WALTHAM, Mass — VISTAGY, Inc., a leading provider of industry-specific engineering software and services, will be in attendance at the JEC Composites Show 2009. The event runs from March 24-26 at the Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Hall 1 in Paris, France. Show attendees can visit the VISTAGY Stand (#T45) to take part in the Passport To Composites Success Program so they can learn how the company is partnering with a variety of industry leaders to offer state-of-the-art technology for composites analysis, design, manufacturing, assembly and quality planning. VISTAGY’s focus on software, partnerships and professional services provides an unparalleled and comprehensive solution for the entire composites product development process.

VISTAGY will also be taking part in the Wind Energy Forum as Dr. Olivier Guillermin, director of product and market strategy, will deliver a presentation on Tuesday, March 24 at 14:30 entitled, The Benefits of CAD Integrated Composite Design Software for Engineering Wind Turbine Composite Parts. Dr. Guillermin will discuss how the wind energy industry is looking to the aerospace industry for key engineering and manufacturing methods and tools, including using VISTAGY's FiberSIM® to address the challenges of developing larger turbine blades with reduced component weight and decreasing lifetime costs. He will explain how a specialized CAD environment can be applied to developing composite wind turbines, reducing costs and cycle time and improving overall performance and quality.

The ING Renault F1 Team racing car will also be on display at the VISTAGY stand, and senior CAE engineer, Ian Goddard, will make three presentations and take questions throughout the show. Mr. Goddard’s presentation is entitled, Improving Composites Development Processes at ING Renault F1 Team.
