ESTECO Releases VOLTA, modeFRONTIER 2025R3

TRIESTE, Italy, Aug 5, 2025 – ESTECO is pleased to announce that the new VOLTA and modeFRONTIER 2025R3 are now available. modeFRONTIER introduces redesigned self-organizing maps (SOM) and principal component analysis (PCA) tool. VOLTA adds dashboard import of simulation post-processing analysis, making it easier to reuse and iterate on visualizations throughout your design process.

Release highlights

Brand new SOM and PCA post-processing tools in modeFRONTIER

The SOM and PCA tools have been completely redesigned to improve usability and efficiency. With the new intuitive interface, you can now train multiple SOM and PCA models in parallel, each with customizable algorithm settings, variables, and scaling options.

Extended script parameter tagging

We have significantly expanded the scope of the tagging feature in modeFRONTIER. This enhancement includes:

  • Universal script node coverage: automating parameter tagging is now available for all script nodes.
  • Read-only script support: you can now benefit from parameter tagging even in the non-editable scripts referenced from VOLTA or the data store node.
  • Matlab and Octave compatibility: parameter tagging functionality has also been extended to support Matlab and Octave scripts.

MUSA optimization algorithm: continuously evolving

We’ve released new features and improvements to make your work in MUSA more effective and adaptable. These changes are designed to give you more control and options as you use MUSA for optimization tasks in modeFRONTIER.

  • Time-bound runs: You can now set a time limit for algorithm searches, in addition to the maximum number of evaluations. This means your runs will stop exactly when you need them to.
  • Enhanced local search: The Powell and Simplex methods are now available for single-objective continuous problems as derivative-free alternatives to SQP algorithms. While they use a different approach, they can require fewer evaluations and do not compute derivatives.

VOLTA Advisor: import dashboards of post-processing analysis

This new feature makes it easy to reuse dashboard configurations across design iterations or updated datasets, without rebuilding from scratch. For example, a dashboard based on the simulation results of a design of experiments (DOE) can be quickly applied to other results where you’ve changed the domain or algorithm — no need to recreate your visualizations from the ground up.

VOLTA Cloud deployment moves to MongoDB

VOLTA lays the foundation for a future more scalable cloud-based platform by moving to MongoDB, an NoSQL database system. This transition is a major step toward enabling horizontal scalability for future cloud deployments — more resilience, better performance, and a platform that grows with you.

For other new features please refer to the release notes included in the software updates.

Tech Soft 3D Joins AOUSD, Adds Support to Accelerate 3D Interoperability with CAD in OpenUSD, NVIDIA Omniverse Workflows

BEND, OR and SANTA CLARA, CA, USA, Aug 5, 2025 – Tech Soft 3D, a leading provider of engineering software development tools, and NVIDIA announced a collaboration centered around Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) and the NVIDIA Omniverse platform.

“Tech Soft 3D’s investment in USD is great news for the entire industrial and CAD ecosystem,” says Aaron Luk, Director of Product Management at NVIDIA.

Tech Soft 3D has also officially joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) and will be contributing jointly with NVIDIA and other alliance members to the continued development and definition of the OpenUSD standard. Since 2022, NVIDIA has been licensing HOOPS Exchange, Tech Soft 3D’s powerful CAD data access toolkit, to enable native CAD file conversion into OpenUSD — a critical step in allowing developers to build 3D digital twin solutions across industries.

Now, with the latest release of HOOPS Exchange, developers can export data directly from the most popular CAD applications to USD, the foundational format for the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform and a key enabler of 3D interoperability across AI and simulation workflows and applications. This new capability supports seamless, high-fidelity translation of engineering data for use in visualization, simulation, and large-scale digital twin environments developed on Omniverse libraries.

“This evolution of HOOPS Exchange is a huge leap forward for the engineering software community,” said Gavin Bridgeman, CTO of Tech Soft 3D. “Our mission has always been to empower developers with the best tools to unlock the full value of their rich engineering data. By enabling export to USD, we’re accelerating how that data fuels next-gen digital twins, immersive simulations, and AI-powered experiences across both consumer and industrial applications.”

With HOOPS Exchange now supporting export to USD, developers can bring rich engineering data from over 30 CAD file formats—including CATIA®, STEP, SOLIDWORKS®, and many others—into any 3D application that supports the USD format, enabling powerful workflows across a broad and growing ecosystem of USD-compatible tools. As USD rapidly becomes the interoperability standard for aggregating 3D and other digital content at scale, this capability empowers engineering software developers to deliver seamless, high-fidelity experiences for visualization, simulation, and digital twin creation across the entire product lifecycle.

“Tech Soft 3D’s investment in USD is great news for the entire industrial and CAD ecosystem,” says Aaron Luk, Director of Product Management at NVIDIA. “HOOPS offers an unparalleled opportunity for CAD users to seamlessly connect their data to USD, unleashing the immense power of its composition capabilities to aggregate diverse data sources and construct comprehensive digital twins for industrial and physical AI use cases.”

Those in the Tech Soft 3D developer ecosystem can now better integrate with the OpenUSD ecosystem, empowering thousands of engineering software developers to explore and innovate without barriers.
