VISTAGY, INC. LAUNCHES NEW VERSIONS OF ENCAPTA AND FIBERSIM AT NDES, BOOTH #7911
15 January 2002 - VISTAGY

VISTAGY, Inc., will announce new versions of its FiberSIM and EnCapta design software at the National Design Engineering Show (NDES). NDES takes place during National Manufacturing Week and is held March 18-21, 2002, in Chicago.

EnCapta is computer-aided design (CAD) integrated software that enables engineers to capture, structure, and communicate the specialized non-geometric design data that are vital for complete product definition. The software provides customizable templates for defining the type and structure of specialized information such as design details, cost estimates, engineering change orders, materials specifications, and assembly instructions that are often stored separately from the CAD model. The templates then enable engineers to associate this vital information with the relevant CAD geometry and features while working in his familiar design environment. XML tools provide a means for sharing the captured data with other applications throughout the enterprise, eliminating costly and error prone re-entry of data.

New EnCapta 2.0 software provides connectivity to enterprise databases, and tight integration with PDM and other engineering applications such as finite element analysis (FEA) software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and cost estimation programs. EnCapta 2.0 also offers increased capabilities for customizing templates and an enhanced user interface.

The FiberSIM suite of software enables engineers working with sophisticated computer-aided-design (CAD) systems to create products made of lightweight, high-performance composite materials. FiberSIM also generates manufacturing data and documentation for composite parts. The software provides tools for managing geometric and non-geometric design data about composites as well as specialized analytical tools like producibility simulation and flat pattern generation.

New FiberSIM 4.0 software includes an updated user interface that allows designers to edit the table views of composites data. The software also incorporates XML tools for sharing specialized design information about composite parts with other applications, including finite element analysis software, enterprise resource planning systems, and costing programs.

About: VISTAGY
VISTAGY, Inc., is a leading developer of engineering software that enhances commercial 3D CAD systems. VISTAGY’s specialized engineering environments enable engineers to capture and communicate complete digital product definitions within CAD, thereby increasing productivity, improving the communication of product information throughout the product’s lifecycle, and allowing better-informed decision making early in design. VISTAGY software is used throughout the world in the aerospace, automotive, marine, medical, sporting goods, and transportation interiors industries. The company also offers training and consulting services.

FiberSIM is a suite of software that turns major CAD systems into advanced tools for designing and manufacturing composite parts. The software enables engineers to create a complete digital product definition of a composite part within their 3D modeling environment. FiberSIM supports flexible design methodologies for a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes and automatically generates design details all the way from complex ply and zone drop-offs to variable offset surfaces for mock-up and tooling. The software simulates how composite material deforms over complex curvature and generates manufacturing information including documentation, flat patterns, and data to drive downstream manufacturing equipment. FiberSIM also uses XML technology to share composites data with people and applications throughout the enterprise.
