Conformal isogrid ribbing on low bypass turbofan engine casing

Isogrids are triangular ribs used in aerospace to stiffen lightweight structures. Designing isogrid ribs that conform to a surface in traditional CAD can be challenging, especially when the geometry has a large curvature.

In this nTop Live, Evan Pilz, Application Engineer at nTop, goes through the steps you need to follow to add conformal isogrid ribs on the casing of a turbine engine using the least amount of effort in nTop.

Watch and learn how to:

• Apply conformal isogrid ribbing to any surface in nTop
• Create multiple design iterations 10x faster to identify the optimal solution
• Automate your workflows and reuse them in different parts to save time
