Fluent公司同Ansys公司已決定整合，下面從剛得到的一些內(nèi)幕消息來(lái)分析今后CFD軟件及技術(shù)的發(fā)展方向。
內(nèi)幕部分內(nèi)容
Who will lead the new company after closing?
Jim Cashman will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of ANSYS, and Bart Patel, currently Chief Executive Officer of Fluent, will continue to support the company in a consulting capacity. In addition, Ferit Boysan, currently President and Chief Operating Officer of Fluent, will head up the Fluids Business Unit (FBU) after closing. Chris Reid, currently Vice President & General Manager – Fluids Business Unit, will lead the global Marketing organization of ANSYS.
Financial
What are Fluent’s and ANSYS's revenues?
ANSYS 2005 revenue was $153.3 million.
Fluent 2005 revenue was $121.9 million.
From a GAAP perspective, at the closing ANSYS will write down a portion of Fluent’s deferred revenue causing Fluent’s GAAP revenues in 2006 to be negatively impacted; however, this is a non-cash impact and, consistent with ANSYS practices, adjusted financial results will be reported as if the deferred revenue write-down was not required under purchase accounting.
What happens to the Fluent and ANSYS brands?
The importance of the brand is what it connotes to the customer. Customers come first. Initially, this will mean maintaining brand identity. Over time our evolving continuous relationship might take us to new levels. It should be noted that all major brands acquired by ANSYS are still in existence.
How many employees does Fluent have?
Fluent and its subsidiaries have approximately 750 employees worldwide. Offices are located in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Japan, China and India.
How many employees does ANSYS have?
ANSYS and its subsidiaries have approximately 600 employees worldwide. Offices are located in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, Canada and India. In addition to its direct sales offices, ANSYS distributes and supports its products through a global network of channel partners. This highly experienced channel of distribution and technical support currently provides over 40% of the company’s revenues.
How does Fluent fit into the overall structure at ANSYS?
Fluent will remain a separate subsidiary after closing and will operate as a separate business unit.
今后CFD走向分析
從人事變動(dòng)上可以看到，F(xiàn)luent公司的現(xiàn)總裁將領(lǐng)導(dǎo)今后新公司的整體的CFD產(chǎn)品系列（Fluent，CFX，ICEM CFD等），而老Ansys公司的負(fù)責(zé)流體的副總裁將負(fù)責(zé)新公司的市場(chǎng)，從人員調(diào)整可以看到今后對(duì)于新公司而言，流體軟件部分將以Fluent為主線，沿著Fluent產(chǎn)品的發(fā)展思路延續(xù)下去。
