Generative artificial intelligence heralds a paradigm shift in product design and manufacturing. AI-based engineering has emerged as a tool that can accelerate research, development, and design cycles across a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace to electromagnetic waves and life sciences.

Altair recently hosted an AI conference for engineers, showcasing the latest AI-based design and simulation tools and how to use them through online sessions.

On this day, Altair unveiled "100 Use Cases for AI-Based Engineering," sharing practical insights to help engineers implement AI in product development.

In his keynote address, Ravi Kunju, chief product and strategy officer at Altair, discussed the technological paradigm shift driven by AI.

Ravi Kunju identified six key elements that are essential for a company's AI transformation: human intelligence, reliable fundamental physics and data science, economic feasibility and fine-tuning of AI algorithms, embedding AI models within existing workflows, computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and HPCs, and data classification and management.

He particularly emphasized the importance of data, stating that “AI is useless without organized information,” and that company-wide efforts are needed for data classification, simulation, data management, and collaboration.

Altair is focused on empowering and enabling AI embedding within enterprise workflows, building a data backbone for AI enterprises, powering generative AI applications, and enabling collaboration between engineers and data scientists.

Ravi Kunju, the head of the company, shared some of the AI-based engineering vision by presenting 100 AI use cases such as fatigue prediction, alloy wheel length prediction, battery pack voltage and condition estimation, and antenna placement optimization prediction.It's open.

AI-powered engineering empowers designers and domain experts with more information, enabling them to simultaneously consider multiple objectives throughout the design lifecycle. For example, in addition to cost and strength, they can optimize aesthetics, comfort, and manufacturability.

Meanwhile, Altair Korea will host the 22nd Altair Technology Conference (ATC) 2024 at Conrad Seoul on August 23rd. This event, which explores the convergence of simulation, data analytics/AI, and HPC technologies, is expected to attract approximately 1,000 engineers and opinion leaders from leading domestic and international industries.
