Transform Engineering Workflows. Accelerate Program Success.
Build winning proposals and accelerate development. nTop’s advanced design & simulation tools enable comprehensive tradespace exploration, rapid component optimization, and design strategies that capitalize on advanced manufacturing.
One platform to explore aircraft architectures and optimize component designs at scale
Design high-performance systems
Rapidly generate and evaluate architectural variations using simulation-ready parametric models that reflect mission intent.
Capture & reuse engineering logic
Turn expert workflows into reusable blocks that adapt to changing requirements without rebuilding geometry from scratch.
Simulate while you design
Validate performance in the loop and eliminate weeks of trial-and-error. Simulation and physics fields are embedded directly in the modeling process.
Connect to your digital thread
Integrate clean, watertight geometry into downstream analysis, MDO tools, and additive manufacturing processes with minimal handoff friction.
Powerful workflows for every phase of defense system design
Conceptual Design: Explore architectures with confidence
Model entire systems parametrically, simulate as you go, and explore the trade space before it locks. Generate hundreds of design variants without rebuilds or delays.
Rapid concept iteration
Near real-time simulation
AI/ML accelerated inverse design
Detailed Design: Deliver high-fidelity geometry that holds up
Create robust, simulation-ready geometry that adapts to real-world complexity. Make late-stage changes without fear of rebuild failures, and maintain traceability from requirements to results.
Unbreakable design generation
Simulation without the meshing bottleneck
Multifunctional design
DfAM: Build lighter, stronger, smarter, parts
Create lattice-filled, topology-optimized, field-driven structures in minutes, not months. nTop workflows are production-ready and tuned for real-world AM constraints.
TPMS heat exchanger design
Internal flow simulation
Performance-driven design
How blueflite reduced fuselage mass 25% in 4 hours instead of 4 weeks
Drone-based logistics platform provider blueflite used nTop to develop an aerodynamic, lightweight fuselage to battle the toughest problems in aviation: gravity and drag. The team also worked with the experts in the nTop solutions engineering team to help build timesaving reusable workflows.
Faster concepts. More credible designs. More program wins.
See how top defense contractors use nTop to move from mission requirements to manufacturable geometry — without the bottlenecks of traditional CAD and simulation.
