Autodesk Offers Composite Solution by Acquiring Firehole
 
Autodesk Inc., has announced that it completed the acquisition of a Wyoming-based developer of software for design and analysis of composite materials.

"As manufacturers move to more complex material such as light weight composites, new simulation technology is required to predict and optimize the performance of these materials,” said Buzz Kross, Autodesk senior vice president for design, lifecycle and simulation products. “This acquisition will enable Autodesk to deliver this technology to a broad spectrum of design and engineering industries. The Firehole team will add significant expertise in next-generation materials and nonlinear analysis, as well as industry-leading technologies that strongly complement our solutions for structural, thermal and plastics analysis."

Autodesk plans to integrate Firehole Composites technology with Autodesk titles.

EDS Technologies Pvt Ltd, Direct Value Added Reseller in India for Autodesk Manufacturing and Simulation products, will extend its support for customer and prospects on Composites solutions.
