Special Focus: Simulation and Design Software Innovations

The pressure on engineers to work faster, better, and to innovate quickly in response to shifting market needs has only increased over the past several years.

Simulation and design software vendors, fortunately, are making it easier than ever to accelerate innovation. 

As you will learn in this Special Focus Issue, those software tools increasingly include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) functionality to help automate some of the basic design exploration work, identify a wider range of possible options and help designers make better decisions faster.

In this issue, you will learn about these new AI capabilities, as well as other ways in which simulation and CAD software has been made easier to use and more accessible to a wider range of professionals.
