Software for electrical systems design and wire harness engineering.
COMSA Computer und Software in December 2018.Antares in 1995 Model Technology and Exemplar Logic subsidiaries were combined to form Antares.Mentor joined the company’s PLM Software division. In March 2017, Siemens acquired Mentor Graphics for $4.5 billion. Calibre, Catapult and Questa are Mentor’s other platform names, among many. Mentor’s design-for-test software platform is Tessent, which is now part of Siemen’s Xcelerator portfolio. The combined company ranked 70th on Fortune’s list of Global500 companies.

System and software revenues are derived primarily from term software license contracts, typically lasting three to four years. It serves a wide variety of markets ranging from communications, consumer electronics, semiconductors, networking, multimedia, mil/aero and transportation. It also develops tools for wire harness systems and computational fluid dynamics. It provides a complete semiconductor design flow that includes simulation, emulation, place and route, verification, design for manufacturing, and test. Siemens EDA is a broad line supplier of EDA tools.
