西門子收購ZONA Technology，強化Xcelerator氣候中和飛行能力
With the global drive toward climate-neutral aviation gaining pace and the rebirth of interest in supersonic travel, innovations in aircraft configurations require careful and diligent use of aerodynamic and structural design optimization. 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 addition of the ZONA Technology, Inc. technology to Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio will assist customers in making their digital threads as comprehensive and as efficient as possible to help speed innovation, ensure on-time and on-budget delivery of more sustainable aerospace invention.
隨著實現氣候中和飛行目標逐漸成為全球共識、超音速飛行重獲市場關注，在進行飛機配置創新時，氣動與結構設計的優化越來越重要。針對此需求，西門子數字化工業軟件近日收購了氣動彈性仿真解決方案供應商——ZONA Technology，進一步強化西門子Xcelerator的技術能力，幫助客戶建立全面、高效的數字主線，以在成本內快速實現可持續的航空航天創新。
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.
ZONA Technology的技術將被集成至西門子Simcenter軟件，幫助創建端到端機身結構設計與認證分析的數字主線，覆蓋從早期概念研究、到高保真航空結構優化、再到結構認證與文檔編制的全過程。ZONA Technology的高保真氣動彈性分析方法與西門子 Simcenter 的仿真技術相結合，可幫助客戶減少對第三方氣動彈性分析工具的依賴，取代互為脫節的機身分析、仿真和驗證工作流。
"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."
“在追求氣候中立的航空和超音速飛行重生的過程中，航空航天業正面臨著前所未有的技術挑戰，”西門子數字化工業軟件仿真和測試解決方案高級副總裁Jean-Claude Ercolanelli表示。“ZONA Technology的加入將進一步加強西門子Xcelerator的技術實力，為航空航天業的客戶構建全面、先進的端到端機身結構設計和認證工作流程。”
"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."
ZONA Technology公司首席執行官P.C. Chen表示：“我們很榮幸能夠加入西門子數字化工業軟件，利用我們在氣動彈性仿真領域的專長與技術，增強飛機結構與機身設計的數字主線。通過在飛行物理特性與結構部門之間實現連續的數字化連接，飛機制造商可減少迭代數量，加快機身結構認證，進而按時、按預算交付創新飛機項目。”
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.
ZONA Technology總部位于美國亞利桑那州的Scottsdale，自1988年以來一直致力于為航空航天業提供商業軟件，ZONA Technology專注于氣動彈性仿真技術，幫助全球多家飛機原始設備制造商預測飛行載荷與顫振行為。
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2022. Terms are not disclosed.
該收購預計于2022年下半年完成。交易條款未予披露。
