<h2 id="corporate-history">Corporate history</h2> <p>The original Jack software company was called Transom. It was sold to <a href="/facts/Engineering_Animation,_Inc./X1KKavb2">Engineering Animation, Inc.</a> (EAI) which later was acquired by <a href="/facts/UGS_Corp./DtPC6HWh">Unigraphics Solutions</a> (UGS). Unigraphics was then re-incorporated into <a href="/facts/Electronic_Data_Systems/JeGRgzBE">Electronic Data Systems</a> (EDS) and then spun off again as a privately held company called UGS. After the acquisition of <a href="/facts/Tecnomatix/PsmeqBS7">Tecnomatix</a>, Jack became officially part of the Tecnomatix product line. UGS was eventually acquired by <a href="/facts/Siemens/coa80TQn">Siemens</a>. </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161202165106/http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/tecnomatix/manufacturing-simulation/human-ergonomics/jack.shtml">Jack product website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/tecnomatix/assembly_planning/index.shtml">Tecnomatix Assembly Planning and Validation</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Human Modeling Archived November 7, 2008, at the Wayback Machine <a href="https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/nx/design/human.shtml" target="_blank">https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/nx/design/human.shtml</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:2"><p>FBA white paper Archived August 28, 2008, at the Wayback Machine <a href="http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/technologies/mp04-fba/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/technologies/mp04-fba/index.htm</a> <a href="#fnref:2" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:3"><p>N.
