Automation

Build it once. Run it a thousand times.

Turn design intent into reusable computational workflows—capture engineering knowledge that executes reliably across vast parameter ranges, integrates seamlessly with MDO frameworks, and eliminates manual intervention from geometry generation.

Stop repeating yourself.

Creating parametric CAD models requires weeks of feature tree management and debugging. When parameters change, models break. When you need variants, you start over. When external tools need geometry, you manually export, clean, and repair.

nTop's programmatic modeling environment captures design logic as code that remains stable across broad parameter ranges, enabling automated design exploration without manual rework at each iteration.

Capture intent, not just geometry

Transform "what you did" into "how to do it again and again."

Build design workflows where every step represents engineering logic—from airfoil equations to assembly constraints. Change any upstream parameter and the entire model updates instantly without constraint conflicts or rebuild failures.

Build reusable engineering components

Encode expertise once, deploy it everywhere.

Define custom blocks for recurring design elements—airfoils, fuselage sections, turbine blades, ducting—that capture domain knowledge and parameterization patterns. These components become building blocks for rapid concept generation across multiple programs.

Feed geometry-starved engineering processes

nTop is the geometry engine for your optimization loop.

Run nTop notebooks programmatically through a command-line interface that accepts parameter inputs and returns geometry outputs. Connect external simulation tools and MDO platforms to control nTop directly—generating thousands of design variants without manual intervention.


Faster execution. Zero manual steps.

nTop eliminates the manual bottlenecks that limit design space exploration and force premature convergence on suboptimal concepts.

Robust parametric execution

Generate design variants at scale without model tree failures or manual repair.

Knowledge captured as code

Encode design intent in reusable blocks that implement proven engineering methods.

Lights-out MDO

Integrate nTop into automated workflows where external tools control parameter inputs.

Requirements to production

Capture end-to-end design-to-manufacturing workflows.


“nTop built a stepwise methodology that let us simulate over 400 design points in just a few hours, without a single failure.”
