This episode of Designing the Future is brought to you by SimScale.
If engineers were historians, they would look at the evolution of humanity in terms of critical technologies: fire, the wheel, gunpowder and electricity. Many things are notable step changes in the evolution of society, and it’s widely understood the artificial intelligence is just that kind of fundamental change. In engineering design and development, software driven tools have been moving in this direction for decades, starting with computer-aided design, and moving through advanced simulation and generative design.
AI promises to take the engineering design process to a new level, but there are defined limits on what it can and can’t do. It’s early in the AI hype cycle, and disinformation is rife. What is the true state-of-the-art, and what can it do for engineering today?
Jim Anderton discussed this vital issue with David Heiny, co-founder and CEO of Munich-based SimScale.
