Simcenter Inspire enables the generation of optimized geometries from functional constraints, transforming the results into production-ready models, including additive manufacturing.

Topology optimization as part of the creative process

Simcenter Inspire includes advanced tools for topology and generative optimization that guide designers in creating lightweight, stiff, and efficient structures. Optimization can be intuitively configured by defining functional objectives such as weight reduction or increased stiffness, along with realistic manufacturing constraints.

From optimization results to usable geometry

Unlike many academic tools, Inspire allows optimization results to be directly converted into editable geometries using PolyNURBS, maintaining continuity between simulation and modeling. The resulting shapes are ready for structural validation and subsequent production, including additive manufacturing.

Simulate variants to explore optimal solutions

Optimization in Inspire is not limited to finding a single “best” result; it enables exploration of a range of design alternatives. Users can compare different solutions, evaluating options for shape, material, and manufacturing constraints to identify the one that best meets design objectives, maximizing performance, minimizing cost, and ensuring manufacturability.
