Exploring how agentic and physics AI are remaking engineering. Discover the shift from code to orchestration—and what it means for industry.
In this episode, I sit down with Bastjan Out, CEO of Simcon, to unpack the seismic changes AI is bringing to computer-aided engineering. We dive into how agentic and physics-based AI are revolutionizing everything from injection molding simulation to the very roles of engineers and software developers. Bastjan shares real-world insights on shifting from traditional coding to orchestrating intelligent agents and how this is transforming both product development and organizational structures. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when agents—not just people—drive innovation, this conversation delivers a firsthand look. Join me as we explore the future of engineering, the evolving workplace, and why embracing these changes could be your biggest competitive edge.
