UGS PLM Software, in an internal memo to employees late last week, announced that Tilo Brandis, president of the company now operating as a division of Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D), will be replaced by Helmuth Ludwig, who currently serves as president of Siemens Systems Engineering, a division of A&D.

Brandis, appointed president of the UGS PLM Software unit when the company's acquisition by Siemens closed in May, is unable to continue as president due to family health issues that will prevent him from relocating from Germany to UGS headquarters in Plano, TX, the memo said.

UGS officials declined to comment on the announcement.
