Optimal Ships Sculptor v3.4 for Shape Optimization

Optimal Solutions Software announced the release of Sculptor version 3.4 and Sculptor+ Match as a new module.

The new release includes Sculptor Morph, advanced morphing technology for STL and point cloud data; Sculptor Morph Analysis, advanced morphing technology for CAE and CFD; Sculptor+ CAD, advanced morphing technology for CAD data; Sculptor+ Optimize, 3D shape optimization leveraging advanced morphing technology;  Sculptor+ Match, 3D shape matching leveraging advanced morphing technology; and Sculptor Morph API, which provides API access to advanced 3D model morphing technology for software developers.

Sculptor+Match offers the ability to morph a similar CAE model to a target shape so analysis can be run on the target shape.

"We are pleased to release the Sculptor 3.4 offering the new shape matching module, improved translators and improved shape optimization capabilities," said Mark Landon CTO of Optimal Solutions Software. "The new improvements to the optimization capabilities and shape matching capabilities allow for real-time traversing and modification of the design space for a broad range of applications."

Sculptor version 3.4 enhances Sculptor's ability to reuse 3D data for creating better designs by leveraging the Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) real-time morphing technology.  Shape Matching gives users the ability to morph models to target shapes so they can be used in more than one discipline or application.  The matching can then be applied to other 3D models, such as CAD.
