Consider a real-world scenario in which a structural engineer drags a node into a parametric model. He updates geometry, solves the constraints, and redraws the stress contours. The entire process takes 40 milliseconds, and the engineer’s hand is already on the next node. Now imagine routing...
In the last post I argued that engineering software is shifting from assisting work to driving decisions – that the bottleneck in engineering practice is moving from operating tools to supervising the decisions tools make. I left off with...
The most interesting question in engineering software today isn’t whether AI will help engineers work faster. It’s whether engineering tools will continue to assist the work, or whether they’ll start to drive the decisions the work depends on. Most...
