As previously announced at the CONVERGE User Group Meeting 2014, Convergent Science, Inc. (CSI) has acquired the majority shares in Ignite3d Engineering GmbH and renamed the company Convergent Science GmbH (CSG). CSG’s management includes Rainer Rothbauer, former owner of Ignite3d, as the General Manager. The company base is nestled between the Alps and the hills of Mühlviertel in Linz, Austria and overlooks the Danube River.
“The formation of Convergent Science GmbH allows us to inject the necessary resources to support the European market with a world-class team of CFD experts. Automotive companies in the United States and Asia are already embracing our technology, and we expect similar growth in Europe. Adoption of the CONVERGE CFD software is a natural progression for the European industry as their engineers continue to stay at the forefront of technology and innovation,” says Kelly Senecal, co-owner of Convergent Science GmbH and Convergent Science, Inc.
Convergent Science GmbH has a team of application engineers working to ensure the highest level of support to the European industry. Led by Rothbauer, the team brings a wealth of CFD knowledge to Convergent Science, particularly in the area of combustion simulations. Says Rothbauer, “As a distributor, Ignite3d was able to introduce CONVERGE to the European market. Now with the full resources of CSI behind us, Convergent Science GmbH will be able to take the European CONVERGE business to the next level. We are excited to be part of the CSI family.”
