Braid

Three days at Japan's largest exposition for automotive engineers, the Automotive Engineering Exposition in Yokohama, organized by JSAE. Automotive design sits inside one of the most demanding constraint sets in engineering: tight tolerances, multi-physics performance requirements, manufacturing realities that cannot be ignored. It is exactly the context where the manual draw-and-simulate loop has been pushed to its limits. The long conversations at our booth, and the packed audience at our presentation at the Mobility DX Innovation Stage, told us the same thing: the engineers closest to this problem already know what needs to change. The shift toward replacing the design loop is not a distant future. We are building to meet it. =============== 先週3日間、日本最大の自動車技術者向け展示会「人とくるまのテクノロジー展2026 Yokohama」（主催：公益社団法人 自動車技術会）にて、AURAをご紹介しました。 自動車業界は、設計において最も厳しい要件が存在する業界の一つです。厳しい公差、複雑な拘束条件の組み合わせ、複数の物理ドメインを同時に満たす設計要求 —— 手作業で「CADを描いて、シミュレーション」を繰り返すには工数がかかりすぎる設計業務です ブースで多くの来場者が熱心にデモや説明に聞き入る姿や、モビリティDXイノベーションステージの超満員が示していたのは、この課題に気づいているエンジニアが非常に多いという事実でした。設計手法をAIで「置き換える」という考え方は、もはや遠い未来の話ではありません。 その瞬間に向け、我々は作り込みを続けてまいります。 #automation #JSAE #Yokohama2026 #Braid #engineering
