FAQs

Explore our frequently asked questions to understand how our software can benefit you.

What time savings does Design Explorer provide?

Design Explorer automates trade-off analysis that traditionally requires days of manual effort. Engineers compare dozens of design variants across multiple KPIs in minutes, making informed decisions faster.

What is the Design of Experiments capability in Cognitive Design?

Cognitive Design includes automated Design of Experiments functionality that systematically varies input parameters to understand their impact on outputs. This helps engineers identify critical design drivers and optimise robustly across parameter ranges.

What is topology optimisation in Cognitive Design?

Topology optimisation in Cognitive Design determines the optimal material layout within a design space. The algorithm removes unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity, resulting in lightweight parts that meet all performance specifications.

How does the Design Explorer feature work?

Design Explorer enables comprehensive design space exploration by automatically generating and evaluating multiple design variants. Engineers can track KPIs across all configurations, compare trade-offs visually, and identify the best candidates based on performance, weight, and cost criteria.

How does implicit geometry work in Cognitive Design?

Cognitive Design uses implicit geometry representation, defining shapes through mathematical functions rather than boundary meshes. This approach enables smooth topology transitions, eliminates mesh-related artefacts, and supports complex lattice structures and organic forms naturally.

How does Cognitive Design handle design iterations?

Design iterations in Cognitive Design build on previous results intelligently. The platform preserves successful aspects while exploring improvements, converging efficiently toward optimal solutions without redundant exploration.

How does Cognitive Design generate optimised part geometries?

Cognitive Design uses generative design algorithms driven by performance requirements and manufacturing constraints. The software explores thousands of design variations simultaneously, identifying optimal material distributions that meet structural and manufacturability criteria.

How does Cognitive Design accelerate design iterations?

Cognitive Design generates and evaluates design variants in minutes rather than days. Automated simulation and manufacturability checking eliminate manual iteration steps, enabling engineers to explore ten times more concepts in the same timeframe.
