Cognitive Design Systems (CDS)
Revolutionize Your Engineering Workflow.
Overview
Cognitive Design Systems (CDS) develops an AI-powered concurrent engineering platform to optimize and accelerate product development. The software incorporates production constraints (for AM, casting, injection molding, etc.) directly into the design phase. It combines generative design, simulation, and manufacturability analysis to help engineers quickly explore the design space and identify optimal, feasible solutions. The platform aims to reduce development time and enhance agility in the design process.
✨ Key Features
- AI-powered Generative Design
- Concurrent Engineering Platform
- Multi-process Manufacturing Constraints (AM, Casting, Machining)
- Implicit Modeling Engine
- Parametric Design
- Integrated Performance and Cost Analysis
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on concurrent engineering, integrating manufacturing constraints early
- AI-powered platform to automate and accelerate workflows
- Strong consideration of cost and CO2 emissions alongside performance metrics
Unique Value: Reduces product development time and enhances design agility by integrating manufacturing constraints and multi-physics simulation into an AI-powered generative design process.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Automating the design of antenna reflector tripod supports for Thales Alenia Space.
- Achieving up to 50% shorter engineering lead times and 30% mass reduction.
- Analyzing parts for manufacturability and production cost early in the design stage.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Simple components not requiring multi-physics optimization.
- Users looking for a basic CAD modeling tool.
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a more holistic, concurrent engineering approach compared to tools that focus solely on topology optimization, by considering the full scope of performance, manufacturability, and cost from the outset.
