nTop launches nTop 5 computational design software platform
Summary
nTop has also secured five new integration partners, who are now able to read and query implicit models natively in their software, helping users to create more efficient end-to-end workflows. Once inside Magics, users can section the model for interrogation, measure critical features on the part, prepare and validate the build parameters for production, and generate optimised toolpaths. Highly complex geometries present a significant challenge when meshing for simulation because they require a larger amount of smaller elements to properly represent the part being evaluated. The combination of scSTREAM and nTop Core relies on a direct data transfer technology for implicit models that avoids the need for users to simplify or compromise their design integrity. Without a requirement for a conformal FE mesh, this novel method allows for faster iterations and the ability to analyse designs containing lattices and other highly complex geometries that are time-consuming and impractical in traditional FEA tools.
