I'm going to develop an AI platform focused on the CAD/CAE engineering workflow.
While today's large language models are excellent at understanding documentation and engineering knowledge, I've found that traditional embedding-based retrieval has limitations when it comes to understanding complex CAD models, engineering macros, feature trees, and procedural design logic.
Instead of treating CAD files as plain text, I'm exploring a new approach that combines:
AI Agents capable of engineering reasoning
CAD feature and parameter understanding
Engineering knowledge graphs
Macro and automation execution
Design history and procedural reasoning
Simulation-aware decision support
My long-term vision is to build an AI engineering assistant that can work alongside mechanical engineers—not just answer questions, but actually understand how a model is constructed, automate repetitive engineering tasks, assist with simulation setup, optimize designs, and accelerate product development.
Potential applications include:
• AI-assisted CAD modeling
• Automatic drawing generation
• Intelligent design modification
• CAE simulation setup and optimization
• Manufacturing-aware design recommendations
• Engineering document generation
• Knowledge retrieval across large engineering projects
I'm looking to connect with engineers, AI researchers, CAD/CAE specialists, and forward-thinking collaborators who believe AI will fundamentally transform engineering over the next decade.
If you're interested in building the next generation of engineering intelligence, I'd love to connect and exchange ideas.
Best Regards
