When selecting a network partner for AI, PI Probaligence GmbH quickly emerged as the perfect option for CADFEM and the requirements identified by CADFEM customers. The primary deciding factors were:
- Focus. Machine learning combined with effective stochastic methods.
- Philosophy. Close integration of innovative research and industrial practical relevance, which suits CADFEM.
- The algorithm. STOCHOS combines expert independence, efficient use of computing resources, and high quality results.
- Accuracy on a small database. Neural networks combined with Gaussian processes hold prediction accuracy where data is scarce, and evaluate real, noisy data from measurements, simulation results, and key figures, combining them resource-efficiently.
- Proximity to simulation. PI already works together with Ansys, and its founders know simulation methods from their earlier professional and scientific work.
By acquiring a stake in PI Probaligence GmbH, the CADFEM Group has further expanded its family of solution partners who combine important megatrends with the field of simulation within the global network.
By working with PI, we are able to offer our customers comprehensive expertise in AI. PI will also help us to supplement established simulation methods with AI technologies. One conceivable application example is simulation-based digital twins. With machine learning, the computing times for the models can be reduced to a fraction of the usual time, meaning they can be carried out almost in real time.
