FIT’s Anand Balu Nellippallil is part of a team developing a program that will retrieve relevant public data, such as models and formulas, to help engineers make decisions efficiently when solving complex design problems. The open-source platform will empower developers and designers to perform multidisciplinary design, explore design alternatives, and make informed decisions more efficiently.
The team plans to develop the platform in tandem with a decision-support tool that helps engineers work through these problems. Engineers will be able to access recommended tools and models specific to their project as they complete each step. The platform will remember each step, and its recommendations will consider those steps to provide more relevant guidance. They hope this collaborative technology will eventually support a wide range of industries, such as materials, advanced manufacturing, supply chains, and national defense.