從公司規(guī)模可以看到，去年Ansys公司同F(xiàn)luent公司的規(guī)模相當(dāng)，這次與其說(shuō)是收購(gòu)，不如說(shuō)是強(qiáng)強(qiáng)聯(lián)合。去年Fluent公司的年增長(zhǎng)率約為 16%，是一家財(cái)務(wù)狀況非常健康的公司。Fluent公司之所以決定同Ansys公司整合，關(guān)鍵在于Ansys公司籌集到了5.68億美元的巨額費(fèi)用， Fluent公司的股票持有者有著巨大的收益，為何不賣(mài)？對(duì)比2003年Ansys收購(gòu)CFX公司時(shí)，CFX公司已經(jīng)是第三年的虧損，在2002年CFX 虧了近500萬(wàn)美元，所以在2003年初Ansys公司僅以2000萬(wàn)美元的代價(jià)吃進(jìn)了CFX。因此從Ansys公司花費(fèi)的代價(jià)差異方面，只要是正常人， Fluent及CFX對(duì)于新公司而言，誰(shuí)更重要這一點(diǎn)是不言而喻的！由于CFX和Fluent是同類(lèi)的CFD產(chǎn)品，當(dāng)年Ansys公司在收購(gòu)CFX公司之后這幾年的運(yùn)作并沒(méi)有達(dá)到使CFX軟件占據(jù)優(yōu)勢(shì)的CFD市場(chǎng)，F(xiàn)luent軟件的市場(chǎng)仍遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)CFX，因此這次Ansys公司再痛下血本（Ansys收購(gòu)Fluent的費(fèi)用絕大部分來(lái)源于銀行貸款）完成了這次并構(gòu)。
通常對(duì)于一個(gè)公司而言，同類(lèi)的產(chǎn)品不會(huì)同時(shí)維持，尤其是軟件產(chǎn)品，因此Fluent同CFX肯定會(huì)整合（消減研發(fā)人員及維護(hù)成本），因此就存在一個(gè)主次的問(wèn)題，即今后的新Ansys公司的CFD產(chǎn)品是更多偏向Fluent軟件還是CFX？
從Fluent公司并入新公司后仍保持獨(dú)立的運(yùn)行機(jī)構(gòu)而言，同時(shí)Fluent公司擁有龐大的員工隊(duì)伍（對(duì)應(yīng)的Fluent流體研發(fā)工程師），而老 Ansys公司對(duì)應(yīng)的CFX方面的流體研發(fā)工程師要少的多，本著少數(shù)服從多數(shù)的原則，新公司的流體技術(shù)肯定將沿用Fluent軟件的技術(shù)及思路，逐步將 CFX的某些有特點(diǎn)的技術(shù)提取來(lái)完善Fluent產(chǎn)品，CFX將逐漸淡出。這種整合的實(shí)例在IT界比比皆是。
品牌的號(hào)召力，做CFD的行內(nèi)人士都知道，F(xiàn)luent擁有絕對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)的市場(chǎng)地位及品牌號(hào)召力。從去年兩個(gè)公司的收入對(duì)比可以看到，F(xiàn)luent品牌去年的收入是1.2億美元，而Ansys所有的產(chǎn)品（包含流體軟件、結(jié)構(gòu)軟件及其它軟件）也不過(guò)是1.5億美元，其中CFX等流體軟件的總收入在3000萬(wàn)美元左右，F(xiàn)luent品牌每年收益的價(jià)值是CFX&ICEMCFD等的4倍。對(duì)任何正常的公司而言，如果兩個(gè)東西只能選一個(gè)的話，那么肯定會(huì)保留有絕對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)的！
從上面新公司合并后的一些特點(diǎn)分析可以看到，由于有如下幾個(gè)因素：
品牌價(jià)值、號(hào)召力
市場(chǎng)地位
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層構(gòu)成
軟件技術(shù)狀態(tài)
公司員工構(gòu)成
。。。。。
Fluent公司同Ansys公司完成并構(gòu)后，大家可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，新公司所推出的CFD軟件將類(lèi)似Fluent軟件的風(fēng)格及特點(diǎn)，對(duì)于老的Fluent軟件用戶而言應(yīng)該說(shuō)是一個(gè)好消息。
CFD技術(shù)的動(dòng)向
Fluent同Ansys的并構(gòu)將對(duì)CFD技術(shù)的發(fā)展產(chǎn)生巨大的影響，Ansys公司過(guò)去一直宣揚(yáng)多物理場(chǎng)模擬、整合的概念，而過(guò)去流體相關(guān)的技術(shù)一直是 Ansys公司的弱項(xiàng)，此次兩強(qiáng)的合并，將極大促進(jìn)多物理場(chǎng)模擬技術(shù)的發(fā)展，一個(gè)非常典型的應(yīng)用將實(shí)現(xiàn)：結(jié)構(gòu)－流體－電磁－其它關(guān)聯(lián)場(chǎng)的耦合，大家過(guò)去關(guān)心的FSI（流體結(jié)構(gòu)的瞬態(tài)耦合）問(wèn)題在不遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)會(huì)更加方便的實(shí)現(xiàn)。
總之這次的合并將改變整個(gè)CAE領(lǐng)域的格局，開(kāi)創(chuàng)一個(gè)新的CAE發(fā)展空間。對(duì)于CFD方面而言，這也將會(huì)是一個(gè)里程碑！

今后CFD走向分析
從人事變動(dòng)上可以看到，F(xiàn)luent公司的現(xiàn)總裁將領(lǐng)導(dǎo)今后新公司的整體的CFD產(chǎn)品系列（Fluent，CFX，ICEM CFD等），而老Ansys公司的負(fù)責(zé)流體的副總裁將負(fù)責(zé)新公司的市場(chǎng)，從人員調(diào)整可以看到今后對(duì)于新公司而言，流體軟件部分將以Fluent為主線，沿著Fluent產(chǎn)品的發(fā)展思路延續(xù)下去。
