On 22 December 2008, Autodesk, Inc. completed the acquisition of iLogic software and related technology from Canada-based Logimetrix, Inc. and substantially all of the assets of BIMWorld, a privately-owned business specializing in the production and distribution of branded BIM content for building product manufacturers. Terms were not disclosed for either acquisition. The iLogic/Logimetrix acquisition supports Autodesk's commitment to providing a comprehensive Digital Prototyping solution to manufacturers of all sizes, giving them the ability to design, visualize and simulate their products before they are built, reducing the reliance on constructing multiple physical prototypes. The addition of the iLogic technology will strengthen the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping by bringing user-friendly tools for rules-based design and automation to mainstream manufacturers. The BIMWorld acquisition will enable Autodesk to accelerate engagement with building product manufacturers and expand the content available in Autodesk Seek, its online source for building product design information into which the BIMWorld business will be combined.
