CADNexus - CAD to CAE Integration

"From my experience, CAPRI CAE Gateway is a unique software primarily because of its direct connection to CAD and overall robustness. I can use an in-house geometry manipulation and triangulation tool, but I find that the time to take something out of CAD and put the final design back into CAD is prohibitive. We have performed over 10,000 automated CFD design iterations using CAPRI for CAD integration, with parametric update and surface wrapping reliability exceeding 99.98%."

Automatic Preprocessing for NASA's Cart3D

The direct triangulation on CAD solids eliminates inaccuracies, bottlenecks, and additional non-value added healing and cleanup steps typically required for preparation of CAD data for meshing.

The CAPRI2Cart3D application can be used on a command line in batch mode or from a GUI environment depending on the user's process needs. Batch mode is suited for advanced users who wish to embed the preprocessing capability into their analysis and design process taking advantage of the automated mesh generation of Cart3D.
