Next Generation Design episodes
- Generative Design & Integrated Validation
Generative Design is a relatively new concept in the engineering and manufacturing space. As product innovators have become more comfortable with the idea of artificial intelligence integrating into their workplace, we’ve seen how far their capabilities have grown.
In this episode, I’m joined by Siemens Executives Tod Parrella, Product Manager for NX Design and Boris Lauber, Product Manager at Additive Manufacturing Simulation. We discuss what Generative Design entails, how human interaction has influenced the use of AI systems, as well as the possibilities and predictions we have for how it will be optimized in the future.
It’s an exciting world we live in and the scope of possibilities that these design practices will offer is boundless. If you’re interested in learning more, tune into Episode 5 of Next Generation Design!

29 min - Automotive Deep Dive
If you grew up watching the cartoon, “The Jetsons”, then flying cars, minimal traffic, and drones don’t seem so far away, anymore.
But how will these vehicles look like? What will they be capable of doing? And more importantly, when will we be driving them?
In today’s episode, Tom takes us on an automotive deep-dive into the trends in designing the future of the world’s transportation. We discuss the challenges that car manufacturers are facing when designing AVs, but also the advantages and the opportunities that come with having an autonomous vehicle at hand.
Tom Spangler has extensive experience in the PLM and automotive industries due to working at both the OEM and supplier levels. He joined Ford Motor Company in 1993 as a designer and was part of the Visteon spin-off in 2000. At Visteon, he worked in a variety of roles, from design to IT, to data management, as well as coordinating the outsourcing of CAD work. Tom joined Siemens in 2008 as a marketing manager, and in that role, he has created and contributed to multiple product launches, marketing campaigns, and collateral creation.
Tune in, to take a drive with Tom, who unpacks the trends in the current automotive design space.
Some Questions I Ask:
- When you talk about this area of electrification, how far do you see some of these topics actually coming to fruition? (02:30)
- Can you talk a little bit to the audience about some of the trends and themes that you’re seeing in light-weighting? (19:07)
- I know a lot of software companies are now moving to the Cloud. Are you seeing people in the automotive industry doing this? (26:05)
- Can you talk a bit about the benefits of the continuous release strategy and how customers are adopting this? (27:19)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- The opportunities provided by the autonomous driving vehicles. (05:48)
- The importance of finding potential issues as early as you can in your design manufacturing cycle. (07:16)
- The reasons why AVs are going to increase vehicle utilization and what the challenges are around this topic. (11:55)
- The role of AI and IoT in the incorporation of modern features in the design of AVs. (14:18)
- What generative engineering is and its importance in product design. (21:03)
- The advantages of additive manufacturing. (23:21)

31 min - Modeling Environment
If there’s anything we’ve learned so far, it’s that the design process is extensive.
It’s not as simple as illustrating 3D drawing on a tablet and watching them come to life. Designing in the digital space calls for something a lot more advanced than that.
In this podcast series, we’ve seen how Siemens’s digital industry software presents its vision and strategy for NX, with its key message of breaking down barriers to innovation. In this episode, Tod Perrella and Mike Yoder explain the ins and outs of how Siemens is creating groundbreaking software to optimize productivity.
Tune in to learn about how Siemens is changing modeling environments and design workflows for the better.
Some Questions I Ask:
- Why is a productive modeling environment for CAD important to your customers? (3:04)
- How does NX’s end-to-end workflow strategy actually help? (10:24)
- What are customers looking for in their software tools to help them be more innovative? (18:01)
- Does the workflow of a productive modeling environment vary across industries? (25:08)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- How NX specifically addresses customer workflows. (3:10)
- About NX’s recent investments that will improve productivity. (4:18)
- Why Siemens shifted from a traditional release process to continuous release. (8:32)
- What makes NX stand out from the competition. (11:53)
