Topology results become editable concepts through PolyNURBS
Inspire starts with design spaces, loads and constraints, then removes unneeded material to generate a structurally efficient shape. Manufacturing controls such as symmetry and draw direction guide the optimization toward a usable concept. The Shape Explorer can smooth the result and fit a PolyNURBS body, providing continuous geometry that can be edited and exported instead of leaving the designer with only an analysis mesh.
Structural load cases and mechanism motion feed the same design loop
Structural analysis reports stress, displacement and factor of safety for parts and assemblies, while Motion represents joints, motors, actuators, springs and contacts across an operating cycle. Motion loads can inform structural decisions, and the geometry can be revised without leaving the concept model. This makes Inspire useful for comparing both a part's load path and an assembly's movement before detailed engineering.
Implicit lattices turn fields and meshes into controllable geometry
Implicit Modeling combines primitives, lattices, point clouds and fields with Boolean, offset, smoothing and morphing operations. Analysis results can drive an implicit field, allowing lattice thickness or another parameter to follow simulated behavior without an intermediate geometry conversion. CAD, PolyNURBS, mesh and optimized parts can all be converted into the implicit workflow.
The 2026.1 offer adds native slice export and side-by-side result views
The 2026 release family can export implicit parts directly as .cli or .3mf slice data without first creating a mesh. It also adds adaptive remeshing, H3D export for structural results and multiwindow layouts for viewing several analysis or optimization runs together. Choose 2026.1 when those result-review and implicit-manufacturing handoffs matter; 2025.0 retains the established optimization, PolyNURBS, structures, motion and implicit-modeling core.
