Optimus Interfaces

SOLIDWORKS

The direct interface for SOLIDWORKS supports the efficient optimization of engineering challenges involving parametric 3D CAD modeling as well as structural and dynamic simulation. It automates the creation of an engineering workflow that contains SOLIDWORKS model entries. A powerful embedded search engine offers dedicated filters, to simplify the selection of design parameters and result components from the SOLIDWORKS model – allowing for an effortless parameterization.

​Orchestrating simulation campaigns

Optimus orchestrates parametric simulation campaigns involving SOLIDWORKS, freeing users from repetitive manual model changes and data processing. Using Optimus’ Design of Experiments (DOE), Response Surface Modeling (RSM) and Numerical Optimization methods, engineering teams quickly identify product designs that meet a combination of objectives set by multiple (often competing) performance targets. At the same time, design constraints imposed by manufacturing realities or stringent regulatory and standardization requirements are consistently taken into account. 

​Integration in a few clicks

Optimus automatically modifies the SOLIDWORKS design parameters, updates the underlying models and extracts the result outputs (scalar and vectors) in an automated simulation or optimization process. Built on Optimus’ User Customizable Interface (UCI) wrapper technology, the Optimus interface for SOLIDWORKS allows to access advanced parameters and versions of SOLIDWORKS without any configuration programming - enabling the parameterization and workflow integration of any SOLIDWORKS model with just a few clicks.
