VISTAGY's flexible and open technology empowers users of commercial 3D CAD systems such as NX, CATIA and Creo Parametric to author and leverage wind-specific structured engineering data beyond just the geometry. This approach defines new and proven best practices for concurrent design and analysis, design for the manufacturing process, upfront design change validation, seamless transition to manufacturing, manufacturing automation and the supply chain.
FiberSIM®, VISTAGY’s industry-specific engineering solution, creates a complete digital master definition of a composite wind turbine blade within commercial 3D CAD systems, enabling seamless collaboration between engineering and manufacturing. Utilizing data from the master model, FiberSIM:
- Drives all downstream manufacturing processes, including nesting, automated cutting, laser positioning automated fiber placement and tape laying
- Provides dramatic reductions over manual methods in both labor and manufacturing costs as well as cycle times.
- Enables manufacturers to deliver optimal designs more quickly and to capture maximum market share.
