics continued to grow rapidly from 1990 to 1995, and in December 1995 floated on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (AIM).

Also in 1995, Flomerics launched the magazine "ElectronicsCooling" which now has a global circulation of over 12,000 subscribers and is firmly established as the premier trade magazine for all aspects of thermal management in the electronics industries. During the 1990's, Flomerics also led two collaborative EU research projects that established new standards and methodologies for thermal characterization of electronic packages. This pioneering work introduced the concept of "compact" thermal models and has had a radical effect on industry-wide practices for both measurement and simulation of the thermal behavior of packages.

By the late 1990s FLOTHERM had become clearly established as the global market leader in thermal analysis software for electronics, with a customer base including virtually all leading companies in all sectors of the electronics industries.

Building on this foundation, Flomerics recognized other critical needs for engineering analysis within the same customer base, such as high-frequency electromagnetic analysis to help customers in the electronics industry ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in their products. In 1999 Flomerics acquired Kimberley Communications Consultants Ltd, a UK-based electromagnetic software company whose MicroStripes product was ideally suited to meet these emerging customer needs.

In 2005, Flomerics acquired the Hungarian-based thermal test equipment company, MicReD. The addition of this world-leading technology to Flomerics portfolio represents an important step in providing a complete, integrated solution to our customers in the electronics industry.

In 2006 Flomerics acquired the German-based company Nika GmbH together with a new breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software known as Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD). The EFD.Lab, EFD.Pro, EFD.V5 and COSMOSFloWorks products acquired with Nika have enabled Flomerics to expand into new markets and broaden the range of products sold and supported through our extensive world-wide operations.

International Infrastructure

Flomerics is and has always been committed to establishing local sales and support offices and dedicated agents to provide the best possible service to overseas customers wherever possible. This strategy has been vitally important to Flomerics in building international sales and maintaining global market leadership. Flomerics' international sales achievements - a consistent level of non-UK business running at almost 90% - were recognized in 2000 by the presentation of a "Queen's Award for Enterprise" in the International Trade category.
