Discover How Coreform Accelerates High-Performance Simulation Using Spatial’s 3D SDKs

Coreform is transforming simulation with innovative isogeometric analysis (IGA) technology by helping engineering teams reduce pre-processing time and achieve more accurate simulation results, faster.

To support this mission, Coreform integrated Spatial’s 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp SDKs into their Coreform Flex and Coreform Cubit platforms. This powerful combination allows users to import precise CAD data, automate Boolean pre-processing, and run simulations directly on native geometry — eliminating the need for traditional meshing.

 Through a close partnership with Spatial’s R&D and support teams, Coreform tailored the ACIS kernel to meet demanding performance needs and push the limits of simulation technology.

The Challenge 

To support their next-generation solver, Coreform Flex, Coreform partnered with Spatial to integrate high-performance 3D modeling and interoperability into their pre-processing workflows.
By embedding 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp, they established a direct CAD-to-simulation pipeline that eliminates traditional bottlenecks such as defeaturing and conformal meshing.

Working closely with Spatial, Coreform customized low-level ACIS functionalities to meet the specific requirements of their advanced IGA technology. This collaboration enabled real-time analysis and significantly improved solver performance.

Thanks to responsive technical support and a strong long-term partnership, Spatial helped accelerate Coreform’s innovation roadmap and deliver impactful simulation solutions more efficiently.
