Sept 4 (Reuters) - British engineering software company Aveva Group (Frankfurt: A1W0MM - news) is set to unveil a 3 billion pound-plus ($3.9 billion) merger with the software arm of France's Schneider Electric (EUREX: SND1.EX - news) , Sky News reported on Monday.

The deal is expected to be announced on Tuesday and Aveva's board is said to be recommending the deal to its shareholders, the broadcaster reported.
