Three or four years ago, generative design started to garner industry attention, first as a new design principle, later as a series of AI-like software that generates optimal topology or geometry based on user-defined input (such as loads, stresses, weight limit or mass limit). But very quickly, early adopters came to realize a piece of the puzzle was missing: manufacturing…

The cloud is where the works of the telecom providers and the design software makers intersect. The two seemingly disparate universes collide when CAD moves to the cloud and simulation solvers take advantage of cloud computing, aiming to overcome the personal workstation's finite computing limits. So how will the much anticipated arrival of 5G affect the design software delivery, usage,…

About six or seven years ago, when Martijn Tideman first joined TASS International, convincing car makers to use simulation software was an uphill battle. “They’d tell me, ‘It would never work. We’ve been doing road testing for 30 years. That’s what we’ll continue to focus on,’” he recalled the conversations. His current PowerPoint deck for sales calls still includes a…

Welcome Mars settlers! Please print your habitat here. If what NASA envisions becomes a reality, such a sign may very well greet the pioneering earthlings who decide to relocate to Mars. In late 2015, as part of its Centennial Challenges program, NASA held a design competition “to build a 3D-printed habitat for deep space exploration, including the agency’s journey to…
