Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
OSSmooth is a semi-automated design interpretation software, facilitating the recovery of a modified geometry resulting
from a structural optimization, for further use in the design process and FEA reanalysis.
Topology optimization results are interpreted to provide an iso-density surface based on the volumetric density information
of a topology optimization, which is conducted using OptiStruct.
FEA topology for reanalysis provides an iso-density surface based on the volumetric density information from a topology
optimization. Through tetrameshing for 3D models and inheriting boundary conditions, the results from FEA topology can
be used for quick reanalysis.
The FEA topography option in OSSmooth allows the results from an OptiStruct topography optimization to be interpreted as one or two level beads and recover boundary conditions upon geometry extraction.
An option for iso surface is also provided for combined use, which performs the same functionality as FEA topology, with
FEA topography.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.

The autobead feature of OSSmooth allows OptiStruct
topography optimization results to be interpreted as one or two level beads.
Figure 1
shows the level of detail captured in both cases; while the 2-level approach captures more
details, it is more complicated to manufacture than the 1-level interpretation, often
without significant performance gain.
Example: Autobead Result from Topograph Optimization
Example: 2-Layer Autobead Result from Topography Optimization
Some topography performances are relying on the half translation part. OSSmooth can
interpolate topography optimization results to 2-layer autobead (autobead third argument
2).
