A New Generation of CAD...

Generative design is a concept that's getting lots of attention lately in the CAD industry. This is a method of design in which computer software uses algorithms to step through a large number of iterations, within a given set of parameters. Basically, it's harnessing computing power to speed up the design and/or drafting process, giving the user (in the case of CAD, the engineer) more time to spend on true design and creative thinking.

Think about how desktop publishing tools changed the graphic design industry. Instead of spending hours manually setting type and creating line art illustrations by hand, and then spending even more time revising that work, designers and illustrators could more quickly realize their visions by using computers to create and change type and art.

Our software is exactly that kind of innovative leap. While other CAD companies are buzzing about the possibility of generative design to change CAD, SITEOPS is already there. Our software actually assists users by considering billions - yes, billions - of layout, piping, and drainage options for a single tract of land. That means while you're sipping your coffee, the optimization engine can be churning out better solutions for you and your clients! You can then sift through the CAD files, pick the best one, and further refine it.
