Cognitive Design by CDS
Description
Cognitive Design by CDS is a next-generation concurrent engineering platform using advanced generative methods to help engineers accelerate the design cycle for high-performance, manufacturable parts.
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.
Key capabilities in our new version Cognitive Design 2.0:
- Generative Design: Create parts (brackets, housings, frames, etc.) rapidly with a manufacturing-aware topology and geometry toolset to hit weight, stiffness, and thermal targets.
- Manufacturing-Driven Design: Integrate Design for Manufacturing constraints (including AM rules with overhang angles, powder-removal holes, variable shells/lattices/ribbing, support estimation...) early to avoid rework.
- Simulation-Driven Design: Link concepts to multiphysics results for evidence-based decisions and leverage our meshless solver for high compute throughput and targeted optimization (variable TPMS, lattices, offsets, shells, etc.).
- Reusable Workflow: Turn expert steps into parameterized templates for consistent, repeatable variant generation. Improve, save, adapt, and reuse at scale across product families.
We serve large OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across Aerospace, Space, Defence, and Automotive in Japan, Europe, and the US.
