About RICOS Generative CAE

■ Key Features of RICOS Generative CAE
・Automatically proposes product geometry modifications within manufacturable constraints
・Automatically evaluates the performance of proposed design modifications
・Identifies higher-performing and optimized geometries

■ Why We Developed RICOS Generative CAE
CAE tools are widely used in design and simulation workflows across manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and heavy industry. However, their full potential is not always realized due to factors such as the level of technical expertise required and the substantial computation time involved in simulation.
As a result, we believe that engineering teams are often unable to perform enough iterative design changes and performance evaluations before a product reaches production, limiting their ability to fully optimize product performance.

■ Features and Benefits of RICOS Generative CAE
To address these challenges, RICOS is developing RICOS Generative CAE, a system that automatically modifies designs, performs large numbers of performance evaluation cycles—potentially hundreds of thousands or more—and explores and proposes better-performing geometries.
Manufacturability is incorporated as one of the system’s design criteria, enabling it to propose higher-performing geometries within a range suitable for mass production.
Key capabilities include 3D geometry generation, product performance evaluation more than 100 times faster than conventional simulation in certain applications, and an intuitive browser-based user interface. Together, these capabilities can improve design efficiency and product performance while significantly reducing the costs associated with design and simulation, including personnel, hardware, and software expenses. In doing so, RICOS Generative CAE contributes to the advancement of product design and manufacturing processes.