從公司規(guī)模可以看到，去年Ansys公司同F(xiàn)luent公司的規(guī)模相當(dāng)，這次與其說(shuō)是收購(gòu)，不如說(shuō)是強(qiáng)強(qiáng)聯(lián)合。去年Fluent公司的年增長(zhǎng)率約為 16%，是一家財(cái)務(wù)狀況非常健康的公司。Fluent公司之所以決定同Ansys公司整合，關(guān)鍵在于Ansys公司籌集到了5.68億美元的巨額費(fèi)用， Fluent公司的股票持有者有著巨大的收益，為何不賣(mài)？對(duì)比2003年Ansys收購(gòu)CFX公司時(shí)，CFX公司已經(jīng)是第三年的虧損，在2002年CFX 虧了近500萬(wàn)美元，所以在2003年初Ansys公司僅以2000萬(wàn)美元的代價(jià)吃進(jìn)了CFX。因此從Ansys公司花費(fèi)的代價(jià)差異方面，只要是正常人， Fluent及CFX對(duì)于新公司而言，誰(shuí)更重要這一點(diǎn)是不言而喻的！由于CFX和Fluent是同類(lèi)的CFD產(chǎn)品，當(dāng)年Ansys公司在收購(gòu)CFX公司之后這幾年的運(yùn)作并沒(méi)有達(dá)到使CFX軟件占據(jù)優(yōu)勢(shì)的CFD市場(chǎng)，F(xiàn)luent軟件的市場(chǎng)仍遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)CFX，因此這次Ansys公司再痛下血本（Ansys收購(gòu)Fluent的費(fèi)用絕大部分來(lái)源于銀行貸款）完成了這次并構(gòu)。
通常對(duì)于一個(gè)公司而言，同類(lèi)的產(chǎn)品不會(huì)同時(shí)維持，尤其是軟件產(chǎn)品，因此Fluent同CFX肯定會(huì)整合（消減研發(fā)人員及維護(hù)成本），因此就存在一個(gè)主次的問(wèn)題，即今后的新Ansys公司的CFD產(chǎn)品是更多偏向Fluent軟件還是CFX？
從Fluent公司并入新公司后仍保持獨(dú)立的運(yùn)行機(jī)構(gòu)而言，同時(shí)Fluent公司擁有龐大的員工隊(duì)伍（對(duì)應(yīng)的Fluent流體研發(fā)工程師），而老 Ansys公司對(duì)應(yīng)的CFX方面的流體研發(fā)工程師要少的多，本著少數(shù)服從多數(shù)的原則，新公司的流體技術(shù)肯定將沿用Fluent軟件的技術(shù)及思路，逐步將 CFX的某些有特點(diǎn)的技術(shù)提取來(lái)完善Fluent產(chǎn)品，CFX將逐漸淡出。這種整合的實(shí)例在IT界比比皆是。
品牌的號(hào)召力，做CFD的行內(nèi)人士都知道，F(xiàn)luent擁有絕對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)的市場(chǎng)地位及品牌號(hào)召力。從去年兩個(gè)公司的收入對(duì)比可以看到，F(xiàn)luent品牌去年的收入是1.2億美元，而Ansys所有的產(chǎn)品（包含流體軟件、結(jié)構(gòu)軟件及其它軟件）也不過(guò)是1.5億美元，其中CFX等流體軟件的總收入在3000萬(wàn)美元左右，F(xiàn)luent品牌每年收益的價(jià)值是CFX&ICEMCFD等的4倍。對(duì)任何正常的公司而言，如果兩個(gè)東西只能選一個(gè)的話，那么肯定會(huì)保留有絕對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)的！
從上面新公司合并后的一些特點(diǎn)分析可以看到，由于有如下幾個(gè)因素：
品牌價(jià)值、號(hào)召力
市場(chǎng)地位
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層構(gòu)成
軟件技術(shù)狀態(tài)
公司員工構(gòu)成
。。。。。
Fluent公司同Ansys公司完成并構(gòu)后，大家可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，新公司所推出的CFD軟件將類(lèi)似Fluent軟件的風(fēng)格及特點(diǎn)，對(duì)于老的Fluent軟件用戶而言應(yīng)該說(shuō)是一個(gè)好消息。
CFD技術(shù)的動(dòng)向
Fluent同Ansys的并構(gòu)將對(duì)CFD技術(shù)的發(fā)展產(chǎn)生巨大的影響，Ansys公司過(guò)去一直宣揚(yáng)多物理場(chǎng)模擬、整合的概念，而過(guò)去流體相關(guān)的技術(shù)一直是 Ansys公司的弱項(xiàng)，此次兩強(qiáng)的合并，將極大促進(jìn)多物理場(chǎng)模擬技術(shù)的發(fā)展，一個(gè)非常典型的應(yīng)用將實(shí)現(xiàn)：結(jié)構(gòu)－流體－電磁－其它關(guān)聯(lián)場(chǎng)的耦合，大家過(guò)去關(guān)心的FSI（流體結(jié)構(gòu)的瞬態(tài)耦合）問(wèn)題在不遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)會(huì)更加方便的實(shí)現(xiàn)。
總之這次的合并將改變整個(gè)CAE領(lǐng)域的格局，開(kāi)創(chuàng)一個(gè)新的CAE發(fā)展空間。對(duì)于CFD方面而言，這也將會(huì)是一個(gè)里程碑！
