Let’s face it...CAD systems are really just documentation systems for mechanical and electrical outputs from engineers’ minds. And oftentimes the greatest barrier to productiveness is the bandwidth of those engineers. But that bottleneck can be overcome with a smarter approach—the evolution of engineering intelligence—to make knowledge scalable across hundreds of projects.
