🎙️The Future of Connected Engineering

Connected Engineering is an innovative product development method through which processes are digitized and automated. It is carried out in an open development environment and enables model-based, algorithmic modeling. A visual language describes the product construction, including all the underlying tasks and steps. This includes all parameters and tools along the product development chain, linking them together.

🚴 Trek Bicycle Competes in Tour de France With Bikes Developed Using NVIDIA GPUs

Trek Bicycle has integrated CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) into its product development process, utilizing Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and accelerated GPU computing to optimize bike aerodynamics.

By running CFD simulations 4-5 times faster on NVIDIA A100 GPUs compared to their CPU-based server, they reduced simulation runtimes by 85 days. This acceleration enables them to analyze complex physics, cut costs by reducing wind tunnel testing, and gain confidence in simulation results.

🧠 AI Helps Predict and Sketch Computer-Aided Design Models

Parametric computer-aided design (CAD) is the dominant paradigm in mechanical engineering for physical design. Distinguished by relational geometry, parametric CAD models begin as two-dimensional sketches consisting of geometric primitives (e.g., line segments, arcs) and explicit constraints between them (e.g., coincidence, perpendicularity) that form the basis for three-dimensional construction operations. Training machine learning models to reason about and synthesize parametric CAD designs has the potential to reduce design time and enable new design workflows.
