Everyone knows that the industry is set for something big, and computational engineering design will be the spark that sets it all off.

Computational Engineering (CE) is a new approach to engineering design that massively increases the scale and complexity of designs that engineers are able to invent. Computational Engineering gives a single engineer the power to operate with the resource of a whole team, and gives teams the ability to invent things that we’ve never seen before. Computational Engineering will change the landscape of the industry, in ways we can’t begin to imagine, and it’s going to be very different from what anyone is currently imagining.

There’s one final piece to every successful transition — the open-source community.

The open-source community helps proliferate innovation, invention and education throughout an industry. Without open-source, we would not have Linux, Android, most cloud technologies, and hundreds of thousands of games. Without video tutorials and content, there would be a fraction of the number of self-taught engineers. In these industries, most new projects today (both hobbyist and enterprise) are built using open-source technologies and Engineering Design will be no different.

The industry is always responsible for products and services, but often the open-source community invents, shares and standardises the core infrastructure we all build on.
