2024: Integration with CAD "T-FLEX CAD"

On September 5, 2024, Top Systems, together with SIGMA Technology, announced the possibility of integrating the IOSO calculation management platform, optimization and approximation with the domestic T-FLEX CAD from Top Systems. This enables T-FLEX CAD users to create linked simulation projects, solve various variant research tasks, including complex design optimization tasks.

As reported, integration is at the API level, and the parametric capabilities of T-FLEX CAD have optimized development. Thanks to T-FLEX CAD parameterization, geometric models are rebuilt to the specified parameters, which allows you to automate the time-consuming process of designing complex technical systems by quickly obtaining various configurations and versions of designed products, as well as carry out different calculations for each of them. T-FLEX CAD and its applications allow you to achieve the expected results at different stages of the product life cycle without programming, thereby optimizing the efficiency of designed products, reducing the time and cost of designing and releasing final products. Integration with IOSO complements and extends the capabilities of T-FLEX CAD with a multi-dimensional (up to a hundred parameters) multi-criteria optimization and approximation algorithm, provides automated configuration of data exchange between T-FLEX CAD and IOSO in order to externally control the parameters of product geometry in T-FLEX CAD, obtain calculated characteristics and geometry files in various neutral formats. The simple integration process is ensured by the use of window interfaces without programming elements.

T-FLEX CAD - a system of three-dimensional parametric design of products of any complexity, is the development of the Russian company "Top Systems." T-FLEX CAD has a complete set of tools for creating parametric and non-parametric models of parts and assemblies of any complexity and drafting documentation.

IOSO is a domestic software platform for creating multidisciplinary projects, performing local and remote calculations in a mixed computing network, including on multiprocessor computers, in order to carry out variant and optimization calculations. Optimization algorithms provide a faster solution to large dimensions. Approximation algorithms provide the creation of multidimensional multi-criteria "surrogate" models. The capabilities of the program allow you to optimize the costs and timing of creating competitive complex technical systems. Developer - SIGMA Technology.

CAE solutions help optimize the costs of field experiment and prototyping, as well as the timing of product launch. Our T-FLEX PLM suite includes software products that solve the problems of engineering analysis. These products are combined under the general name "T-FLEX CAE." Automated engineering analysis technologies are among the most knowledge-intensive among PLM technologies, so we join forces with other developers in this class of solutions to provide our customers with the most comprehensive and complete CAE solutions running on our T-FLEX CAD. Parametric platforms - T-FLEX CAD for design and IOSO for optimization - were destined to combine to produce a single integrated solution. We see a need to solve optimization problems related to engineering calculations. T-FLEX CAE calculation systems initially support parametric optimization of our own design. However, some of our customers require more advanced multi-criteria optimization algorithms. They now have such opportunities. This will optimize the design process of complex equipment. noted Sergey Babichev, Head of Engineering Analysis, Top Systems

Production technologies are not possible without the use of PLM systems that include automated engineering analysis (CAE). Clearly understanding that as a PLM platform developer, we need to provide a complete and comprehensive technology stack of products for managing the entire product lifecycle, we have included software products in our T-FLEX PLM software package that allow us to assess the behavior of a computer prototype product in real-world operating conditions. In addition, our T-FLEX CAD system, thanks to the open API, allows you to integrate with various third-party systems and platforms, take advantage of advanced developments, the capabilities of third-party programs and solutions, and expand both the functionality of T-FLEX CAD and the T-FLEX PLM software complex as a whole. added Sergei Kozlov, Development Director, Top Systems Company

According to the developers, the combined use of the two solutions will be in demand in different areas: automotive, aircraft and space industries, instrumentation, power and others.
