Premium AEROTEC Picks VISTAGY FiberSIM For Composite Design
 WALTHAM,
MA, Apr 3, 2009 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading provider of industry-specific
engineering software and services, today announced that Premium AEROTEC,
previously a division and now a wholly owned subsidiary of EADS (Frankfurt:
EAD.F) and a Tier One supplier to Airbus, has purchased FiberSIM software.
FiberSIM will be used to design and manufacture large composite sections to
support the company’s current programs. Premium AEROTEC selected FiberSIM
based on its past success working with VISTAGY and with the aim of meeting
aggressive cost cutting initiatives and delivery schedules.
Premium AEROTEC was particularly focused on finding a solution that could
support multiple design methodologies to enable the most efficient composite
engineering processes. To meet that goal, Premium AEROTEC wanted to find a
partner that would help them reduce errors and subsequent design revisions;
automate tedious non-value added tasks, such as redundant data entry; enhance
downstream consumption of data; and ultimately improve overall engineering
productivity.
Premium AEROTEC chose VISTAGY to help solve these challenges due to its
significant experience in aircraft design, its proven ability to deliver
valuable consulting services and because FiberSIM has a long record of success
in enabling firms to efficiently develop the spectrum of aerostructures,
including fuselage skins, ribs, frames, stringers, spars, pressure bulkheads,
floors, empennage and wings.
Premium AEROTEC was also seeking software that had the demonstrated ability
to perform rapid design changes as well as support a structure-based design
process, which are both critical to accurate and efficient fuselage design. The
proven reliability of the VISTAGY solution was thus seen to reduce the risks
often associated with creating parts made from composite materials due to the
complexity of the engineering process.
“Our decision to expand the use of FiberSIM was based on the combination of
the software’s maturity, reliability and flexibility along with the knowledge,
experience and responsiveness of the people at VISTAGY,” said Reinald Pfau, head
of engineering and a member of the board of management of Premium AEROTEC.
“VISTAGY provided a solution that would enable us to meet our delivery schedule
and cost reduction goals. As a matter of fact, FiberSIM has already allowed us
to deliver validation data to an OEM on a very tight deadline.”
“We’re pleased to partner with Premium AEROTEC to apply FiberSIM to
cutting-edge composite design and manufacturing techniques so the company can
meet its critical objectives,” said Scott Carlyle, vice president of worldwide
sales for VISTAGY. “Working together we can help Premium AEROTEC achieve cost
saving goals by improving the efficiency and productivity of the overall
composite development process.”
