BYU Sets Speed Record...With Help From Sculptor

Sculptor proved an essential tool to help BYU engineering students optimize the shape of their electric streamliner which set a world land speed record for its weight class, averaging 155.8 mph over its two required qualifying runs, one of which was clocked at 175 mph.

Shape Matching of a Turbine Blade

One of our turbo-machinery customer matched their "cold" FEA model to their "hot" CFD model in a few hours (their traditional process would have taken weeks).

Their total costs were 62% less than their traditional design method, saving them more that $8,800 and 85 hours on this one project alone.

Cutting Plane

After you watch this 2-min tutorial you'll be able to use the Sculptor Cutting Plane feature to be able to see (before starting your automated optimization) what effect your shape changes may have on internal geometic elements.

Shrink Wrap

After you watch this 5 minute tutorial you'll be able to perform a Sculptor Shrink Wrap and you'll know where and how to use Shrink Wrap to create ASD volumes much quicker and easier.

Super Planes

After you watch this 3-1/2 minute tutorial you'll be able to create a Sculptor Super Plane and you'll know when to use it to gain better control over your deformations/optimizations.

One of the most important benefits of Super Planes is maintaining CFD boundary layer thickness while mesh morphing.
