Established in 2006 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company focused on advanced 3D electromagnetic simulation tools designed to address signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), electromagnetic interference (EMI), as well as Simultaneous Switching Noise/Output (SSN/SSO) integrity challenges. Additionally, Nimbic offered secure cloud-based computing services tailored for electronic design processes.

In May 2014, Mentor Graphics acquired Nimbic. Subsequently, Mentor Graphics itself was purchased by Siemens and rebranded under the Siemens EDA name.
