What is nTop Automate?

nTop Automate executes nTop Notebooks without a graphical user interface (GUI). It allows you to automatically run nTop workflows using scripts, processing multiple parts without any manual intervention, thereby eliminating some of the work that you would otherwise have to do repetitively.

nTop Automate also serves as an integration mechanism that provides a way of interfacing with external software packages such as simulation tools or other tools with Design of Experiments (DOE) and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) capabilities.

Key Capabilities Command Line Access Unlocks

With a reusable nTop workflow as a starting point, you can build more intelligence into your workflow via scripting with Python or any other languages to control your parameters. Computationally heavy processes or generation of multiple design variations can be headlessly executed. Other processes in your workflow that require other software tools can also be coupled into the process.

Example Use Cases

Essentially, the core of nTop Automate is the reusing of existing nTop workflows to process a series of inputs in the same way. Our customers have been seeing huge value in time-saving for their specific applications. Below are some examples of how we’ve seen our command line capabilities being utilized.
