Sculptor Morph

Sculptor Morph leverages our revolutionary Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology to provide real-time 3D morphing technology for STL data and point cloud data. The comprehensive and robust ASD technology provides the ability to perform free form 3D shape modifications to your 3D models with six easy steps.

import your STL data or point cloud data.
define (or retrieve) the ASD Volumes.
"freeze" the relationship of your model to the ASD volume.
select control points of the ASD to move.
move the control points as a group or parametrically and your model changes in real-time.
export the resulting modified model for reuse.

The unique ASD technology from Optimal Solutions 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. The influence is automatically propagated to neighboring volumes. You can also specify "super planes" to prevent propagation of changes with no changes crossing your defined planes. Any portion of the model that is not enclosed in an ASD Volume remains unchanged. Sculptor Morph can also be used in batch mode for rapidly creating a family of design variations of your 3D model.

Using Optimal Solutions' Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology, you can deform shapes on the facet or point cloud model, and if you also have the Sculptor + CAD module, you can deform CAD models in real time as well. This gives you power to take your 3D model shapes where you want them to go without restrictions.

Version 3.4 enhancements include: significant improvements to ASD Volume creation, capability to "Apply Design to other Model", improved OpenFOAM export, improved handling of StarCCM+ grids, improved Wind-US translator, and added Crunch translator.

SculptorPRODUCT NOTES

Building ASD Volumes

ASD volumes can be modified to fit the shape of your model through a "Shrink Wrap" operation which moves the control points of the Volume to the intersection with your model.

Cartesian and cylindrical ASD volumes can be defined. Cylindrical ASD volumes are beneficial for shape modifications of near cylindrical objects and shape modifications that are radial in nature.

Certain planes in the ASD Volume can be designated to act as "Super Planes" which prevent propagation of changes with no changes crossing the "super planes".

Sculptor + CAD

Current version of Sculptor+ CAD is 3.4 released June 2013.

Sculptor + CAD lets you return you modified designs back to their CAD format or morph them directly.

Sculptor + CAD is an add-on to Sculptor Morph and Sculptor Morph Analysis that provides the ability to import, modify, and export CAD data for most major CAD and standard based formats.

Sculptor + CAD supersedes the Back2CAD product previously offered by Optimal Solutions.

Sculptor + Optimize

Current version of Sculptor+ Optimize is 3.4 released June 2013.

Sculptor + Optimize links to most major third party optimization systems and also lets you quickly explore your design space using a built in Random Latin Hypercube or GRG optimization algorithm in one user friendly and powerful tool.

Sculptor + Optimize is an add-on to Sculptor Morph Analysis that provides the ability to optimize shape by driving ASD modifications to achieve performance objectives.

Sculptor + Optimize supersedes the Optimization Control Center product previously offered by Optimal Solutions.

Version 3.4 enhancements include: analysis variables dialog and a new Response Surface function.

SculptorPRODUCT NOTES

Sculptor+ Match

Current version of Sculptor+ Match is 3.4 released June 2013.

Sculptor+ Match lets you morph a baseline model to match a target model. This 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. Shape Matching from Optimal Solutions gives you the ability to morph models to target shapes so they can be used in more than one discipline.

Sculptor+ Match is an add-on to Sculptor Morph and Sculptor Morph Analysis that provides the ability to modify an existing model to match a different model

Sculptor+ Match is a new product for the Sculptor family
