nTop Automate
Multiply the impact of your engineers with programmatic design automation at scale.
Why use nTop Automate?
nTop Automate enables you to execute design workflows at scale in a programmatic environment.
Design automation
Make design automation easy and combine inputs from different sources to build more intelligent workflows using nTop’s command line interface (CLI).
Flexible
Run nTop workflows from a variety of programming environments and process automation tools. Execute on a desktop, a server, or the cloud.
Streamlined deployment
Create and update workflows without specialized software development skills, and connect with CAD, CAE, or MDO tools to enhance your process.
How does nTop Automate work?
Easily build reusable design processes with minimal programming skills.
Design
Create your ideal nTop workflow and prepare it for automation.
Automate
Run nTop files headlessly through the command line or write scripts.
Scale
Execute nTop Automate either on a desktop, a server, or in the cloud.
