In the past, engineers relied on their industry knowledge, experience, and aesthetic sensibilities to decide the shape of a product.
Today, they have the option to turn to generative design, topology optimization, and other technologies to solicit input from AI-like algorithms. But not enough of them may be taking advantage of the new tools, or even know about them.
Our expert panelists will discuss:
• How design optimization works;
• Whether the AI- or software-proposed answers can be trusted;
• Whether automated design will replace design engineers.
