The artificial intelligence (AI) extension takes into account manufacturing processes and evaluates the result without the need to construct and verify individual designs. This will increase functionality and lifetime product functionality and reduce material consumption and production costs.

Extension benefits

Increased productivity: Automate a number of time-consuming and repetitive tasks in the design process, such as generating and evaluating design options. This saves time for designers/engineers to focus on more creative and strategic aspects of the design and can lead to a significant acceleration of the design cycle.

Performance improvement: Optimising designs for specific criteria such as strength, stiffness, weight and cost. This can lead to products that are lighter, stronger and more durable without compromising their performance or manufacturability.

Cost reduction: Identify opportunities to reduce material consumption, consolidate parts and simplify production processes. This can lead to significant reductions in product manufacturing costs.

Features

Generative design: Creates multiple product design options that meet given criteria without changing weight, durability or performance.

Methods and limitations of production: Creates production ready designs taking into account criteria, constraints, materials and production capabilities.

Machine learning and AI: Explores designs created in the cloud based on visual similarities, graphs and filters powered by machine learning.

Native editable results: Exports the selected design directly to your modeling environment for further editing.

Solution in the cloud: Solves multiple design results simultaneously, saving time to focus on other tasks.

Cost calculation: Estimates production costs for each design generated based on production requirements.
