At Synera, we enable engineers to automate, optimize, and scale their manual work through a flexible process automation platform tailored for engineers. The NAVPACK Connector is the latest addition to our Marketplace, helping engineers unlock new possibilities by integrating advanced AI capabilities into everyday tasks.
Introducing the NAVPACK Connector: A Practical AI Tool for Engineers
Engineering is about precision, efficiency, and solving increasingly complex problems with fewer resources. Whether you're dealing with fluid dynamics, structural analysis, or crash simulations, the need for accurate, fast results is ever-present. That's where the NAVPACK Connector comes in - a new add-in from Navasto, now available on the Synera Marketplace, designed to bridge the gap between simulation data and AI-driven insights.
What is the NAVPACK Connector about?
At its core, the NAVPACK Connector enables engineers to train custom Deep Learning models directly on their simulation data. It doesn’t require parametric assumptions or approximations, making it adaptable to various use cases. Once trained, these AI models can instantly predict surface, volume, and scalar results. This capability is precious for those managing multiple iterations, where rerunning full simulations can consume hours, if not days. With NAVPACK, you get accurate predictions in seconds, allowing you to move forward confidently without sacrificing the fidelity of your results.
The tool isn’t just about speed—it's about enabling engineers to apply AI intelligently to the data they've already spent considerable time and effort collecting. For many, this means reducing the number of simulations required, shrinking design cycles, and bringing innovations to market faster.
Key Features:
- AI-Powered Training: Engineers can use their existing simulation data to train deep learning models tailored to their specific workflows and design challenges. These models allow engineers to offload repetitive tasks and focus on refining their designs.
- Instant Prediction: The models you train with NAVPACK can predict surface, volume, and scalar results in seconds. This dramatically reduces the need for repetitive reruns and simulations, accelerating design processes without sacrificing accuracy.
- Wide Applicability: One of the NAVPACK Connector's most significant strengths is its versatility. It supports a broad range of physics, making it applicable to fluid dynamics, structural simulations, and much more. Whether you're working on aerodynamics, heat transfer, or crash testing, NAVPACK can help you streamline your work.
One of the key benefits of the NAVPACK Connector is its proven success in real-world applications. Logan McLeod from GM Motorsports Software Engineering at NVIDIA GTC 2024 on the benefits of NAVASTO’s NAVPACK: "Going from concept to 98th percentile accuracy and getting us within a very tight profile of execution, whether you're talking about design, whether you're talking about optimization or efficiency in your processes, is massive! These are usually measured in months and years in most organizations."
This feedback speaks volumes about the tool's potential to transform engineering workflows on a larger scale. With AI-powered insights, engineers can push the boundaries of innovation while reducing time-consuming simulation tasks.
Why It Matters for Engineers
For many engineers, integrating AI into day-to-day workflows can feel intimidating. However, tools like the NAVPACK Connector inside Synera are designed with practical usability in mind. The ability to train models directly from your simulation data means you’re not relying on generic models or black-box AI—you're developing solutions specific to your projects. This transparency and control are critical for engineers who need to trust their results.
Additionally, the ability to generate predictive results quickly allows teams to test multiple design variations without the overhead of running full simulations for each iteration. This leads to faster decision-making and a more agile design process. By removing the bottlenecks traditionally associated with complex simulations, the NAVPACK Connector empowers engineers to focus on innovation and optimization rather than repetitive data tasks.
Future Outlook
As AI continues to make strides in engineering, tools like the NAVPACK Connector inside Synera will play a key role in how we approach simulation challenges. Whether you're working on product design, performance optimization, or research and development, this add-in allows you to integrate AI into your existing processes without losing the rigor or control you're accustomed to.
