Import & Export Engineering Design Data
A typical nTopology design workflow involves importing and exporting different engineering, design, and manufacturing data.
No matter your application or workflow, nTopology provides you a pathway for data exchange and process integration.
Import
Import CAD parts or other engineering data to feed your design process.
Generate
Build reusable design workflows to generate high-performance geometry.
Export
Convert to B-Reps, meshes, slice data, or other engineering formats.
Connect
Integrate with your existing software stack to augment your processes.
nTopology in your PLM System
We understand that every PLM system is unique. For this reason, we designed nTopology’s PLM integration strategy to accommodate your custom requirements.
- Connect nTopology to your company’s digital thread to ensure compliance and boost cross-team collaboration.
- Streamline data exchange to boost productivity and save valuable engineering time.
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization
nTopology integrates with MDO software tools to act as a generative geometry microservice.
- Systematically explore the entire design space using statistical methods and automated Design of Experiments.
- Closely couple geometry generation with design analysis and verification to develop the highest-performing products.

Data & Integrations FAQ
What data can be imported & exported in nTopology?
nTopology integrates seamlessly with any design, engineering, manufacturing, and enterprise system. Our focus is to support all processes upstream and downstream to design. As such, nTopology supports the import and export of CAD geometry, meshes, FEA and CAE data, lattices, point clouds, voxels, and engineering tables. You can also export slice data for additive manufacturing in vendor-specific and open formats. For an overview of the importing and exporting capabilities of the software, visit our Help Center.
How does nTopology integrate with PLM systems?
nTopology can support your IT and QA team to extend your existing enterprise system by providing reference integrations with full documentation for two popular PLM software as well as a standalone PLM connector prototype. Read this article for more detail on how nTopology integrates with PLM systems.
What is the cost of integrating nTopology into PLM systems?
There are no additional charges from nTopology (direct or indirect) for integrating our software into your PLM system or using the nTopology PLM connector. You are only subjected to the initial implementation costs if you opt to work with a 3rd party integration vendor.
Which PLM systems do nTopology integrate with?
nTopology can connect to any enterprise PLM system through the nTopology PLM Connector. As a reference, we can provide example integrations with Siemens TeamCenter and Aras Innovator. Equivalent connections can be developed for any other PLM system through your PLM’s API or SDK, including PTC Windchill and DS Enovia. [/sc_fs_faq]
Which MDO software does nTopology integrate with?
We have demonstrated the integration of nTopology with ModeFrontier, ModelCenter, and ProcessComposer. nTopology integrates with MDO software through nTopCL — our Command Line interface. This means that any MDO software with the ability to execute command prompt commands and parse JSON files can run nTopology design optimization workflows.
