AI to Augment Engineering Intelligence Through Physics-Informed Innovation
Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) is advancing the future of engineering by integrating Artificial Intelligence with physics-based simulation to transform CAD, CAE, and product development. In a recent interview with Dataquest India, Mr. Radha Krishnan, Founder & President of DEP, shared how AI is reshaping engineering by enhancing productivity, accelerating simulation, and supporting data-driven decision-making - while reinforcing that engineering expertise remains indispensable. "AI is not replacing engineers; it is empowering them," said Mr. Radha Krishnan. "Traditional CAD follows predefined rules, whereas AI learns from historical engineering data to predict design intent, automate repetitive tasks, and accelerate engineering workflows."
DEP's flagship AI platform, AIWorks, combines machine learning with validated CAE methodologies to automate mesh generation, develop Reduced Order Models (ROM), predict crash, durability and NVH performance, and rapidly evaluate design alternatives. By integrating AI with first-principles physics, AIWorks enables engineering teams to reduce simulation time while maintaining engineering accuracy and confidence. Mr. Radha Krishnan also highlighted the growing role of Digital Twins in enabling virtual validation, reducing physical prototyping, and accelerating product development. He emphasized that AI delivers its greatest value when combined with engineering context, simulation data, manufacturing knowledge, and human expertise. As industries increasingly adopt AI-driven engineering, DEP continues to invest in engineering-specific intelligence that seamlessly integrates with established CAE environments. Through the combined strength of its engineering services and software platforms, DEP is helping organizations accelerate innovation, improve product quality, and shorten development cycles across automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, and other engineering-intensive sectors.
