About this webinar

Each release, the Cognitive Design team runs a live product demo to show exactly what shipped and how it performs on real engineering challenges. Demo-first, with the platform running throughout and the features that matter front and center.

Cognitive Design 2.1 brings two major additions: native thermo-mechanical simulation and a significant step forward in Manufacturing-Driven Design for Machining, alongside simulation and topology optimization improvements.

What you'll see

  • Thermo-mechanical simulation, now native to Cognitive Design. Heat exchangers, cold plates, structural engine parts, electronics brackets: thermal-driven design can now be explored and validated at the same speed as structural work, within the same platform and workflow.
  • Flexible Remote Load for more realistic boundary conditions. More complex, more realistic loading scenarios at concept stage.
  • Manufacturing-Driven Design for Machining Enhancement. Direct control over pocket geometry and surface finish, producing cleaner, more realistic machined parts from the first generation run.
  • Stress Objective for topology optimization. A new optimization lever for engineers who need to control structural integrity alongside mass and stiffness.

Who should attend

  • Mechanical and design engineers working on structural, thermal, or weight-critical parts
  • Engineering managers evaluating concept exploration and simulation tools
  • Teams looking to unify CAD, CAE, and manufacturing validation within a single concept workflow

Thanks to Cognitive Design, we were able to rapidly design and validate a structurally optimized tank that fits within our CubeSat constraints, integrates all required functions, and meets demanding pressure requirements. It’s a game-changer for enabling component design exploration high-performance propulsion in small satellite platforms.
