ALENIAAERMACCHI SELECTS VISTAGY’S FIBERSIM 5.1 SOFTWARE AS COMPOSITE DESIGN TOOL FOR COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS
18 July 2006 - VISTAGY

VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized engineering software, today announced that AleniaAermacchi, one of the world’s most renowned jet manufacturers, has selected VISTAGY’s FiberSIM 5.1 software as its specialized composite design environment in the CATIA V5 CAD system. AleniaAermacchi engineers have used FiberSIM for more than two years on a variety of design projects and utilized the software to design, simulate and manufacture complex composite aircraft parts for commercial airliners.

With headquarters in Venegono, Italy, AleniaAermacchi turned to VISTAGY to help automate its end-to-end product development process. Using FiberSIM software, AleniaAermacchi engineers will generate detailed documentation early in the design phase, and efficiently share composites information and detail across the organization from within one design application. AleniaAermacchi will utilize FiberSIM’s zone-based design and new automated plybook capabilities to ensure products are designed and manufactured accurately, within specification, and meet the demanding deadlines of its current aerospace customers.

“VISTAGY has more than fifteen years of aerospace engineering expertise, and leading companies like AleniaAermacchi turn to us to help them innovate their aircraft designs and manufacture products that give them a competitive edge,” said Steve Luby, president and CEO at VISTAGY. “AleniaAermacchi is an important partner that prides itself on adopting the very latest design technology for more efficient and cost-effective product development. We look forward to continuing our work with AleniaAermacchi to improve the efficiency of their design processes for composite parts on commercial airliners.”

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.
