AVIO Selects iSIGHT-FD for Simulation Process Integration, Automation and Design Exploration

Engineous Software and AVIO S.p.A., a leader in aerospace propulsion, announced that AVIO has chosen Engineous Software's iSIGHT-FD as the platform for the company’s simulation process integration, automation and design exploration system. iSIGHT-FD provides the desktop gateway to the FIPER enterprise-wide system engineering framework. The selection of iSIGHT-FD marks the first step in a long term partnership between the two companies.

“We chose Engineous as our technology development partner because of their innovative approach to collaborative product development and their FIPER solution,” said Emilio Ferrari, Head of AVIO’s Research Technology Development, Product and Process Engineering. “Over the past 4 years during the European VIVACE project, we have been working with Engineous, their local partner Exemplar s.r.l., and other European jet engine manufacturing partners to develop an aeronautical collaborative design environment. We are pleased with the performance and services of both Engineous and Exemplar, and we look forward to expanding our partnership with them to bring a new level of collaborative engineering capability to our regional design and engineering partners.”

“We are pleased with AVIO’s selection of our product,” said Dr. Mike Sheh, VP, Engineous Europe. “It has been a rewarding journey with them and we praise our partner Exemplar s.r.l. for their superior services and support in winning the customer’s satisfaction and trust. We look forward to working with AVIO over the next several years to support and expand their vision for collaborative engineering in the Piemonte aerospace industries.”

The partnership between AVIO and Engineous is part of an effort in supporting the establishment of a Center of Excellence for Collaborative Jet Propulsion Design and Engineering in the Piemonte area. The near term milestone is to employ the state-of-the-art FIPER collaboration technology at the Center to enable AVIO, and their design and academic research partners, to conduct feasibility studies of simulation-based collaborative design processes.
