EnCapta is NASA Tech Briefs Product of the Month

Exceptional technical merit and practical value put EnCapta on top

WALTHAM, Mass., May 2, 2001 — EnCapta™ software from VISTAGY, Inc. has been selected by NASA Tech Briefs as the Product of the Month for May 2001. The software enriches the CAD environment by providing engineers with tools to capture and communicate the non-geometric design data, such as material specifications, assembly instructions and costing information, that are currently recorded in text documents, spreadsheets, email messages and even handwritten notes. Data that are vital for complete product definition are captured and managed as objects and linked associatively to the relevant CAD geometry. XML tools in EnCapta extract information from the CAD model and export it to other systems and databases.

The NASA Tech Briefs Product of the Month feature showcases new products of exceptional technical merit and practical value to engineering and management readers. Readers vote yearly to select one of these twelve products as Product of the Year for the Readers' Choice Awards.

The feature about EnCapta is available online at the NASA Tech Briefs web site.
