Used early in the design process, Inspire enables the creation of designs focused on both performance and manufacturability. Inspire empowers its users to explore, develop, and manufacture high-performance products in a single, intuitive environment. Accelerate Design from Concept to Reality • Geometry Creation and Modification: Supports use of parametric surfaces, solids, polyNURBS, facets, and implicit modeling within the same model. • Computational Physics for Rapid Exploration: Makes complex physics simulations accessible and designer friendly, enabling rapid, accurate analysis of structural, fluid flow, and motion dynamics. • Design Optimization for Topology and Beyond: Goes beyond standard topology optimization, incorporating AI for generative design that produces practical, sustainable products. • Manufacturability Analysis: Evaluate processes like casting, metal forming, injection molding, metal and polymer extrusion, polyurethane foaming, and additive manufacturing early to prevent defects and costly retooling.
