Key Software Capabilities
- Design automation
- Lattice structures
nTop recently released new ribbing tools in their recent update.
These tools are designed to help you lightweight and stiffen parts, like drone panels, by adding ribs and optimizing the design through a computational design workflow.
By using simulation data, we can drive the rib height based on displacement, ensuring the part is both lightweight and structurally sound. We can test different rib designs, compare results, and export the final design to third-party software for further validation and manufacturing.
Dive into the full process and see how it can improve your current workflow.
Watch and learn how to:
- Use nTop’s new ribbing tools
- Create a computational design workflow
- Use simulation data to drive parameters within the workflow
