Before the Model: Aurora as AI-Grounded Climate Intelligence for Early-Stage Design (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Damola Michael; Elliot Glassman · CannonDesignThe environmental design conversation typically begins too late, after massing is committed and geometry is locked. Aurora repositions that conversation to day one, giving architects and engineers an immediate, evidence-based picture of any site before a design tool is opened.The platform synthesises EPW weather files, CMIP6 climate projections, ASHRAE design conditions, NOAA historical records for US sit
Bridging the CAD-to-Simulation Gap: Integrating Meshing-free Isogeometric Analysis into Industrial Workflows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Matthew Sederberg · CoreformThe traditional “design-to-analysis” loop is often bottlenecked by the laborious process of mesh generation, which can consume up to 80% of total simulation time. This presentation introduces Coreform IGA for Abaqus, a solution that brings CAD-exact isogeometric analysis (IGA) directly into the Abaqus ecosystem. By utilizing Coreform’s Isogeometric Analysis approach, users can perform high-fidelity simulations directly on
AI-Native, Simulation-Driven Insight with End-to-End Traceability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Mike Park · FlexcomputeComputational design enables wider configuration exploration and reduces time to market, but turning innovation into validated, manufacturable designs is hampered by human-in-the-loop simulation. Manual geometry cleanup, meshing, and data management pace every workflow, while the feedback loops between simulation and the rest of the design organization stay broken by data silos. This talk presents an end-to-end, AI-native appro
Optimal Lattice Selection for PCM Thermal Management (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Andreas Vlahinos · Advanced Engineering SolutionsPCMs provide cooling without requiring an extra power source, unlike fans or active liquid cooling systems. They absorb peak energy loads during operation and release that heat when the ambient temperature drops, acting as a buffer against rapid temperature changes. This allows for more compact thermal management systems. Because most PCMs have inherently low thermal conductivity, they often fail to ab
Git for Hardware: Version Control as the Foundation for Agile Systems Engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Steve Massey · SysGitSoftware development was transformed when version control became infrastructure rather than afterthought. Hardware engineering has not had an equivalent transition. Requirements live in documents. System models are stored in vendor-locked platforms. Design reviews happen in meetings rather than pull requests. The result is programs that cannot iterate at the speed the environment demands.SysGit applies the tools and workflows tha
