VISTAGY, Inc., the developer of composites engineering software that provides specialized design functionality to commercial CAD/PDM/PLM systems, will be in attendance at the JEC Composites Show 2006. The event runs from March 28 to March 30 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Paris, France.

The Renault F1 Team racecar will be on exhibit at the VISTAGY booth (#C21). Renault F1 Team has used FiberSIM(R) to advance the design and manufacture of composite components on three generations of racecars, including the R25 car, which raced the team to victory in both the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA FIA

--Tuesday, March 28: 10:30, 13:30, and 16:30

--Wednesday, March 29: 10:30, 13:30, and 16:30

--Thursday, March 30: 9:30, 11:30, and 14:30

In addition, regular demonstrations of the latest release of FiberSIM software will take place in the booth. FiberSIM 5.1 boasts several major new capabilities, including new tools for merging models, defining zones, generating automated plybooks, and specifying splices and drop-offs. The booth will also feature demonstrations of the recently delivered Airframe Design Environment(TM) (ADE), powered by VISTAGY's EnCapta(R) technology, which helps engineers design airframe assemblies.

VISTAGY will also offer two related presentations:

About FiberSIM(R)

FiberSIM(R) is a suite of software that turns commercial CAD systems into tools specialized 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 the entire product development process as well as flexible design methodologies for a wide variety of materials and manufacturing methods. 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 curvature

Measure of the rate of change of direction of a curved line or surface at any point. In general, it is the reciprocal of the radius of the circle or sphere of best fit to the curve or surface at that point.
 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.
