Q. Can you give us an insight into the automated process for parametric modelling patent?

A. We are continuously working towards reducing the time taken for a customer to get to market by systematically and optimally automating as many ComputerAided Engineering (CAE) processes. This automated parametric modelling process which is patented broadly includes building a parameterised CAE model from Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The automated processor includes a set of rules and templates for identifying geometric features. This feature generates parameters automatically, allowing for the efficient modifications to various elements in the parametric model. Engineers can use the parametric approach to create different configurations of their designs quickly and easily.

Q. What are new developments for the automotive segment?

A. Most countries have accelerated heavily towards going green in the last few years, and the greatest developments being made are in the electric vehicle space. For instance, Europe's announcement to go fully electric by 2035 has fast-tracked a lot of developments and collaborations globally between the automotive industry, service providers, battery cell manufacturers, and a lot of startups have emerged in this space too. Converting gasoline to EV vehicles and fast-tracking the design and development is where the market is geared at.
