Concept to Manufacturing: Evaluating Vision-Language Models for Engineering Design - Kristen M. Edwards
Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024Presenter: Kristen M. EdwardsOrganization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s DeCoDE LabEngineering Design is undergoing a transformative shift with the advent of AI, marking a new era in how we approach product, system, and service planning. Large language models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in enabling this shift. Yet, with text as their only input modality, they cannot leverage the large body of visual artifacts that engineers have used for centuries and are accustomed to. This gap is addressed with the release of multimodal vision language models, such as GPT-4 with vision, enabling AI to impact many more types of tasks. In light of these advancements, this work presents a comprehensive evaluation of GPT-4 with vision across a wide spectrum of engineering design tasks, categorized into four main areas: Conceptual Design, System-Level and Detailed Design, Manufacturing and Inspection, and Engineering Education Tasks.The CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series brings together leading experts from design, engineering, architecture, academia and software development for a series of knowledge sharing and networking events focusing on computational design at all scales.

Robust Designs – The role of Variability (UQ) in making Computational Design Optimization achieve reliable products that are fit-for-reality - Rafinex
Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024Presenter: André WilmesOrganization: RafinexAndré Wilmes has co-founded Rafinex to solve customers’ most challenging engineering design and optimization challenges with the most advanced mathematics. Rafinex creates novel algorithms which go beyond current market CAE tools by accounting for real-life variability using uncertainty quantification methods and by considering manufacturability; allowing safe and profitable usage by everyone in engineering design. André has researched numerical methods for simulating composite nano-materials at Imperial College London and has given guest seminars at leading research centers including NASA and TU Munich. He has experience as an R&D project manager in the ceramics and manufacturing industries, where he developed new simulation methods and experimental prototype processes in a variety of material topics ranging from fracture mechanics to optics.

Computational Design For Conventional Manufacturing - Dassault Systemes
Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024Presenter:Peter Clausen & Pascal HebrardOrganization:Dassault SystemesDassault Systèmes (3DS) and the 3DEXPERIENCE® Platform provides the principal platform for MODSIM integrating modeling, simulation and optimization. In 2016, 3DS uniquely released CATIA Function Driven Generative Designapplication, which integrates topology optimization and CAD-reconstruction of the new geometry in a single application. Since then, multiple applications have been released with focus on generative design using other non-parametric optimization methods like shape, bead and sizing. Additive manufacturing (AM) was the initial driver of these developments, but the later years also have focused more on classic manufacturing methods like casting, milling and stamping. The common denominator for all these End-To-End workflows is that they start from a CAD-model and the result is a new CAD-model. We will present state-of-the-art End-to-End workflow with focus on conventional manufacturing, which for most industries is still far more important than additive manufacturing.CDFAM computational design symposium provides a unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and techniques, and to network with leading academics and industry professionals in design, engineering and architecture at in person, two day events held around the world.
