S&A revenues grew to just over $4.3 billion in 2013. This reflects the importance of simulation and analysis as part of product development. CIMdata expects the market will be rapidly growing over the next five years, and it will exceed $6.2 billion in 2018.

“Simulation and Analysis is being transformed from a tool that has been the analog of physical test for design validation to an essential capability for up-front product definition verification,” said Keith Meintjes,  practice manager for simulation and analysis at CIMdata. “Vendors are responding by rounding out their portfolios with acquisitions and alliances for systems engineering, simulation, materials properties, topology optimization, multiphysics, and other areas of systems design and analysis.”
