VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized
engineering software, today announced that Alenia Aeronautica, the
largest Italian aerospace manufacturer, is utilizing VISTAGY's
FiberSIM(R) software as its specialized composites design tool on the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner program. The company is streamlining its entire
product development process using FiberSIM to more quickly and
efficiently manufacture large, complex composite aircraft parts.
Alenia Aeronautica, a Finmeccanica company (FNC IM; SIFI.MI), has
more than ninety years of experience in the aerospace sector. The
company operates worldwide in the development of commercial and
military aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and aerostructures, and is
also active in the overhaul, maintenance and modification of military
and civil aircraft.
Alenia engineers have utilized FiberSIM's Advanced Composite
Engineering Environment(TM) (ACEE) to more efficiently and flexibly
define composite parts within existing CAD systems while automating
many of the repetitive design, simulation and manufacturing tasks
unique to working with composites. As a result, the company expects to
shorten design cycle times and mitigate the potential for
manufacturing errors while increasing its focus on design innovation,
part performance and quality to meet all critical part specifications.
Engineers plan to leverage all FiberSIM ACEE features for their
aircraft projects, including structural-based design tools for
specifying laminate requirements, tools for generating zone
transitions, ply boundaries, plybooks and variable offset surfaces,
and smart darting and splicing capabilities--all critical aspects of
the design and manufacturing processes for composite aircraft part
production.
"Alenia Aeronautica consistently meets its customers' demands for
reducing product development cycle times, and with VISTAGY's FiberSIM,
we expect to realize our engineering goals more quickly and
efficiently than ever before," said Fabrizio Damiano, manufacturing
engineer at Alenia Aeronautica. "By sharing critical design
information across the engineering chain, and automating our process
from design and modeling through production, Alenia engineers can
spend more time creating innovative products while minimizing material
waste and trial and error. We're pleased to partner with VISTAGY and
recognize the purchase of FiberSIM as a strategic and competitive
advantage for our organization."
"In the increasingly competitive aerospace industry, manufacturers
must achieve 'time-to-part' quicker than their competitors and ensure
absolute quality and compliance with product specifications. FiberSIM
takes the guesswork out of meeting these goals," said Alex Edwards,
general manager, Europe at VISTAGY, Inc. "Leading manufacturers like
Alenia Aeronautica are using FiberSIM as their specialized design
environment for composite engineering to significantly improve their
CAD-based product development process while reducing the inherent
risks in designing innovative new products."
