The CO-LaN Management Board has accepted on January 30, 2006 the application for Associate Membership submitted by SimTech Simulation Technology.

SimTech was founded in 1991 as a spin-off from Graz University of Technology, applying several years of research and development in the area of modeling and analysis of power processes. In 1992 Simtech started to commercialize the heat balance code IPSE. IPSE made it possible to create process models graphically by choosing components from a menu. IPSE was the first and for several years the only Microsoft Windows based heat balance code commercially available. In 1996 SimTech expanded their activity by introducing the modeling package IPSEpro. IPSEpro is a completely open modeling environment. In 1997 IPSE has been merged with IPSEpro, making IPSEpro SimTech's key product. In 2000 SimTech installed the first on-line optimization system based on IPSEpro. This was the first step in extending the focus of IPSEpro to the entire lifecycle of plants.

SimTech is considering introducing CAPE-OPEN interfaces in IPSEPro in order to boost IPSEPro openness.
