Common questions

How can AI help design optimization without replacing CFD physics?

AI can accelerate screening, surrogate modeling, and sensitivity analysis, while CFD remains the source of physics-based results and validation.

When is a surrogate model useful?

A surrogate model is useful when many design variants need to be explored and each full CFD run is expensive.
