nTop 4.23 - What's New
Block Updates
- We added overloads for the Evaluate Field and Evaluate Field Gradient blocks to allow for a Point List input instead of a single point. Using the Point List overload, the block can now utilize multithreading for evaluating multiple points instead of list processing. The multithreading evaluation speed should be significantly faster in most cases than previously used list processing.
Bug Fixes
- We fixed an issue with the Static Analysis block that caused nTop to apply initial temperatures incorrectly during structural thermal analysis.
- We fixed an issue with the Export FE Mesh to CFD block that caused nTop to export duplicate meshes when exporting as an *.STL.
- We fixed an issue with the Import CFD Analysis Result block that caused nTop to exit unexpectedly when importing velocities with scalar values instead of vector values.
- We fixed an issue with the Topology Optimization block that caused nTop to display natural frequencies in the convergence graphs with incorrect units.
- We fixed an issue with the FE Volume Mesh from CAD block that caused nTop to require re-running the block upon opening a file from a previous version.
- We fixed an issue where the implicit view for unit cells would not update when changing the resolution.

nTopologyintroduced 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.
nTopologywas founded in 2015 to enable engineers and designers to create any geometry - no matter how complex - and meet the requirements of high-performance products.
