Fischer Advanced Composite Components AG Purchases FiberSIM for Boeing 787 Program.WALTHAM, Mass., USA -- Austria's largest aerospace supplier to use VISTAGY software to streamline design and manufacture of composite components VISTAGY, Inc., the leading developer of computer-aided-design (CAD) integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. for the design and manufacture of composite parts, today announced that Fischer Advanced Composite Components (FACC FACC Fellow, American College of Cardiology ) AG, based in Ried/Innkreis, Austria, has purchased FiberSIM(R) 5.0 software. FACC is using the new Advanced Composite Engineering Environment(TM) (ACEE ACEE Agence Canadienne d'Évaluation Environnementale (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency) ACEE AmeriCorps for Community Engagement and Education ACEE Area Centers for Educational Enhancement (Florida) ) in FiberSIM to design and manufacture composite winglets for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. "In the past, FACC has successfully used FiberSIM tools solely for manufacturing," says Roland Zeilinger, Head of Design at FACC Vienna. "As part of our overall strategy of streamlining the product development process, we will make FiberSIM an essential part of design, as well." "With input from VISTAGY customers, each year we have added important capabilities to FiberSIM," says Steve Luby, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of VISTAGY. "FiberSIM's revolutionary ACEE supports multiple new design methodologies for a wide range of composite parts and manufacturing processes. FACC has recognized FiberSIM's expanded design potential, and we look forward to helping them take the fullest advantage of the software." FACC has longstanding expertise in manufacturing composite parts for aircraft. The company previously used FiberSIM to generate ply lay-up data for automated cutting machines and laser pattern projection equipment to manufacture components for the wings of the Airbus A380. The product development path for those components was complex and involved several data translations between multiple engineering software tools. The upgrade to FiberSIM 5.0 is part of a broader effort to make digital design as integrated and efficient as possible. FACC intends to implement the full range of FiberSIM's functionality, from preliminary design to manufacturing, including the following new tools in the ACEE: --Zone-based design for defining laminate laminate, n a thin slice of porcelain or plastic fabricated in a dental lab, which is cemented to the front of the teeth to cover gaps, whiten stained teeth, or reshape chipped or broken teeth. specifications and requirements --Dynamic generation of zone transitions and ply boundaries --Generation of variable offset surfaces --Smart darting and splicing splicing /splic·ing/ (spli´sing) 1. the attachment of individual DNA molecules to each other, as in the production of chimeric genes. 2. RNA s. About FiberSIM(R) FiberSIM(R) 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 modeling 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 mock·up also mock-up n. 1.

The software simulates how composite material composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the deforms over complex curvature and generates manufacturing information including documentation, flat patterns, and data to drive downstream manufacturing equipment. FiberSIM also uses XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. technology to share composites data with people and applications throughout the enterprise.
