Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, and VISTAGY, Inc., a provider of industry-specific engineering software and services, have announced a significant upgrade and long-term extension to their partnership designed to meet the rapidly growing composite engineering and PLM needs of their customers. The new agreement results in an improved ability to meet market demand with an end-to-end composites engineering solution based on Siemens PLM Software’s NX software and VISTAGY’s FiberSIM.
The agreement enables the companies to support the needs of customers across the entire PLM space, from design to manufacturing, by providing for increased levels of integration between FiberSIM, NX and other Siemens PLM Software solutions. Additional provisions for joint sales and marketing activity also facilitate awareness, distribution and support of the integrated offering to ensure customer success and satisfaction.
By extending their joint expertise in PLM, product development and composite engineering, Siemens PLM Software and VISTAGY are delivering an integrated offering that helps significantly enhance the ability of customers to perform the design, analysis and manufacture of composites within the PLM process. The solution combines NX, the computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) solution, with FiberSIM, a software for composites engineering. By strengthening the integration between these two offerings, Siemens PLM Software and VISTAGY are able to help their customers work more efficiently with tools tailored to their specific needs and improve their decision making when designing composite products.
“Our enhanced agreement and strong partnership with Siemens PLM Software enables both companies to increase the value we create for our customers,” said Steve Luby, President and CEO, VISTAGY. “With FiberSIM, customers address the entire composites engineering process, from conception, laminate definition and ply creation through simulation, documentation and manufacturing. By combining that unique capability with the power and functional breadth of NX, as well as the highly respected PLM credentials of Siemens PLM Software, we are extending the ability of both organisations to deliver the benefits of an integrated composite engineering solution to all the industries we serve.”
“By creating a stronger partnership with VISTAGY, we are continuing our strategy of working with the industry’s leading solution providers to constantly improve the value we deliver to our customers,” said Joan Hirsch, Vice President, Product Design Solutions, Siemens PLM Software. “With its strong customer base and expertise in composite engineering solutions, VISTAGY is a valued partner, and their FiberSIM solution an ideal complement to NX and the rest of our suite of PLM software.”
