nTop 5.26 - What's New
Rounded Box
- The Rounded Box block creates a box with rounded corners from a center point, three length inputs, and an edge radius.
- Use this block to quickly create base design space, enclosures, or other box-like shapes that require smooth, filleted edges.
- Location: Create > Primitives
. Center Point: Center Point of the box.
. Length: Length of the box along the X-axis.
. Width: Length of the box along the Y-axis.
. Height: Length of the box along the Z-axis.
. Radius: Radius applied to the edges of the box.
. Output: Implicit Body

Rounded Cylinder
- The Rounded Cylinder block creates a cylinder from two point inputs and their corresponding radii.
- Use this block to quickly model objects like pipes, pins, or shafts with smooth, filleted edges in a single step.
- Location: Create > Primitives
. Point 1: Point 1 of the cylinder.
. Point 2: Point 2 of the cylinder.
. Radius: Radius of the cylinder.
. Cap Radius: Radius applied to the top and bottom faces of the cylinder.
. Output: Implicit Body

Capsule
- The Capsule block creates a capsule from two point inputs and the radius.
- Use this block to quickly model objects like housings, pins, or shafts with smooth, rounded ends in a single step.
- Location: Create > Primitives
. Point 1: Point 1 of the capsule.
. Point 2: Point 2 of the capsule.
. Radius: Radius of the capsule.
. Output: Implicit Body

Curvature Analysis
- Curvature display mode has been added to the Surface Analysis View Tool, allowing you to visualize the surface curvature of your geometry.
- Two styles are available:
. Metallic: Renders the geometry with a shiny, reflective surface, which improves the clarity of curvature and surface quality.
. Zebra: Displays a series of alternating black and white stripes on a surface. The reflection patterns of these stripes indicate the surface's curvature. You can select from three buttons to choose the orientation of the stripes and use a slider to adjust their spacing.
- Location: View Tools > Surface Analysis > Curvature

nTopologyintroduced the concept of implicit modeling for mechanical design, which is an innovative, modern, and scalable way define parts and products. It has many benefits to end-users and companies, such as the elimination of model failures, speed of changes or iterations, and scalability to name a few. But implicit modeling enables so much more. In this informational session, we'll explore a topic that is redefining product development - field-driven design. In short, field-driven design is a way for design, analysis, and manufacturing teams to overlay information into one engineering model. This approach enables orders of magnitude increase in design iteration speed and greatly improves collaboration between teams.
How Field-Driven Design Allows Engineers to Design for Additive Manufacturing
Watch this information session where we'll define field-driven design, show examples of how it enables better knowledge sharing, and show how it promotes the development of more sophisticated, highly engineered products. You'll also better understand how nTopology is addressing today's engineering problems through its nTop Platform product.
nTopologywas founded in 2015 to enable engineers and designers to create any geometry - no matter how complex - and meet the requirements of high-performance products.
