Cognitive Design Systems

A good product starts with a great question. Today, the Cognitive Design team stepped back from the screens and dove into a full day of thinking, drawing, questioning and reimagining what our product could become. We’re not just building features, we’re shaping how engineers create. After hours of sticky notes, whiteboard sketches and bold ideas, we laced up for a 5v5 football game. A few bruises, a couple of goals (some lucky ones), and a lot of laughs later, we landed at Beer Social Club to cool off and keep the conversations going, with a beer in hand this time. It’s not always in the meeting room that the best ideas are born. Sometimes, they emerge between a tackle and a toast. Here’s to bold bets, real teamwork, and the long game.

A few weeks ago, we hosted a webinar exploring how OEMs can accelerate the design of castable automotive parts through real customer projects. The focus? How to combine Generative Design, Simulation-Driven Design (SDD), and Manufacturing-Driven Design (MDD) to automate the creation of production-ready geometries. One of the use cases we illustrated, a hybrid vehicle gearbox housing, has now been turned into a concise case study, highlighting how engineers can quickly: ✅ Reduce design cycle time by a factor of 10 ✅ Minimize back-and-forth with tooling, simulation and manufacturing teams ✅ Generate castable, validated geometries that are ready for production, even when system requirements evolve mid-stream Read the full case study here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBb7PA_b Webinar replay 👉 https://lnkd.in/gm5q63Dg #design #software #manufacturing #casting #engineering

Today, our Director of Application Engineering and Services, Alejandro Carcel Lopez, presented the latest advancements we’ve made at CDS to accelerate industrial design and better support our customers' needs at the "Future of Manufacturing: AI-Driven Design an AM Innovation" congress in Helsinki. It was a great opportunity to showcase how the combination of Generative Design, AI, and advanced manufacturing methods such as Additive Manufacturing is enabling us to elevate product development for leading players in the Aeronautics, Defense, and Automotive industries. 👇

Explore design options faster with Topology Weaving 🕸️ Traditional topology optimization is powerful, but it can be time-consuming. That’s a challenge, especially in the early stages of design exploration, where speed and efficiency are key to shaping the first iteration your next high-performance part. To address this, we’re introducing Topology Weaving, a new generative design capability within Cognitive Design. Topology Weaving helps you rapidly explore and identify optimal design shapes, without the burden of long computation times and costly iterations. In this video, Théo BERTHOMIEU, Product Manager, walks you through the ins and outs of this exciting new feature and how it can support your engineering goals.

New case study: Accelerating the Design of a Castable Gearbox Housing for a Hybrid Vehicle In the race toward electrification, automotive OEMs must shorten development timelines while managing increasing architectural complexity, impacting multiple components, including gearbox housings. With constant changes in electric motor packaging inverter positioning, cooling layouts, and loadpaths, engineers must continuously adapt gearbox housing designs to: 👉 Fits within changing system architectures 👉 Meets strict performance requirements 👉 Complies with casting-specific manufacturing rules This new case study explores how we leveraged Cognitive Design to accelerate the design cycle for a castable gearbox housing - delivering results 10 times faster, even amid evolving system requirements. 📝 Explore the full case study now 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_A4rYwi #engineering #manufacturing #casting #study #design

We’re excited to unveil new capabilities in Cognitive Design 1.5!   This release helps you explore design alternatives faster and simplifies the way you build, organize, and share complex workflows, thanks to:   👉 Topology Weaving: Accelerate your early concepts This unique Generative Design app creates lightweight geometry by connecting functional zones through optimal material paths, almost instantly. Quickly test your design intent before defining load cases or running heavy simulations, without the long wait times of traditional topology optimization.   👉 Macroblocks: Build your flow once, reuse everywhere Macroblocks let you create reusable groups of components and apps to streamline complex workflows. Modify, save, and reuse them across your workflow portfolio to save time and boost consistency. Curious to see it in action?

We are delighted to unveal the new corporate identity shaped by our Sales & Marketing team as announced by Georges Caseau this morning. 👏 This marks the achievement of years of reflection and deep exchanges with our strategic customers, and as well as the beginning of a new journey for the company. 🤟😎🚀 All our software solutions and marketing supports will be updated shortly accordingly, stay tuned.

We are proud and honored to have received the "Innovation/AI/Cybersecurity" prize at the Défis d’Entreprises event, hosted by CEO - Club d'Entreprises de l'Ouest Toulousain 🏆 This recognition highlights the impact of our 2Dto3D project, which uses AI to automatically generate 3D models from complex or incomplete 2D plans. Beyond solving a critical challenge for industries that rely on legacy equipment and outdated documentation, this technology also contributes to: ✅ A reduced environmental footprint through digital transformation, by extending the life of existing assets rather than replacing them ✅ Greater agility for companies needing to quickly reindustrialize or adapt production workflows ✅ Faster, more informed decision-making, thanks to real-time data processing and large-scale pattern recognition enabled by AI We also want to mention that this project would not be where it is today without the ENSAM school, whose collaboration and expertise have been a true accelerator. CDS is proud to co-lead this innovation with them! #engineering #manufacturing #event #ai

Techinnov is happening today 🔥 We're excited to be part of one of France’s leading innovation events, taking place right now in Paris! 👋 Meet the CDS team: Georges Caseau and Alejandro Carcel Lopez are on-site to showcase the latest capabilities of Cognitive Design, our next-generation design engineering platform. Whether you're aiming to streamline high-performance part design, integrate manufacturability constraints earlier in your workflow, or simply want to exchange with our experts, we’d be glad to connect. This year, we’re also proud nominees for the Techinnov Contest in the Tech’2030 category, recognizing our commitment to transforming engineering workflows through cutting-edge design optimization. And we’re looking forward to the winner announcement 👀 👉 Curious how engineers at leading OEMs are using Cognitive Design to reduce iteration cycles and accelerate time-to-market?
