CAD systems let you create a multitude of design options, but behavioral tools help you find which is best

CAD and CAE systems do a great job of helping us explore a variety of possible solutions to design and engineering problems. But using this software to find the best solution can mean many long hours of setting up what-if scenarios and waiting for the results. Fortunately, a powerful set of behavioral optimization tools can spell relief for those over-loaded with options. With these programs, users specify what they're aiming for, then sit back while the computer finds which design variation does the best job of meeting their goals.
