I talk to people today who think that mechanical design is basically trivial because we have CAD. All these tools do is help us do much more than we could before. But at some point humans get to decide what we want to use our tools for.
We’ll just have much more technological power in the future.
Surely this is because the systems are more complex that you would have no hope designing using pens and pencils, even with the largest team in the world.
I’ve seen things like that. They’re awesome and I look forward to more cad programs having features like this. But it still takes a human to define the system requirements - we just get more powerful tools.
