This course follows the nTop Foundations course to introduce users to the fundamental modeling tools and operations that engineers can use to create complex geometries by harnessing the power of implicit modeling, field-driven design, and the curve and profile capabilities.
The course contains several hands-on tutorials to help you to learn by doing and get familiar with nTop’s modeling capabilities.

I found this course extremely useful and well-structured. It provides a solid foundation on implicit modeling and field-driven design, which are key concepts for understanding nTop’s approach.
I particularly appreciated the section on field-driven geometry modifications, which clearly shows how mathematical fields can control geometry, a fascinating and powerful concept.
The Spherecube and Gear examples were excellent for getting hands-on experience, while the imported geometry and CAD integration part was especially valuable for me, since I plan to use nTop with geometries created in Siemens NX.
The Challenge: Bracket exercise was a great way to practice and consolidate what I learned.
In the second part, the section on Curve and Profile modeling was one of my favorites. The Double Pipe HEX example looked complex at first, but the workflow was so well explained that it became surprisingly easy to build and parametrize. I also found the use of Lists and Sequence blocks particularly interesting, as it opens the door to workflow automation and parametric iteration.
Overall, this course is an excellent starting point to understand nTop’s unique modeling approach and its potential for engineering design automation. Highly recommended!
