Peter Lyu, Field CTO & VP of Solutions at Luminary, joins Dr. Maor Farid to unpack how AI is actually transforming mechanical engineering workflows, without the hype.

Peter explains how large physics models are enabling real-time simulation by mapping geometry directly to physical outcomes, reducing analysis time from hours or weeks to seconds.

The conversation also gets practical about adoption: how AI changes the traditional design–analysis loop, why deterministic models and grounded data are critical for trust, and how engineers can validate results while dramatically increasing speed and efficiency.

Peter also shares how these tools allow engineers to explore more design options, iterate faster, and move beyond traditional limitations, while maintaining engineering rigor and accountability.
