Applications

The Sculptor family of products has been used by our customers in a wide variety of applications, illustrating the power and benefit of free-form morphing and simulation driven design without cumbersome and expensive re-meshing.

Automotive HVAC

Better designs of automotive HVAC ducts faster and cheaper with Sculptor.

Airplane Wing Shape

Commercial Airplane 3D wing shape morphing with Sculptor.

Decreasing Optimization Time

Sculptor's Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology significantly reduces time to perform design optimization for aerodynamic performance.

Hot to Cold Turbine Blades

Turbo-machinery customer matched their "cold" FEA model to their "hot" CFD model with Sculptor.

Improving Train Efficiency

The objective was to maximize efficiency, reduce emissions and decrease design time for a high speed train.

Intake Port Optimization

Improving aerodynamic performance of an intake port with Sculptor.

Reducing Motorcycle Drag

The goal was to reduce drag by morphing the windscreen and front fairing. Sculptor generated 36 designs with a geometry that reduced drag by more than 5%.

Streamliner Design

Electric streamliner set a world land speed record for its weight class based on optimized design shapes from Sculptor.
