Generative Design

What is it and how can it benefit you?

Generative Design (GD) refers to a broad range of algorithmic methods employed in RTaW-Pegase® to automate the design of E/E architectures. GD integrates AI, Design-Space Exploration (DSE), and “cognification”, which involves enhancing algorithms with specialized domain knowledge.

Our GD technologies enable to solve key challenges such as designing future-proof E/E architectures, managing increased system complexity and criticality, meeting dynamic QoS requirements, and optimizing hardware resources.

RTaW’s sister company, Cognifyer, is dedicated to advancing GD technologies, providing OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with a competitive edge in E/E architecture design.

Generative Design Functions

ZeroConfig-TSN® (ZCT) automates the selection and configuration of TSN protocols for designers.

ZCT exhaustively explores the design space to identify the most efficient TSN scheduling solutions, optimizing for cost, complexity, risk, scalability, and other factors based on communication requirements and available TSN mechanisms.

In our experience, ZCT can reduce the configuration and validation time of TSN networks by over 30 times.

Topology-Stress-Test® (TST) supports designers in making early-stage topological and technological decisions for TSN networks, even when complete communication requirements are not yet available.

TST leverages programmatically generated synthetic data, drawing on insights from past projects and anticipated needs for the current one.

By quantifying total network capacity across various technology options, TST ensures that your communication architecture is designed to be future-proof.

Topology-Optimizer® (TOP) is a feature designed to identify incremental improvements that enhance the capacity of your communication architecture while optimizing costs.

This includes reducing link speeds where feasible and consolidating ECUs by reallocating functions to other units, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective design.
