Description
Cognitive Design by CDS offers an advanced concurrent engineering platform tailored for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in the Aerospace, Defense, and Automotive sectors.
Utilizing a unique implicit-geometry engine, this platform seamlessly integrates generative design techniques, manufacturing constraints, simulation analysis, and AI-driven design exploration into a single cohesive system.
Engineers are able to rapidly generate and evaluate high-performance concepts while incorporating design for manufacturability constraints early in the process, including considerations for Casting, Machining, and Metal Additive Manufacturing.
Moreover, it streamlines and automates workflows across entire product lines, significantly reducing design time and minimizing the need for rework at later stages.
This innovative solution is utilized by industry leaders not only in Japan but also throughout Europe and the United States, enhancing collaboration and efficiency across global markets.
Description
Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace.
Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing.
Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection.
Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts.
Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.
