Today, mechanics refer to drawings prepared by manufacturing engineers, using mark-ups on the part to provide reference features and measurements, but there are problems with this approach.
Engine designers can now let computers find optimum solutions for critical performance, such as reducing emissions or increasing fuel economy with Converge CFD and Congo from Convergent Science.
By enabling software architects to find and correct implementation errors at an earlier development stage than previously possible, the process becomes easier and much less expensive.
Many design engineering departments continue to struggle to find enough engineering resources to develop new products, whether due to hiring constraints or the ability to secure talent.
