Integrating AI in Automotive Design Workflows

I’m curious how others are incorporating AI tools into their CAD workflows… Recently, I started using a machine learning algorithm to optimize chassis design in SolidWorks and it’s drastically reduced my simulation times. How has tech like this impacted your design process?

I’ve found that integrating generative design tools in Autodesk Fusion 360 has really helped me explore design alternatives quickly. It might not always yield the final solution, but it expands the possibilities. Have you tried anything similar with SolidWorks?

It’s fascinating how AI is transforming design — it’s like having a supercharged assistant that helps solve complex problems faster. I’ve been using some simple scripts in Fusion 360 to automate repetitive tasks, which frees up time for more creative aspects. Have you thought about how automation might complement your AI efforts?
