Keynote
AI is My Copilot: Are AI-Powered Tools Reliable
Enough for Design and Simulation Workflows?
Join us for our latest Digital Engineering Design and Simulation Summit this October 30, 2025.
Design and simulation software vendors have been adding AI-powered copilots and assistants, capable of understanding natural language. In theory, they can peruse public forums and internal databases to answer users’ technical questions, or offer step-by-step guidance on complex processes like 3D modeling and simulation setup. In this LIVE keynote, our expert panelists discuss the strengths and weaknesses of AI-powered features in design and simulation software.

Session 1
Design & Simulation

Turning Atmospheric Pressure into Energy for Safer Space Design

In this session, Fabien Chancel presents the award-winning Static Pressure Launch (SPL) concept, a simulation-led design that uses the natural pressure differential between sea level and the stratosphere to create thrust, without springs, compressed gas, or explosives.

Session 2
Additive Manufacturing

Post-Processing: The Key to Additive Manufacturing Success

AM is typically portrayed as the net-shape, print-and-go, ready-to-deploy manufacturing technology. However, designs with intricate details and small features, and manufacturing using metal powders still pose a challenge. This session will cover macro orientations, micro locations and post-processing methods.
