VISTAGY Introduces AeroSuite for Aircraft Manufacturing
Suite consists of FiberSIM, SyncroFIT and Quality Planning Environment
 WALTHAM,
MA, Mar 24, 2009 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading provider of industry-specific
engineering software and services, today announced the introduction of
VISTAGY AeroSuite, a comprehensive solution that enables aircraft
manufacturers to more effectively manage the evolving product development
process and deliver optimized parts and assemblies in less time at lower
cost.
The AeroSuite consists of FiberSIM composites engineering
software, SyncroFIT software for assembly development and the Quality Planning
Environment. By combining these production-proven software products with the
company’s world-class consulting services and partnerships with industry
leaders, VISTAGY is able to offer the first truly complete solution for
aerostructures development—spanning analysis, design, manufacturing, assembly
and quality planning.
”There is no question that developing complex composites structures and
highly engineered assemblies presents substantial challenges,” said Steve Luby,
president and CEO of VISTAGY. “But the key to overcoming these inherent
challenges is recognizing that the composite definition and assembly definition
of an airframe are inextricably linked and must be considered as an integrated
system.
“We believe that the companies that adopt this approach will be best suited
to meet the challenges and will thrive because they will be the ones most
capable of producing robust aircraft on-time and on-budget.”
The VISTAGY AeroSuite was inspired by the realization that trying to achieve
all three of these goals simultaneously was problematic because changes in one
area often had profound effects on the other two areas, resulting in missed
deadlines, increased costs, overweight designs and substandard performance. By
contrast, VISTAGY AeroSuite enables engineers to work how they think with
vocabulary and tools specific to aerostructures design. They can capture design
intent, manage complex design and assembly relationships, automatically
propagate changes throughout the design, and validate the design, resulting in
better performance, reduced costs and shorter product cycles.
The VISTAGY AeroSuite is comprised of the following components:
- FiberSIM - The only comprehensive software suite that addresses the
entire composites engineering process, from conception, laminate definition and
ply creation through simulation, performance optimization, flat pattern
generation, documentation and manufacturing.
- SyncroFIT - A group of software products (formerly known as
Airframe Development Environments) for designing and manufacturing airframe
assemblies and large aerostructures. SyncroFIT enables the user to easily author
and capture complete digital representations of airframe assemblies and share
critical design and manufacturing detail more efficiently across the enterprise
and the global supply chain. The software provides a thorough representation of
the airframe assembly, including the relationships defined by joints between
mating parts and the definition of fasteners and holes. It also manages the
interactions of composite details within assemblies and allows engineers to
validate that fastener design rules have been met.
- Quality Planning Environment (QPE) - Specialized software that
enables quality planning engineers to ensure airframes are manufactured properly
based on condition of supply definitions. With the QPE, quality engineers are
able to generate their plans based on design and manufacturing data created by
FiberSIM and SyncroFIT and saved in the CAD model, thus shortening the time it
takes to generate inspection plans, reducing errors in planning, and tailoring
plans to the needs of the quality inspectors.
- Custom Consulting Services – Based on over 15 years of experience
working with the industry’s leading designers and manufacturers of advanced
aircraft, VISTAGY has developed comprehensive service offerings to assist its
customers in implementing optimized processes for developing composite
aerostructures. VISTAGY uses a four-phase deployment methodology that is
customized to meet the goals of each specific organization. Experienced VISTAGY
technical consultants interview designers, analysts and manufacturing engineers
to assess capabilities and objectives, then develop design methodologies for
specific part types and, finally, focus on large scale deployment and the
implementation of those part-specific design methodologies. Custom Consulting
Services enable aerospace firms to fully leverage the potential of the VISTAGY
AeroSuite and, ultimately, meet their program objectives.
