SculptorPLUS Now Available

Overview

Optimal Solutions Software, LLC, developer of Sculptor, the world's leading CAE real-time design deformation technology, is pleased to announce the release of its new SculptorPLUS software package. SculptorPLUS will offer a host of new features to make the creation of a volume much easier and to make complex deformations seamless. The "new" Sculptor has have the following capabilities:

  1. Copy and translate an arbitrary shape deformation (ASD) volume.
  2. Add and delete planes to a volume by a mouse click.
  3. Shrink-wrap a volume around a grid.
  4. Incorporate overlapping volumes.
  5. Perform the parallelization of the freezing task.
  6. Improved graphical user interface.
  7. Incorporate user-defined coordinate systems.
  8. Introduce T-spline volumes, which permit the insertion of single control points:
  9. Ability to clip out a portion of a Fluent case file; deform it; and paste it back into the original file:

SculptorPLUS Added Features

A handful of new features have also been added including the ability to:

  • Create a volume by mirroring an existing volume around a plane.
  • Cylindrical ASD functionality (below):
  • Construct simple geometric shapes, such as points, lines, planes, spheres, and boxes that can be used as constraints and as references to measure geometric changes.
  • Use the weights of the control points as additional deformation variables.
  • Develop contour shading of the deformations made to the grid.
  • Direct nodal deformation (below):
