Cognitive Design by CDS is an AI-powered concurrent engineering platform created to enable engineers accelerate the development of high-performance, manufacturable, and sustainable products. The platform leverages a proprietary implicit-geometry engine and a parametric design approach to tackle the most demanding engineering challenges: - Design exploration: Generate and compare high-performance concepts faster; track, evaluate, and precisely identify the right design with confidence and agility. - Design automation: Capture engineering know-how with parametric workflows; reuse them to automate design across entire product families without starting from scratch. Manufacturing-driven Design is available for Injection Molding, Casting, Forging, Additive Manufacturing
