Join us to hear Dr. Keith Meintjes, practice manager at CIMdata, previous senior technical fellow at General Motors, discuss "Transformative Product Development through Generative Design".

Dr. Meintjes will share the vision for how technologies including Generative Design, Simulation & Analysis, Big Data Analytics, Advanced Materials, and Robust Design will converge to an Augmented Intelligence environment that will dramatically change product development over the PLM life-cycle. The issue is not simply one of technology. Corporate process, culture, and people play a very important role. He will discuss suggestions for how to implement a governance process to enable learning about Generative Design, and then deploying it with maximum effect.

Dr. Keith Meintjes has over 35 years of experience in the development and application of simulation tools to transform product development. His achievements include novel methods for combustion simulation, patents for engine design, and strategic planning for the world’s largest commercial HPC facility.

Before joining CIMdata, Dr. Meintjes spent nearly 30 years at General Motors, responsible for the engineering requirements for GM’s Global CAE IT infrastructure and was named Senior Technical Fellow. At GM Powertrain he held strategic, planning, and management positions, to embed simulation tools in the powertrain product development process. Earlier, at the GM Research Laboratories, Dr. Meintjes developed thermodynamic and CFD simulation models for engine performance and combustion, and was instrumental in GM’s acquisition of a Cray supercomputer.
