Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Amsterdam , 2025 https://cdfam.com/amsterdam-2025/ Organization: nTop Presenter: Bradley Rothenberg + Max Gaedtke
Brad Rothenberg, CEO of nTop, outlines a shift toward co-intelligent engineering—a framework where human intent is augmented by high-performance modeling and simulation tools to meet the increasing demands of modern engineering timelines.
The talk explores how traditional CAD and simulation workflows fall short under compressed development cycles, particularly in aerospace, and introduces a modular, parametric approach to design that supports rapid iteration, reuse, and performance-driven exploration. Rothenberg highlights how implicit modeling and GPU-native solvers can be combined to eliminate bottlenecks in geometry creation and simulation, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
The broader message emphasizes a move from digitizing drawings to capturing design intent—using tools that work withengineers to accelerate innovation without compromising performance or rigor.
