Introduction
NEXUS is an advanced multidisciplinary and multi-objective optimization software that integrates three major functional methods: experimental design, approximate modeling, and optimization design. It automates a large amount of manual work by software
Main advantages
1. Easy to understand and use. NEXUS provides an intuitive and optimized graphical user interface, where users can switch within a few windows and complete optimization tasks with just a few mouse clicks.
2. Strong integration and process control capabilities. The unique AsciiNavigator in NEXUS can integrate various simulation software on the market, such as SolidWorks, Abaqus, Nastran, Fluent, Ansys, Adams, etc.
3. Advanced algorithms and external libraries. NEXUS includes a variety of advanced experimental designs, approximate models, and optimization algorithms, and can communicate directly with external JAVA, Python, Matlab, and others.
4. Multiple fast post-processing methods. NEXUS provides various 2D and 3D graphic display functions, allowing users to customize the graphic display effects according to their needs.
5. Dedicated database interface. NEXUS supports four external databases: SQLite, Firebird, PostGreSQL, and MsAccess, allowing users to easily reproduce and reuse data.
6. Parallel and distributed computing. NEXUS has unique Executor and AsciiNavigator SSH, providing parallel distributed computing capabilities, making it easy to solve time-consuming problems in complex optimization designs.
7. Secondary development and extended architecture. NEXUS has a flexible, scalable, and customizable kernel that allows users to use the secondary development SDK module to define unique nodes, embed custom optimizations, approximate models, and other algorithms.
