Frequently Asked Questions
about Symalysis
What is node-based engineering automation?
Node-based engineering automation is a visual approach that allows engineers to create automated workflows without writing code. By connecting functional ‘nodes’ in a flowchart-like interface, you can automate repetitive engineering tasks, data processing, and design optimizations within your existing tools.
How can automation benefit my engineering business?
For small and medium-sized engineering enterprises, automation delivers multiple benefits: reduced technical development costs, time savings of up to 80% on repetitive tasks, improved design quality through more iterations, and the ability to optimize resources without hiring additional technical staff or developers.
Do I need programming knowledge to implement these automation solutions?
No, that’s the beauty of our solution. Symalysis is specifically designed for engineers without programming expertise. The visual, node-based interface allows technical professionals to create powerful automations using their engineering knowledge rather than coding skills.
What types of engineering tasks can be automated?
Our platform can automate a wide range of tasks including: geometry creation and modification, simulation runs and result analysis, data processing and format conversions, file imports/exports, parameter optimizations, report generation, and connections between different engineering tools like CAD, PLM, and simulation software.
Will automation solutions work with my existing engineering tools?
Yes. Our automation platform is designed to integrate with the tools you already use. We support connections to major CAD systems, PLM platforms, simulation tools, and data processing applications, allowing you to enhance your existing workflow rather than replacing it.
How long does it take to implement an automation solution?
Implementation time varies based on complexity, but most solutions can be deployed within days or weeks – not months. Simple automations can often be created in hours, and our platform’s intuitive interface means your team can quickly learn to build their own automations after initial training.
How do you ensure our proprietary engineering data remains secure?
Security is paramount. Our automation solutions can run entirely within your infrastructure, ensuring your sensitive engineering data never leaves your secure environment. We also implement industry-standard encryption and access controls when cloud connections are required.
What kind of support do you provide during and after implementation?
We offer comprehensive support including initial training, documentation, and technical assistance. After implementation, we provide ongoing support to ensure your automation continues to function optimally as your tools and requirements evolve.
Can automation solutions scale as my engineering business grows?
Absolutely. Our automation platform is designed to scale with your business. Start with automating a single critical process, then expand to additional workflows as you see results. The modular nature of node-based automation makes it easy to extend and adapt solutions as your needs change.
How do I measure the ROI of implementing engineering automation?
We help you track key metrics like time savings, reduction in errors, increase in design iterations, and resource optimization. Most clients see ROI within 3-6 months through significant time savings, improved product quality, and the ability to take on more projects without expanding their team.
