What's changing

The design that AI proposes.

Design software has long proposed shapes from goals the engineer sets. AI models now create the shape from a written description, check it against engineering standards and simulate it in minutes. Autodesk, Dassault Systemes and PTC are putting AI models into every tool, and engineers in their Indian centres are building them.
