Enhancing Your CAD Software with Specialized Tools for Seat Design

The VISTAGY Seat Design Environment™ (SDE), powered by our EnCapta® technology, is specialized engineering software that enables engineers to design and manufacture innovative transportation seat systems and interior components. The SDE is the first-ever seat design software application that addresses the entire seat engineering process and is fully integrated into commercial CAD systems.

With the SDE, engineers can accurately capture all aspects of seat design, including trim cover, sew lines, attachments to foam and frame, and hardware data for airbags or heating systems. The software also performs conformance simulation and generates flat patterns from the 3D CAD model. Seat manufacturers can capture information and detail in one 3D model, make design changes quickly and early in the development process, and share information across distributed engineering teams working concurrently on seat systems.

With the SDE, engineers can achieve seat development goals such as:

• Increasing efficiency and control of the engineering and prototyping process;
• Providing a single data source for all design and manufacturing information;
• Verifying that customer requirements are met for style, safety and comfort;
• Supporting all aspects of the seat engineering process from styling to production;
• Reducing total engineering costs and prototyping time.
