nTopology 5.31.3

nTopology is pleased to announce the availability of nTopology 5.31.3. This release features a new 2D Vector Field as a block and a 3D vector field property and includes a new option to limit the number of threads utilized in parallel processing.


2D Vector Field
- The 2D Vector Field block outputs a 2D vector field type consisting of two scalar field components. This type is an R3 to R2 mapping, whereas the existing Vector Field type is an R3 to R3 mapping.
- Spatially varying profiles and 2D implicit modeling for fuselage shaping, airfoil design, and duct design.
- Block Name: 2D Vector Field
. Location: Math > Vectors
. Description: Create a 2D vector field from scalar field components.
. X: The X component of the vector field as a scalar field.
. Y: The Y component of the vector field as a scalar field.
. Output: 2D Vector Field


Usage Improvements
- We’ve added three new properties to the Vector Field type for quick access. The three new properties (XY, YZ, and ZX) output the new 2D Vector Field type.
- We've added a new command-line option, –maxthreads or -m, to limit the number of threads nTop and nTop Automate use for parallel processing.


Block Updates
- The Conic block has been updated to use the new 2D Vector Field type.
- The Cubic Bezier block has been updated to use the new 2D Vector Field type.


nTopology introduced the concept of implicit modeling for mechanical design, which is an innovative, modern, and scalable way define parts and products. It has many benefits to end-users and companies, such as the elimination of model failures, speed of changes or iterations, and scalability to name a few. But implicit modeling enables so much more. In this informational session, we'll explore a topic that is redefining product development – field-driven design. In short, field-driven design is a way for design, analysis, and manufacturing teams to overlay information into one engineering model. This approach enables orders of magnitude increase in design iteration speed and greatly improves collaboration between teams.

How Field-Driven Design Allows Engineers to Design for Additive Manufacturing


Watch this information session where we'll define field-driven design, show examples of how it enables better knowledge sharing, and show how it promotes the development of more sophisticated, highly engineered products. You'll also better understand how nTopology is addressing today's engineering problems through its nTop Platform product.
nTopology was founded in 2015 to enable engineers and designers to create any geometry — no matter how complex — and meet the requirements of high-performance products.
