What is AIWorks?

The AI Workflow No Framework Gives You

AIWorks is not a standalone AI tool. It is a complete, workflow-based platform that covers the entire AI lifecycle: generating the data needed for AI training, building and validating AI models, deploying them as fast solvers, and optimising designs with them.

Physics - Informed. Problem - Class Tuned

At the core of AIWorks is our Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) technology. Unlike standard ML, AIWorks embeds the actual governing physics - finite element equations, Navier-Stokes, Large Eddy Simulation - directly into the neural network training loss. Separate PINN architectures for mildly, moderately, and highly nonlinear problems.

Proven at Scale. Deployed & Tested. In Production

AIWorks is not a research prototype. It is deployed in active engineering programmes at major automotive OEMs, aerospace programmes, and Tier-1 suppliers globally not evaluation pilots. Multiple disciplines. One platform.

SIMULATE-AI

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) replace costly solver runs. Trained per load case with physics equations - Navier-Stokes, finite element equations, and LES - embedded directly in the training loss function. Predicts scalars, time-history curves, and full 3D field contours. Delivers <3% prediction error on aerodynamic drag and body stiffness, and 95%+ R² on highly non-linear crash responses. An equivalence score validates AI model confidence before any prediction is used in a design decision.

FEATURES-AI

Machine intelligence for geometry feature recognition across complex assemblies - automatically identifying ribs, bosses, fillets, spot welds, MIG welds, holes, and flanges directly on finite element models. Converts recognised features into smart parametric handles, enabling rapid new design creation and AI-assisted concept generation without returning to CAD. Drives mass training-data creation for downstream AI workflows. Supports casting, stamping, injection moulding, and welded assembly geometries.

GEOM-AI

AI-driven generative geometry meets instant re-prediction. Modify a CAD shape through morphing - change a spoiler angle, roof curvature, or panel profile — and receive an immediate AI-predicted performance response, with no re-meshing and no solver queue. Results in seconds. Includes automated sub-model generation for local design iteration, generative topology creation at mesh level (new parts without returning to CAD), and Digital Twin creation by mapping manufactured scan data - including geometry, thickness variation, pre-strain, and distortion - onto nominal FE models for true as-built simulation.

AGENTIC-AI

Autonomous simulation agents that orchestrate complete, multi-step CAE workflows without constant engineer supervision. Agentic AI intelligently routes tasks between physics solvers and AI surrogate models based on runtime requirements and the availability of trained AI models. Capabilities include multi-solver orchestration, autonomous overnight optimisation loops, multi-discipline variable synchronisation across crash, NVH, stiffness, and CFD, and auto-generation of 3D-embedded reports on workflow completion. The engineer remains in control and Agentic AI acts as a co-pilot.

The Complete AI Simulation Pipeline - In One Platform

Image

Data Creation

Generate hundreds of simulation-ready variants from one baseline - without returning to CAD


Image

What it does

  • Parametric FE changes, morphing, and concept modelling create diverse geometry, thickness, and material variants at mesh level.

  • ROM runs the variant population fast - compressing solver time from days to hours - feeding a rich AI training dataset.

Why it matters

  • Every AI model is only as good as its training data - most organisations don't have enough of it.

  • Other platforms assume the data pipeline is already solved. AIWorks builds it.



250+ Crash models from 1 baseline vehicle - zero CAD rework.


Data Analysis

Statistically map geometry, thickness, and results across hundreds of models - before training begins

Image

What it does

  • Patented Voxelation robotically scans all variants and places them in a common 3D space - geometry, thickness, material, and result data mapped statistically.

  • Surfaces cause-vs-effect design intelligence across the full population - inputs and outputs - without loading individual files into memory.

Why it matters

  • Loading 100 solver models conventionally is impossible

  • AI model quality is determined here - before a single training epoch runs.



The only platform with a statistical design-space analysis engine as a native pre-training step.

PINN TRAINING

Physics embedded in the training loss - FE equations, Navier-Stokes, LES - not bolted on after the fact

Image

What it does

  • Separate neural network architectures per problem class - mildly, moderately, and highly nonlinear - each with matched physics equations in the loss.

