About Cognitive Design
Cognitive Design by CDS is a next-generation concurrent engineering platform for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Aerospace, Defense, and Automotive.
Powered by a proprietary implicit-geometry engine, it combines generative design (topology optimization, generative enclosure), manufacturing-driven constraints, simulation-driven analysis, and AI-powered design exploration in one unified platform.
Engineers can generate and compare high-performance concepts faster, DfM constraints early (Casting, Machining, Metal AM), and automate repeatable workflows across entire product families — reducing time-to-design and eliminating late rework.
Serving industry leaders across Japan, Europe, and the US.

Simcenter Inspire
Simcenter Inspire is a Siemens simulation-driven design platform that helps users generate, optimize, validate, and manufacture innovative parts in one environment. It brings CAE capabilities into a CAD-like workspace so designers can explore concepts, test performance, and assess manufacturability earlier in the design process. The software combines geometry modeling, generative design, manufacturing simulation, and GPU-enhanced rendering to support faster product development. Simcenter Inspire includes advanced hybrid modeling tools that allow users to work with BRep, PolyNURBS, facets, and implicit geometry. It also provides embedded solvers for structural, motion, and fluid performance exploration while reducing or automating meshing. With optimization tools for lightweighting, material efficiency, and structural refinement, Simcenter Inspire helps teams move from early design ideas to manufacturable products with greater confidence.

Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts across the full operating range, to produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency and size. Motor-CAD software’s four integrated modules—EMag, Therm, Lab, Mech—enable multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly and iteratively, so users can get from concept to final design in less time. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of an electromechanical design. The release includes powerful new features for design optimization, multi-physics analysis and system modelling for electric motors. Fast multiphysics simulation across a full torque-speed operating range.
