In this Realize Live 2025 episode recorded in Amsterdam, we sit down with John Skarakis and Yeshwant Mummaneni โ€” two Chief Engineers from Altair โ€” to explore one of the biggest questions facing the industry today: How will AI transform engineering?

From physics-aware AI models to fully automated simulation agents, John and Yeshwant give a practical, no-buzzword look into how AI is reshaping product development, simulation workflows, and the engineering job role itself.

This conversation moves from high-level vision to real-world implementation:
how AI agents can launch CAD tools, mesh models, build solver decks, submit HPC jobs, post-process results โ€” and even cluster outcomes to pick the best design direction in seconds.

๐Ÿš€ In this episode youโ€™ll also learn:

- What AI engineering really means for simulation teams
- Why AI is โ€œa new tool in the toolbox,โ€ not a replacement for expertise
- How Altairโ€™s Physics AI cuts solver time from hours to seconds
- The rise of AI simulation agents across CAD โ†’ Meshing โ†’ HPC โ†’ Post-processing
- Why domain knowledge remains essential (โ€œjunk in, junk outโ€)
- How GraphRAG and semantic context solve hallucination risks
- Why trust, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design matter
- How Siemensโ€™ acquisition of Altair accelerates AI-enabled engineering
- The evolving role of the engineer: specialist vs. generalist
- Where we are in the AI hype cycle โ€” and what comes next
