RapidCAD · Mechanical Engineering AI

Your topology software creates meshes.
Our AI creates CAD.

Send your .inp or .cdb file and get a fully editable, parametric CAD model back.

01 / The problem

Optimization gives you a mesh.
CAD needs a solid.

What you get today

An organic voxel mesh from the optimizer

What you actually need

A clean parametric solid — ready to manufacture

Engineers spend hours manually reconstructing CAD from optimized meshes.

02 / How it works

From FEA file to CAD model in three steps.

Upload .inp file

Drop your Abaqus or CalculiX input file — geometry, materials, boundary conditions, and loads are parsed automatically.

AI generates geometry

Our dedicated AI model converts the optimised mesh topology into a clean, constraint-based parametric solid. No manual sketching.

Download and edit

Export as STEP or open directly in Inventor or FreeCAD.

Under the hood — the AI loop

The LLM proposes a parametric CAD update from design intent, constraints, and previous run data.
Physics-based solvers evaluate stress, displacement, mass, and manufacturability.
Results feed back into the next prompt, iterating until targets are met with a fully editable, feature-based CAD object.

03 / Parse summary

We read your existing FEA setup.
You don't re-enter anything.

bracket_topo_opt.inp — parse summary

Geometry— 892 nodes, 1,204 elements (C3D4)
Material— Steel E = 200 GPa, ν = 0.3
Boundary conditions— 3 node sets constrained
Load cases— 2 detected

All checks passed — ready to generate CAD

04 / Examples

See it in action.

We used the same load case of a bending beam with a point load applied at the tip and fixed at the base in a cuboid design space.
While topology optimization gives you a complex mesh that is not manufacturable, our AI generates a clean truss structure ready for engineering review and downstream workflows.

Topo result

Topology optimization output

Usually a mesh-like result that is hard to edit directly and requires manual CAD reconstruction.

✗ Not editable in CAD
✗ Not ready to manufacture
✗ Requires days of manual reconstruction
