oSP3D Overview

The primary objective of oSP3D is to extend optiSLang's capabilities to distributed data like FEM mesh data (3D) or signals (1D and 2D). With oSP3D, you can visualize various statistical properties, analyze and expand random fields, simulate random structural designs, and much more.

oSP3D Algorithms

oSP3D provides algorithms for:

  • Real-time approximations of 3D, 2D, and 1D field data

  • Free-form shape optimization

  • Automatic parametrization of spatial variations based on virtual or real experiments

  • Mesh morphing for the creation of new random designs

  • Analysis of random properties of structures by inspecting statistics on the structure

  • Detection of hot spots at potential failure locations, sensor positions, and so on

  • Random field modeling

  • Analysis of measurements such as STL and photos

 

oSP3D algorithms can be grouped as follows:

  • Statistical hot spot detection

  • For data-based ROMs, sensitivity analysis and approximation with field-MOPs

  • Random fields based on measurements

  • Random fields based on autocorrelation models

oSP3D Software Features

The following software features support your multi-dimensional data analysis:

  • Ansys Mechanical plugin for geometric imperfections and result export

  • GUI for import, export, analysis, and visualization

  • Standalone oSP3D 3D viewer

  • Interactive visualization with sliders for meta models

  • Display changes of geometry and their effect on component behavior

  • Embedded scripting (Lua) for very fast loops on large data sets

  • Binary interfaces to field-MOP (DLL)

  • Several CAE interfaces (ANSYS, ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, NASTRAN, STL, PNG, and more)
