Special Focus: Simulation & Design Software Innovations

The design and simulation software market continues to rapidly evolve and change. Design tools increasingly incorporate design-for-additive tools and generative design strategies.

Engineers are using more cloud-based tools and resources. And simulation is now part of the day-to-day workflow of many non-experts in the design chain.

In this Special Focus Issue, our editors and writers examine these technology trends. Within, you will find stories about new software licensing models, strategies for generative design, open source technology and the integration of AI and machine learning into design processes.
