Navier AI GTM brain

category

market profile

• text: Hardware engineers use CAD and physical simulation, with substantial manual work between design and analysis disciplines.
• text: Navier combines a downloadable engineering agent with embedded engineering and scoped simulation engagements.

personas

• title: CFD or simulation engineer
  pains:

  • Geometry preparation, meshing and solver setup consume analysis time
  • Needs simulation results and underlying case files that can be checked
• title: Hardware engineering manager
  pains:

  • Limited time to explore design alternatives before a decision
  • Specialist analysis capacity is constrained across multiple engineering projects
• title: Engineering director
  pains:

  • New engineering tools need to fit existing code, CAD and solver workflows
  • External analysis must produce inspectable deliverables

icp

• text: Hardware developers with CAD and simulation workflows in aerospace, automotive or other physical engineering fields; company size is unspecified.
• text: Engineering groups working on fluid, structural, thermal or electromagnetic analysis who need additional simulation capacity.

message pillars

• text: Help engineers explore more design alternatives in less time.
• text: Unify code, CAD, simulation and reporting in one workspace.
• text: Provide auditable deliverables for outsourced simulation.

objections

• objection: Will it work with our existing tools?
  response: The published integrations include OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, Onshape and GitHub; verify the particular workflow in a trial.
• objection: How can we trust results?
  response: Simulation engagements provide an inspectable report and case files for rerunning or auditing.
• objection: Can our team get implementation help?
  response: Navier offers embedded engineering alongside a customer's team and separately scoped simulation engagements.
