- French aerostructures leader further improves product quality by adopting

Phoenix Integration solutions

TOULOUSE, France

/PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix Integration, a

leading provider of software for engineering automation, integration, and

design optimization, today announced that its flagship software, PHX

ModelCenter®, will be widely deployed by Aerolia, provider of equipped

fuselage aerostructures for all Airbus aircraft programs and the Bombardier

Global 7000 and 8000 programs.

Engineering processes in aerostructure design are uniquely challenging

because they vary greatly among aircraft programs and involve a myriad of

simulation tools, including commercial, legacy, in-house, and OEM frameworks.

"For years, due to diversity of clients and programs, our engineers developed

their own macros and tools to simplify daily work. But these integrations were

not robust enough to adapt to other processes and aircraft programs,"

explained Mr. William Belloc, head of Engineering Capabilities at Aerolia.

Through the use of PHX ModelCenter, Aerolia's engineers are now able to

quickly wrap applications like Nastran, Isami, SAFE, Airbus PSN applications or

other Excel macros, without any change required on the existing IT

infrastructure, to automate process execution for better efficiency and

robustness while harmonizing methods across aircraft programs.

Following a thorough testing phase focused on stress, fatigue, and CAD

processes, Aerolia proved PHX ModelCenter's ability to share integrated

processes to the whole engineering community and improve the processes

themselves by eliminating error due to manual translation. Ultimately, the

resulting robust processes and ability to run more simulations yield improved

product quality.

"The light installation procedures and easy adoption convinced us to widely

deploy PHX ModelCenter and migrate many of our engineering processes," said

Mr. Belloc. "We are confident that PHX ModelCenter will allow us to improve

and leverage processes for the whole engineering community."
