Vistagy has announced that Cener is using Vistagy's FiberSIM software to engineer wind turbine blades made of composite materials.

The company provides 3D CAD-integrated specialised software that streamlines the Cener's conceptual and detailed design processes to more efficiently develop next-generation composite blades. With FiberSIM, Cener plans to improve early cost and weight estimates by producing conceptual solid models that can be analysed very early in the design phase. As a result, engineers will ensure final specifications are met prior to the detailed design and manufacturing stages in order to reduce development cycles. In addition engineers will capture complete, detailed 3D definitions of composite blades and automatically generate documentation to help manufacturing teams create the blades more rapidly, efficiently and accurately.
