AI agents that run your CAD and CAE design workflows end to end
Agents generate and run design workflows end to end inside the CAD, CAE and PLM tools a team already uses.
Multi-step tasks such as optimisation runs and model rebuilds are executed without a human driving every step.
Bench draws context from connected sources and internal standards, reducing generic or hallucinated engineering output.
Works with the existing software stack rather than replacing it, so files, formats and processes stay intact.
