CAPRI - Our software solutions from CADNEXUS, Inc.  enable organizations that rely on simulation driven design to integrate key engineering tools and processes to improve product quality, accelerate time-to-market, and reduce engineering inefficiencies and costs. CAPRI enables reliable CAD-to-CAE interoperability throughout the entire product development lifecycle.

The benefits to customers include:

i) Accelerate Simulation Results - Reliable associative bi-directional link to CAD enables simulation pre-processing to be automatically updated without any manual intervention. CAPRI enables analysts to access the design intelligence in the CAD models to perform design space exploration, DOE, and optimization with ease.

ii) Collaborate Efficiently - Analysts can communicate design changes faster through a dynamic bi-directional exchange with native CAD. CAPRI can be seamlessly extended from a desktop to a web-enabled cross-platform, distributed computing environment, for unmatched productivity through real-time collaboration.

iii) Integrate Effortlessly - CAPRI can dramatically reduce the time and effort to develop and maintain a collaborative simulation environment that is tightly integrated with  an organizations strategic CAD platform. A unified, vendor-independant, integration platform, solves interoperability challenges, lowers IT and long term maintenance costs.

CAPRI products include:

1) Matlab Connector (Various CAD to Matlab)

2) CAE Connector (CAD export to common pre-processor formats, meshing and CAE tools such as STL, ANSYS, ICEM CFD, CART3D, ABAQUS, TETGEN, CGT OVERGRID,  NASTRAN, GRIDGEN, PATRAN, IDEAS)

Multi-Disciplinary & Multi-Criterias Design Optimization

IOSO® Technology is based on the response surface technology. That is why our strategy differs significantly from the well-known approaches to optimization. Our strategy has higher efficiency and provides wider range of capabilities than standard algorithms.  The main advantage one can get from using the IOSO Technology is ability to solve very complex optimization tasks.

IOSO® Technology algorithms:

•  Are independent of the optimization task types

• Have good global properties and in the majority of the cases are able to find the global optimum

• Have high convergence rate and allow to quickly and efficiently find the region where optimum is located

• Are highly robust with the respect to the computational process

• Allow for robust solving of stochastic optimization tasks, even if such problems have high level of noise

• Provide the capabilities to solve real-life optimization tasks that involve complex modern high fidelity mathematical models or engineering applications (for example, 3D CAD, CFD or FEA software).

• Allow for solving robust design optimization tasks, including multidimensional single and multi-objectives optimization tasks.

• Are very simple to use even for solving complex practical tasks of nonlinear optimization.
• Have full-automatic optimization algorithms which do not need to be tuned up by a user.
