In this episode, we explore how Autodesk is enabling cloud-native design and engineering platforms by connecting multiple disciplines around a single source of truth.
The conversation highlights how tools like Alias, VRED, and NavPack come together in modern workflows: Alias serves as the shared geometric foundation, live referencing into VRED enables high-end, real-time visualization, and geometric deep learning with NavPack unlocks real-time engineering insights directly within the design process.
Rather than treating design, visualization, and engineering as separate steps, Autodesk’s platform approach allows teams to work concurrently, stay aligned on the same data, and make informed decisions earlier.
In this deep dive, you’ll learn:
How multiple disciplines leverage a single source of truth in Alias
How live referencing to VRED enables high-end visualization without duplication
How geometric deep learning with NavPack brings real-time engineering insight into design
Why connected, cloud-native workflows matter for modern design and engineering teams
How Autodesk thinks about platforms that unify design, data, and insight
This episode is for designers, engineers, and technical leaders who want to understand how cloud-native platforms enable more connected, insight-driven design workflows across the product development process.
