Design Smarter Cars Faster: Real-Time Aerodynamics with Autodesk Alias & NavPack
What if automotive designers could evaluate aerodynamic performance in real time, without waiting days or weeks for CFD results? In this interactive webinar, Barry Kimball (Alias Product Manager) and Jakob Lohse (NavPack Product Manager) demonstrate how Autodesk Alias and NavPack come together to create a single source of truth for automotive design—connecting design, visualization, and engineering in one seamless workflow. Discover how live referencing and geometric deep learning enable designers and engineers to collaborate earlier, iterate faster, and make confident, data-driven decisions directly in Alias. Using AI models trained on existing simulation data, teams can instantly predict aerodynamic performance, assess uncertainty, and explore design alternatives—all on a standard laptop. In this session, you’ll learn how to: Bring real-time aerodynamic insights directly into the design process Use NavPack’s AI models to left-shift high-fidelity simulation data Understand and interpret surface uncertainty and model confidence Compare design variants instantly and evaluate trade-offs Combine Alias, NavPack, and live visualization for truly interactive design reviews Reduce time to market while improving EV efficiency and performance Whether you’re a surface designer, automotive engineer, or design leader, this webinar shows how AI-powered workflows can transform the way vehicles are designed—helping teams build better cars, faster. 👉 Watch now to see the future of collaborative, AI-driven automotive design in action.
