On February 21, 2025, according to the Resource Library, NTOP, a global cutting -edge computer design software, recently announced the acquisition of Cloudfluid, a German software developer for Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
This strategic measure will further strengthen the technical advantages of NTop in the field of computer design.
The technological integration of NTop and Cloudsluid
NTop is known for its implicit modeling and calculation design platforms and is committed to accelerating engineering design processes via automation technology. The acquisition of Cloudfluid marks the new expansion of NTOP in the field of simulation.
Cloudfluid CFD software uses the advanced Boltzmann network (LBM) to effectively simulate complex fluid phenomena such as turbulence, thermal management and solid fluid coupling. This technology is perfectly complementary to the existing capacities of the topology and generation of NTOP, offering users more complete design tools.
By incorporating the Cloudsluid solver into the NTOP platform, users can complete thousands of CFD simulations in a short time to generate high-precision performance data. This data can not only be used for traditional design verification, but also support the automation of the IA -oriented design, further improving design efficiency.
“Our objective is to help engineers go from demand to the fastest speed design, which is the fundamental value of calculation design. However, physical problem solving has always been a major bottleneck in the design process, especially when it takes a lot of time to calculate the mesh and convergent solutions. Cloudfluid’s Technology Solte completely this problem by integrating directly into our trace of modeling, CFD in a design problem. “
Synergies between the acceleration of the GPU and the AI-AI
Cloudfluid technology is based on the development of GPU natives and is very compatible with the existing Nvidia partnership of NTOP. This combination not only considerably improves IT efficiency, but also allows NTop to fully use the accelerated IT capacities of the GPU, to further shorten the simulation time and to obtain a more effective real -time design exploration.
In addition, CFD technology accelerated by Cloudsuid GPUs combined with the AI design approach provides new possibilities to automated engineering workflows. In the future, engineers can focus more on the guidance of design intention, while complex optimization and verification tasks will be automatically carried out by IT tools.
Applications of industry and future potential
The integration of NTOP and Cloudfluid technology will considerably improve the effectiveness of engineering design, in particular in the fields of application where fluid dynamics plays a key role. For example, in aerospace, the manufacture of automotive and medical equipment, structural optimization and analysis of fluid performance are often the central links of product design. Thanks to the NTOP platform, engineers can quickly browse geometric design and performance verification in a single environment, thus accelerating product development cycles and reducing R&D costs.
This integration also complies with NTOP’s long -term vision to promote full automation of engineering design processes via AI and high -performance IT technologies. With the deep integration of design and simulation technology, engineers will be able to respond more effectively to complex engineering challenges and to promote industry innovation.
Trends in the integration of design and simulation
NTOP of Cloudfluid reflects the trend in the integration of design and simulation technology. In recent years, engineers have grown up in requesting an integrated software environment, in the hope of optimizing the design process with real -time comments and integrated tools.

Additive Manufacturing Research Corporation (AMR) in its“Adding manufacturing software market opportunities in 2023”“Future additive manufacturing activities will be more efficient and standardized by integrating generative design, topological optimization, additive manufacturing simulation and construction preparation in a single platform,” said the report.
The combination of Ntop and Cloudsluid is a reflection of this trend. In the future, the NTOP platform should become the “basic platform” in the field of engineering design, providing users with complete design process solutions to simulation.
The Future: Automation and Intelligent Design
This acquisition is not only an important expansion of the technical territory of NTop, but also brings more possibilities to the future design of engineering. With the deep integration of AI, generative design and high -speed simulation technology, engineering workflows will develop in a more automated and intelligent direction. Engineers can focus more on innovative conceptions, while complex calculation and verification tasks will be performed effectively by intelligent tools.
