Naba Tailored Composite Solutions select FiberSIM® software from VISTAGY, Inc.

Naba Tailored Composite Solutions are pleased to announce they have added
FiberSIM® software from VISTAGY, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, to compliment
their advanced material design and project management capabilities. Naba
T.C.S. will use the FiberSIM® Advanced Composite Engineering Environment™ to
design products made of advanced composite materials.
Richard McAinsh, Technical Head of Naba TCS, stated “The choice of FiberSIM for
Naba TCS was an easy one. The pace of F1 development and the ‘right first time’
philosophy provides a critical test which, through out my F1 experience, FiberSIM
comfortably passed.”
“For Naba TCS the integration of FiberSIM into our CATIA V5 CAD system marks a
major step to fulfilling our goal to offer the best tools available and to bring them
to bare on the design and engineering of composite components. The uptake of
composite materials beyond the racing and aerospace industries is such that a
high-end composite design capability will offer real commercial advantages in
structural performance, material and manufacturing costs and time to market.”

About FiberSIM®
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
modelling 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.