  • Adaptive per load case. Equivalence scoring calibrated during training to set the model's confidence boundary before deployment.

Why it matters

  • Standard ML extrapolates blindly beyond training data - a silent failure in engineering simulation.

  • Physics in the loss forces the network to respect governing equations, enabling accurate extrapolation on new geometries.

Three problem-class architectures - mildly, moderately, highly nonlinear - each physics-tuned.

AI MODEL FAMILY

Three models per load case - predictive, generative, and a confidence scorer - from a single training run

Image

What it does

  • Predictive AI replaces the solver. Generative AI works like a topology optimizer. Equivalence Scorer rates prediction confidence before use.

  • All three produced automatically per load case - high score means act on it, low score flags the result and invokes the solver.

Why it matters

  • Prediction tells you what. Generative tells you how. The scorer tells you whether to trust it - all three are needed to act on AI results safely.

  • Without the scorer, there is no signal when a design has drifted outside the reliable prediction envelope.

The Equivalence Scorer - the trust mechanism no competing platform provides - tells engineers exactly when to rely on AI and when to invoke the solver.

PREDICT

Stress, frequency, drag, displacement - scalars, curves, and full 3D fields - in seconds, not days


Image

What it does

  • Predicts scalar, vector, and full 3D field responses - stress, pressure, frequency, displacement - for any new design without a solver run.

  • Equivalence score runs per prediction - AI surrogate or physics solver invoked automatically based on confidence level.

Why it matters

  • AI prediction removes the solver queue as the design bottleneck.

  • Computational cost reduced by orders of magnitude - without sacrificing engineering rigour.

<1% drag error. Full 3D pressure field, not just scalar CD. 95%+ R² on crash model solver time-history. Highly nonlinear side impact.


OPTIMIZE

MDO across crash, stiffness, NVH, CHT, and CFD simultaneously - AI or physics solver, chosen automatically

Image

What it does

  • Parametric variables linked directly to the MDO loop - crash, stiffness, NVH, CHT, and CFD driven simultaneously in one run.

  • Agentic AI executes overnight loops - monitors, switches between AI and solver per response, and auto-reports on completion.

Why it matters

  • Sequential single-discipline optimisation misses trade-offs - the best crash design is rarely the best NVH design.

  • Simultaneous MDO with automatic AI-vs-solver switching is what makes multi-discipline optimisation feasible at engineering scale.


Built-in MDO - Crash · NVH · CFD · Stiffness · CHT in one loop, inside AIWorks.


Data Generation Leadership

AI is Data Hungry. AIWorks Solves That.

Every AI surrogate model - regardless of the platform it is trained on - is only as good as the data behind it. Most engineering organisations, even large OEMs, do not have hundreds of labelled simulation variants organised and ready for AI training across every load case. AIWorks solves this at the source. Using DEP's parametric CAE, morphing, concept modelling, and Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) capabilities - integrated within the MeshWorks platform - you can generate hundreds of simulation-ready variants from a single baseline model, without returning to CAD. The ROM engine then runs those variants fast, compressing days of solver time into hours. The patented Voxelation engine analyses the resulting design population statistically before AI training begins. Data generation → statistical analysis → AI training → deployment. All in one platform.

The Only Platform That Solves The Data Problem
The Only Platform That Solves The Data Problem

AI tools need training data. Generating that data - hundreds of validated simulation variants from a single baseline, without returning to CAD - is the problem every other platform leaves to you. AIWorks solves it before training begins, using DEP's parametric CAE, morphing, concept modelling, and ROM capabilities - all integrated within the same environment.

Physics Tuned To The Problem Class
Physics Tuned To The Problem Class

AIWorks uses separate PINN architectures tuned for mildly, moderately, and highly nonlinear problems. A crash simulation gets different physics treatment than a frequency analysis - because they are fundamentally different physics. This is the technical reason for <3% aero drag error and 95%+ crash R², validated against production solver runs, not curated benchmark datasets.

Deployed by Engineers - Not Assembled By Developers
