“SCULPTOR: Superior Tools for Parametric Shape Change, Morphing for Shape Optimization & Shape Matching”
Mr. Mark D. Landon, Ph.D.
CTO, Optimal Solutions Software, LLC
OCC-ExpertSCULPTORPointwiseOpenFOAM®
Sculptor® is an engineering tool that easily and smoothly deforms (morphs) CAE meshes and CAD geometry. When coupled with optimization algorithms and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and/or Finite Element (FEA) this powerful capability can perform automatic shape optimization. Sculptor is based on Optimal Solutions' powerful Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) technology that provides smooth, accurate, volumetric shape deformations, based on movements of user defined control points, using very few design variables. Sculptor helps find the subtle shape changes that produce large improvements in design performance. Models become clay in your hands. It is used in many fields such as motorsports, automotive, aerospace, bio-medical, turbomachinery, marine, shape matching, etc. Sculptor comes bundled with optimization algorithms in it Optimization Control Center or can be used in Batchmode with other optimization software. Sculptor has been coupled with most commercial, open source, and government engineering CFD/FEA software formats and most neutral CAD formats. A case study is presented using a Pointwise generated OpenFOAM mesh of the DrivAer car model (Institute of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics at the Technische Universität München). Pointwise produces high quality meshes that Sculptor can morph while maintaining high quality cells even with large deformations. The surface boundary layer thickness and orthogonality is maintained.
