Optimal Solutions, LLC, a CFD software design company, has developed an interactive CFD design software program -- Sculptor -- that provides capabilities to perform shape deformation and optimization in CFD design in real time. By utilizing this unique tool, the numerous iterations inherent in the process when the designer has to manually modify the design are eliminated. The ASD Arbitrary Shape Deformation technology used by Sculptor automatically alters shapes that are typically very complex and hard to manipulate into designs that improve performance without having to remesh. Automated CFD engineering design has centered on shape optimization, which has been hindered by two major problems: o Inadequate shape change parameterization algorithms; and o Inadequate algorithms for CFD grid modification. The Optimal Solutions ASD method of controlling and manipulating the shape change of any type of geometry either CAD/CAM data or computational grids has made a major advancement in solving these two problems.
