Thanks to everyone that has asked a question. I wanted to add a little more info on how this will speed up engineering in the future.
A "fitting" is a small component that usually attaches a rod to another item. The fitting consists of a base plate and two vertical extrusions. There is a bolt at each corner of the base plate connecting it on that end and an eye bolt sits between the two vertical extrusions and screws into the rod.
I CADWOLF, you will be able write a single web page or "document" that takes in the load on the fitting through the rod and then calculate the base plate size, the thickness, the size of the vertical extrusions, and the sizes of the bolts needed. These items will populate your part tree automatically. When the load changes, everything updates automatically. If you change this document, the design updates.
Now imagine that you are building a large structure with dozens of these fittings and any engineer can simply place the fitting into their structure in the same way that you call a function. You don't have to worry about whether or not the engineer did the design properly as everyone is using the company standard analysis and the engineer can go about doing the more complicated things.
Now imagine that CADWOLF provides a large array of built in structures like this where a single engineer can design large and complicated structures faster than teams of engineers do today.
