ESI Group (Paris, France), a supplier of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes, announced its partnership with Optimal Solutions Software, LLC (Idaho Falls, ID), creator of Sculptor, to reduce the time required for complex design studies.

With the combination of ESI Group’s CFD-ACE+ CFD solution and Optimal Solutions Software’s Sculptor, CAE real-time design deformation technology, users benefit from a solution designed to improve productivity and overall speed.

ESI Group’s proven solution CFD-VisCART allows users to quickly and easily mesh complex geometry. This automated, easy to use meshing solution can generate a mesh for a complete car overnight compared to days or weeks using other tools. As design studies are evaluated, Sculptor is then used to quickly deform the mesh in real-time for subsequent runs. This is all completed without having to go back to the CAD model or do any additional re-meshing. The benefit to the end-users is the potential for them to save weeks or even months in a typical automotive aerodynamics analysis for a new car program.
