NIAR at Wichita State University to Use VISTAGY FiberSIM
 WALTHAM,
MA, Jan 7, 2010 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading provider of industry-specific
engineering software and services, today announced a partnership with the
National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University,
one of the nation's leading aerospace research institutions. NIAR's mission
is to provide research, transfer technology and enhance education for the
purpose of advancing the aviation industry.
NIAR, a non-profit institution funded primarily by industry and federal
contracts, will use VISTAGY's FiberSIM composites engineering software in
its Composites and Advanced Materials Laboratory to understand the potential
for and limitations of composites in the aviation industry. Researchers and
technicians in the NIAR Composites Lab perform layup and bonding operations
and conduct research programs to understand the effects of heat, moisture,
contamination and repairs on advanced materials. The results will be used by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as well as the institute's
clients.
"VISTAGY's role as one of the leading composites engineering firms and
its extensive experience in the aerospace industry will add a lot to our
research and training efforts," said Dr. John Tomblin, executive director of
NIAR. "As aerospace materials continue to change in the future, FiberSIM
will enable our research engineers, clients and students to fully understand
how best to apply composites in an aerospace environment."
"We're pleased to partner with an organization that is at the forefront
of finding solutions to the world's most challenging aviation problems,"
said Steve Peck, VISTAGY's director of product and market strategy for
aerostructures. "This relationship will provide a great opportunity for us
to advance composites technologies within the institution's participating
companies as well as educate engineering students who will be working in the
industry in the not-too-distant future."
