Using Emmi’s AB-UPT surrogate model trained on this data, NeuralWing enables users to modify wing geometry, test optimizations, and maximize aerodynamic efficiency in seconds. The model supports transonic 3D wing simulation, geometry and inflow variations, real-time inference, and design-parameter optimization. Its inputs include a geometry mesh in STL format, speed, and angle of attack, while its outputs include pressure, friction, velocity fields, and integral forces such as lift and drag. Geometry meshes are created in real time from four design parameters in a differentiable manner, allowing fast exploration of design changes.Starting Price: Free -

NeuralMould
Emmi AI
NeuralMould is Emmi AI’s Large Engineering Model for injection molding, described as a new gold standard in AI for engineering: any geometry, any material, any injection gates, one model. It lets users select from a range of geometries and test injection, material, and gate placement parameters to simulate filling behavior in seconds, rapidly compare multiple scenarios, optimize process KPIs, and avoid frozen flow fronts. Injection molding simulation is highly complex because it involves multi-physics calculations that model transient flow of viscous plastic through thin-walled geometries under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. NeuralMould captures these phenomena across a wide range of injecting conditions and mold geometries, achieving performance comparable to traditional solvers with a fraction of the computation time. The model supports multi-material scenarios, fast prototyping, multi-gate configurations, and multiple process parameters.Starting Price: Free -
