Design Simulation Technologies

CANTON, MI, USA, Mar 5, 2026 – DST (Design Simulation Technologies, Inc.; www.design-simulation.com), announced the release of Working Model 2D Version 10, the most significant update in the product’s thirty-year history. Version 10 introduces an AI assistant that builds simulations from natural language descriptions, a completely redesigned user interface, and a new COM/Python programming API that opens the simulation engine to external automation for the first time.

Working Model 2D is the world’s most widely used software for 2D kinematic and dynamic simulation. Used by engineers at organizations including NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and adopted by colleges and universities on six continents, it enables users to build mechanical systems on screen, run real-time physics simulations, and measure forces, velocities, and accelerations on any body or joint.

AI Assistant Integration

The headline feature of Version 10 is an AI assistant that communicates directly with the simulation engine through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users can describe a mechanism in plain English — for example, “Build a slider-crank with a 5 cm crank and a 15 cm connecting rod” — and the AI creates the bodies, adds the joints, attaches a motor, and runs the simulation automatically.The AI assistant can also interpret hand-drawn sketches. Users phot

ograph a mechanism sketch, upload it, and the AI identifies the links, joints, and approximate dimensions to build a working simulation. This sketch-to-simulation workflow is especially valuable in educational settings, where students can go from a pencil drawing to a running simulation in seconds.

“The AI doesn’t replace the engineer\’s judgment or the educator’s teaching,” said Alan Wegienka, president of Design Simulation Technologies. “What it does is eliminate the tedious setup work — the clicking and configuring — so you can focus on what actually matters: understanding the physics, analyzing the results, and refining your design.”

Working Model 2D Version 10 with AI assistant: users describe a mechanism in plain English and the simulation builds itself.

Improved User Interface

Version 10 replaces the classic menu-and-toolbar interface with a modern design organized across seven task-specific tabs: Home, Model, Simulation, Results, Controls, Scripts, and View. A new browser panel on the left side of the workspace provides a hierarchical view of the entire model, with four tabs for browsing bodies, annotations, measurements, and input controls. Every item supports right-click context menus for quick access to relevant commands.

The redesigned Working Model 2D Version 10 interface with model browser, tabbed workspace, and real-time simulation.

New Programming API

Previous versions of Working Model could only be scripted through WM Basic. Version 10 introduces a full COM automation interface, making the simulation engine accessible from C++, C#, Visual Basic, and VBScript. Dedicated Python bindings are included out of the box, enabling users to write Python scripts that create models, run parametric studies, extract data, and automate entire simulation workflows. The new API is the same interface that powers the AI assistant, and it is fully available for users’ own programs and scripts.

Built-in Script Editors

Version 10 includes integrated code editors for both Python and VBScript directly inside the application. The editors provide syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, line numbering, and error highlighting, allowing users to write, test, and refine automation scripts without leaving Working Model.

External Interfaces and Simulink Co-Simulation

Version 10 adds direct, real-time data exchange interfaces to Excel, MATLAB, Python, and user-written DLLs. Simulation data flows out to these external tools during a running simulation, and computed results feed back as forces, torques, or actuator commands — all in real time. For control system engineers, Working Model 2D can now function as a plant model for Simulink, enabling full co-simulation between control logic and the mechanical system.

Availability

Working Model 2D Version 10 is available immediately. Free evaluation copies can be downloaded at www.design-simulation.com. Existing customers with active maintenance agreements are eligible for a free upgrade. Volume and academic licensing is available.

EVOLVE Fabrication

ATLANTA, GA, USA, Mar 4, 2026 – EVOLVE, a software company driving productivity and innovation for the modern trade contractor, announced the launch of EVOLVE Fabrication. This new automation software connects building information modeling (BIM) data directly from Revit and EVOLVE Electrical to fabrication equipment to create a standardized, efficient and machine-ready workflow from design to production.

By bridging modeling, detailing, publishing and fabrication within one connected platform, EVOLVE Fabrication simplifies communication from model to machine. It is designed specifically for electrical contractors and results in a structured workflow that eliminates manual conversion of model data into machine-readable files while predicting complex conduit bend corrections for the user. This enables up to a 4x increase in conduit bend fabrication from design to production, saving contractors time and increasing the production rate of electrical shops.

“Machine automation has matured rapidly, and software has lagged behind in translating and correcting model data for reliable machine input,” said Adam Heon, VP of Product at EVOLVE. “EVOLVE Fabrication closes that gap by connecting design intent directly to the shop floor in a standardized, repeatable way. This software helps contractors see a full return on machine investments by removing friction from that process and lets them focus on getting more work done, faster.”

Positioned as part of EVOLVE’s market-leading design and fabrication platform, EVOLVE Fabrication will serve as the operational backbone for modern electrical contractors. It ensures bend data is organized per schedule, corrected for springback and elongation, and machine-ready and consistent, all within a single, end-to-end platform. It reduces non-productive time spent in information retrieval and rework, while increasing shop throughput.

“The modern electrical contractor needs a responsive technology partner who provides significant production rate gains across all of VDC, publishing, and fabrication,” said Richard Burroughs IV, CEO of EVOLVE. “That is now possible: EVOLVE leveraged its market-leading VDC software position to develop the industry’s first design through fabrication platform for the electrical trade. The onset of machine automation is a watershed moment for the electrical industry. EVOLVE will relentlessly work to increase your VDC and Fabrication production rates as construction evolves into manufacturing.”

EVOLVE Fabrication integrates with key equipment, including the Crippa CNC Bender and Zebra printers. Subsequent integrations in Spring of 2026 will include Matthews Marking System, Scotchman Saw and RazorGage Positioner equipment. The result will be a connected fabrication ecosystem that drives automation across a broader range of machine types. To learn more, visit EVOLVE Fabrication.
