FAQs
Explore our frequently asked questions to understand how our software can benefit you.
Engineers typically become productive within one to two weeks of training. The intuitive interface builds on familiar CAD concepts while structured courses cover optimisation setup, manufacturing constraints, and workflow automation.
Cognitive Design generates customisable reports including design summaries, comparison matrices, and performance charts. Reports export to standard formats for integration into technical documentation and project deliverables.
Engineers generate first optimised concepts within a few hours of defining requirements using Cognitive Design. Traditional approaches requiring manual CAD modelling and separate simulation take days or weeks to reach equivalent design maturity.
Cognitive Design exports optimised geometries in industry-standard formats including STEP, STL, and native CAD formats. The platform maintains high geometric fidelity during export, ensuring seamless integration with downstream CAD/CAM systems and manufacturing workflows.
Cognitive Design is an AI-powered concept exploration platform for mechanical and thermo-mechanical parts. It combines generative design, topology optimisation, and integrated simulation to accelerate the design phase while ensuring manufacturing feasibility from the start.
Cognitive Design offers flexible deployment including on-premise installation and private cloud options. On-premise deployment ensures complete data sovereignty, meeting security requirements of aerospace, defence, and regulated industries.
Cognitive Design reduces concept phase duration from 24-38 weeks to 4-6 weeks typically. By running simulation and manufacturability checks concurrently with design exploration, engineers eliminate sequential iteration delays that dominate traditional workflows.
Weight reductions of 30-45% directly reduce material costs and improve product performance. In aerospace and automotive applications, lighter parts also reduce operational costs through improved fuel efficiency over product lifetime.
Projects using Cognitive Design meet milestones more predictably by front-loading design exploration. Reduced iteration loops and earlier issue detection prevent schedule overruns that plague traditional development approaches.
On-premise deployment installs Cognitive Design entirely within customer infrastructure. All design data, optimisation results, and intellectual property remain on local servers with no external data transmission required.
Cognitive Design exchanges data with major CAD platforms through standard formats like STEP and IGES. Optimised geometries import directly into SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or Creo for detailed design refinement and documentation.
Thorough virtual exploration reduces physical prototype iterations by 40-60%. Each avoided prototype cycle saves thousands in tooling, material, and testing costs while accelerating development timelines.
Every design decision in Cognitive Design is automatically documented with full parameter history. Engineers can trace any geometry back to its input requirements, constraints, and optimisation settings, supporting quality audits and regulatory compliance.
Cognitive Design generates comprehensive reports showing design evolution, trade-off analyses, and performance summaries. Interactive visualisations and comparative charts support effective design review meetings with technical and management stakeholders.
