Yet what generative design capabilities exist today for engineers to use now, and what will they look like as time goes on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by John O\u2019Connor, Director of Aerospace Product and Management at Siemens. They discuss what generative design looks like mechanical engineering today and how it might change, as well as how generative design can safely use company\u2019s proprietary data to build new designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The capabilities of generative design for mechanical systems today<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generative design\u2019s relationship to a company\u2019s proprietary data<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The time-saving potential generative design allows<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The future direction of generative design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_todd_tuthill-e1675095289505.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Tuthill \u2013 Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Todd Tuthill \u2013 Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Todd Tuthill<\/strong> is the Vice President of Aerospace &amp; Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/toddtuthill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Todd on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/02\/oconnor_200.jpg\" alt=\"John O'Connor - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">John O&#8217;Connor &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>John O&#8217;Connor<\/strong> is Director of Aerospace Product and Market Strategy for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/john-o-connor-09b7b9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with John on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/02\/maddie_200.jpg\" alt=\"Maddie Goetze - Host\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Maddie Goetze &#8211; Host<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Maddie Goetze<\/strong> is an Aerospace and Defense Content Writer for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/maddiegoetze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Maddie on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to\u00a0Talking Aerospace Today\u00a0\u2013 a podcast for the aerospace and defense industry.
