Neurocad

Neurocad is an engineering infrastructure platform that sits between unstructured engineering documentation and native CAD and EDA execution. Neurocad converts unstructured engineering documentation, including component datasheets, PDF drawings, reference designs, images, and BOMs into native, parametric, design-ready assets delivered directly into professional CAD and EDA tools. It sits between the documentation engineers work from and the tools they design in, eliminating the manual data reconstruction that occurs at every tool boundary in a hardware development workflow. Neurocad is used by: - electrical engineers - PCB designers - mechanical engineers - engineering managers The engineers that work in multi-tool ECAD and MCAD environments. Primary use cases include: - PCB library generation - schematic symbol - footprint creation from datasheets - circuit artifact editing - ECAD-to-MCAD asset propagation - BOM-driven library automation. The platform is vendor-agnostic and connects to: - Altium Designer - Cadence (OrCAD/Allegro) - KiCad - SolidWorks - Autodesk Fusion 360 - Autodesk Inventor - Other adjacent engineering environments. Neurocad uses a combination of machine learning, computer vision, and a deterministic parametric modeling kernel to extract engineering intent from source documentation, resolve ambiguous or incomplete dimensions through ratiometric inference, and compile IPC-compliant outputs without intermediate file formats, post-processing, or manual cleanup. Before any asset is committed to a tool, engineers can inspect and refine it in Edit — an artifact canvas for adjusting pins, pad placement, and parameter mappings on circuits, footprints, and symbols. The engineer maintains full control over the output before it enters the design environment. Key capabilities: Neurocad compiles native schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and parametric circuit artifacts from datasheets, PDFs, and component images, delivered directly to connected CAD and EDA environments via Neurocad Link and Neurocad's recipe nodes. The Edit canvas allows engineers to inspect and adjust pins, pad geometry, and parameter mappings on generated artifacts such as circuits, footprints, and symbols before committing any asset to an EDA tool. Applies organization-specific library standards, layer conventions, naming conventions, property sets, and pad geometry templates to every generation, in a defined once, applied consistently across all outputs philosophy. Neurocad supports recipe-based workflow automation triggered by Slack messages, GitHub commits, webhooks, or scheduled runs, enabling continuous library generation without manual intervention. Neurocad supports multi-tool outputs from a single source: one datasheet or BOM can compile native assets simultaneously for Altium, KiCad, Cadence, SolidWorks, and other connected environments. Neurocad is currently available through an Early Access Program for engineering teams working in multi-tool ECAD and MCAD environments. It is built by engineers previously at Accel EDA, Altium, Autodesk, Meta, Microsoft, HP, and Siemens.

Pedestrian Dynamics

Pedestrian Dynamics is a crowd and pedestrian simulation software designed to model, analyze, and optimize how people move through complex environments such as airports, train stations, stadiums, theme parks, large-scale events, and urban spaces. It helps organizations improve safety, efficiency, and capacity by simulating pedestrian behavior before infrastructure is built or operational changes are made. The software enables users to create a digital representation of real-world environments and evaluate how design decisions impact crowd flow, congestion, travel times, and evacuation performance. By testing different scenarios in advance, teams can identify bottlenecks, compare layout options, and make better-informed decisions with less risk. Pedestrian Dynamics is purpose-built for large-scale pedestrian environments, where crowd behavior plays a critical role in performance and safety. It simulates thousands of individuals moving simultaneously, each with realistic movement behavior such as route choice, interaction with other pedestrians, and response to congestion. This provides a reliable representation of how spaces perform under real-world conditions, including peak demand and emergency situations. Unlike general-purpose simulation platforms, Pedestrian Dynamics focuses specifically on pedestrian flow and crowd dynamics. This specialization allows it to deliver practical insights without the complexity and overhead often associated with broader simulation tools. Users can build models efficiently, run multiple scenarios, and interpret results without requiring extensive simulation programming expertise. The platform is used across transportation infrastructure, event venues, urban planning, and safety analysis. Airports, rail stations, and metro systems use it to improve passenger flow and capacity planning. Stadiums and large venues use it to evaluate entry and exit strategies and ensure safe evacuation. Urban planners and consultants use it to design more efficient public spaces and pedestrian networks. Pedestrian Dynamics supports both design-phase validation and operational optimization. Organizations can test new infrastructure concepts as well as improve existing environments by analyzing how changes in layout, scheduling, or crowd management strategies affect performance. By combining scalable simulation, realistic pedestrian behavior modeling, and a practical workflow, Pedestrian Dynamics helps organizations move from assumptions to evidence-based decisions. Teams can visualize how people will actually move through a space, reduce uncertainty, and create safer and more efficient environments. Overall, Pedestrian Dynamics provides a focused and effective solution for organizations that need to understand and manage pedestrian movement in complex, high-density environments. It bridges the gap between advanced simulation capability and real-world usability, enabling better decisions across infrastructure planning and operations.
