Getting Started

Optimal Solutions provides a variety of options to get you started with the Sculptor family of products.

Tutorials

The following tutorials are available for learning more about real-time morphing capabilities provided by Sculptor Morph and Sculptor Morph Analysis featuring our unique Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology.

Demo

If you would like to better understand the capabilities of Sculptor and how Sculptor can help you in your applications, you can arrange a live demo with us or with a Sculptor distributor.

Evaluation

The best way to really understand Sculptor and the benefits that you can achieve is through an evaluation. You can download your own full-featured version of Sculptor free of charge by registering at our Sculptor Support Site or by contacting us or a Sculptor distributor.

Licensing Options

Optimal Solutions offers a variety of options for licensing to meet your business situation and application needs. This includes the standard options for Annual licenses and paid-up licenses with maintenance, as well as project specific licensing to match the duration of your research. Please contact us or a Sculptor distributor to discuss licensing options.

SculptorPRODUCT NOTES

Sculptor + CAD

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 Morph 3.3

Current version of Sculptor Morph is 3.3 released October 2012.

Sculptor Morph provides the full capabilities of for Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology to provide real-time 3D morphing technology for STL data and point cloud data.

Sculptor Morph provides the user the ability to easily deform, move features, and modify stl and point cloud formats and can be extended by adding Sculptor + CAD or Sculptor + Match

Sculptor Morph 3.3
Cylindrical ASD

Sculptor Morph provides the capabilities for definition of Cartesian and cylindrical ASD volumes

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

Sculptor Morph 3.3
Shrink Wrap

Sculptor Morph provides the capabilities for modification of ASD volumes to fit the shape of your model through a "shrink wrap" operation.

"Shrink wrap" of an ASD Volume moves the control points of the Volume to the intersection with your model.

Sculptor Morph API

Current version of Sculptor Morph API is 3.3 released October 2012.

Sculptor Morph API is a library of function calls with an API interface designed to perform free form 3D shape modifications bringing the power of Sculptor Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology into your application.

More modules are planned to be supported through API interfaces – watch this space

SculptorPRODUCT NOTES

Sculptor + Optimize

Current version of Sculptor + Optimize is 3.3 released October 2012.

Sculptor + Optimize links to most major third party optimization systems.

Sculptor +Optimize 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.

Analysis 3.3
Super Planes

Sculptor Morph Analysis provides the capabilities for designation of certain planes in the ASD Volume to act as "super planes".

"Super planes" prevent propagation of changes with no changes crossing the "super planes".
