^Sculptor
BENEFITS

• Reuse existing 3D design models
• Reuse existing analysis finite element meshes
• Create better designs faster
• Explore what-if scenarios for analysis without having the need for repeated CAD updates and re- meshing
• Explore design concepts with free form shape modification
• Adjust existing models to “as-is” and “as built” conditions
• Easily make any shape modifications to 3D models (small shape changes in the engineering component may produce large gains in performance)

^{Features and}
CAPABILITIES

Sculptor Morph

• Leverages the Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology to provide real-time 3D morphing technology for STL data and point cloud data
• Lets you specify the area of the model that might change and how the change propagates. There is no need to create complex relationships and weighting functions

Sculptor Morph Analysis

• Leverages the ASD technology to provide real-time 3D morphing technology for a wide range of CFD and CAE analysis models.
• After performing the 3D shape modifications, you can export the resulting modified input file for reuse
• Automatically monitors mesh quality throughout the morphing process
• Can be used in batch mode for setting up a design of experiments for your analysis
• Interfaces with several commercial CFD solvers: Fluent, CFX, StarCD/CCM+, OpenFoam, CFD++, Fun3D, Cart3D, and many others
• Interfaces with several commercial FEA solvers: Ansys, Abaqus, and Nastran

Sculptor +CAD

• Extends the capabilities of Sculptor Morph or Sculptor Morph Analysis to provide real-time 3D morphing technology for CAD design models
• After performing the 3D shape modifications to the CAD model, you can export the resulting modified CAD model to an input file to be imported to your CAD system
• Supports the following CAD formats: STEP, IGES, ACIS/sat, and Parasolid

Sculptor + Optimize

• Extends the capabilities of Sculptor Morph Analysis to support automated rapid shape optimization without the need for repeated CAD updates and re-meshing
• Gives you complete control of Sculptor Morph Analysis shape change variables so you can morph your designs based on your product performance criteria
• Have the following optimizers: Optimized Latin Hypercube (OLH), Design of Experiments, and GRG gradient-based optimizer
• Interfaces to more extensive third-party optimization tools
• Allows the user to write out the optimized shape to be imported to the CAD system (requires Sculptor +CAD)

Sculptor + Match

• Extends the capabilities of Sculptor Morph or Sculptor Morph Analysis to leverage ASD technology to match a baseline model to a target model
• Has simple process for matching the base model to the target model
• Sculptor+ Match uses Sculptor's embedded GRG optimization techniques to minimize the difference between the baseline and target models
• Can be used to match deformed results from a different analysis or to match a design/analysis model to an as-built or as-is scan model
