Now that we've reintroduced the Virtual Companions to you, we wanted to take some time to share what they can help you do. Each week, we'll share a video or two of new skills you can try. 

What happens when you've been on vacation or away for a work event? How can you catch up on what matters?

With AURA, you don't have to read everything to know everything. Come back from vacation and get up to speed in minutes, not days. Check it out: 

What do you do if an assembly is getting sluggish? 

You can ask LEO to analyze the whole model and recommend the highest-impact actions to improve performance. Watch the video below to learn more. 

Response: Absolutely. I’ll review the assembly structure, component complexity, rebuild behavior, graphics load, and hidden or overloaded components. Then I’ll recommend the actions that will make the biggest difference first.

Value: Move from manually hunting through sluggish assemblies to find what is slowing them down, to having LEO analyze the full assembly and recommend the highest-impact performance improvements first. LEO reviews assembly structure, component complexity, rebuild behavior, graphics load, hidden or overloaded components, detailed fasteners, and SpeedPak opportunities, then helps simplify the right areas so the model opens, rebuilds, and reviews faster.

In this example, LEO reduced assembly open time from 52 seconds to 8 seconds, about 84% faster. For one engineer, that means a smoother design experience. Across a team, it means hours of design time returned every time the assembly is opened, rebuilt, or reviewed.

Stay tuned for more questions.
