UNDERSTANDING INTENT MEANS NEVER EXCHANGING DATA
INTEGRATION MYTHS
For 30 years large, highly capitalized CAD vendors have acquired countless, innovative and well-intentioned companies promising an integration which would break down barriers, eliminate silos, and deliver more agile processes.
Reality has proven the opposite.
This strategy has yielded a subset of the original features packaged afor the convenience of the vendor, while baseline pricing went up but not enough to avoid complex add-ons, tokens & consumption-based models, coupled to a subscription subject to market volatility.
These integrations are executed hastily, impacting performance for all users, demanding faster software update cycles, forced updates, all while further siloing data by making data storage opaque with little assurance that with each change, you might be forfeiting your data's portability, unaware.
INTENT-DRIVEN DESIGN
We know the integration model well - we built those tools. We did this knowing the weaknesses of the classical CAD model. Nowhere in the strategy of accretive revenue thru acquisition is there room for innovation. Your tools are a layering of data models and command queues dating 15+ years in the past, built for a general purpose CPU pipeline, with near-zero GPU computation and on a cloud built for back-office processing and customer relationship management (CRM) methods.
Neurocad is where we set aside what we had been told and revisited it all! Every item in your design, every command, every object on-screen, every button, toolbar, back-end and front end and it led us to something magical.
Neurocad captures design intent. We have constructed the first application framework built to understand objectives and communicate those objectives without communicating source data. You keep your data where you want to keep data & never again contend with silos.
CAD is not Design nor does CAD understand how vital information emerges months before you push pixels around the screen. We are the pioneers of a new wave of dis-integration and though we do CAD we realize that the moment you form a list of parts, you are creating a blueprint - something which evolves moving across dozens of disciplines, companies & individuals. Your intent starts day one!
FLEXIBILITY COMES FROM WITHIN
CAD is a means to produce Manufacturing data which is a reflection of a process to produce a product your customers need. How you communicate that information is heavily weighted toward CAD because of the high walls surrounding modern CAD application 'clouds'. Too many clouds competing for your data should signal to you that your data is at risk of escaping your control.
We syndicate a symantic meaning which maps directly to the outcome you have in mind. Moreover, we complement that intention with the information so you needn't waste time producing senseless information and then buying that in a CAD document.
Any to Any. Extract any piece of the information, without translating that source data to an intermediate format, lowering the fidelity of your IP. Instead, Ascent follows threads which indicate a direction - an orientation - toward a given outcome and with that, attaches capability and adorns your information with what is essential to run the next stage, and the next stage, and the next.
Consider the moment you select a part, only to find it is already assigning simulation data, mapping pins or properties, building simulation runs, computing outcomes and preparing a living, breathing set of interactive analyses which allow you to preempt a bad decision. Neurocad is not computing just your part, but gathers data along the way to compare yours to others. It is not embedding this data, it is referencing it.
