Software and Services for Automating Engineering Design
For companies that engineer and manufacture custom products, Design Power offers tools and services to automate the entire engineering and design process, delivering a competitive edge through improved efficiency, quality, and profitability.
Capture Your Product Knowledge for Automatic Reuse
Design++® is a platform for automating engineering design. It simplifies the capture of in-house engineering expertise and integration of legacy systems. The resulting design automation and product configuration solutions boost productivity, improve quality, accelerate delivery, and create sustainable competitive advantage.

Automating Engineering Design
Design++ is used to automate engineering and design processes for products and systems as diverse as electrical systems, capital equipment, building structures, and process plants. It has an extensive history of supporting high-value design automation and product configuration applications at companies such as Baker Hughes, Bühler AG, Cornerstone Building Brands, and Fluor Corporation. Design++ is also the foundation for a commercial end-user application product for conceptual plant design: Bentley PlantWise®.

Design++ provides a stable and proven design automation infrastructure that allows the application development team to focus on product and process rules rather than software technology, resulting in faster deployment and lower cost. The result is a 70 percent reduction in project effort, significantly enhancing the probability of project success.

Testimonials
“We can’t imagine working without it. What once took hours is now completed in minutes, providing consistent designs and allowing us to focus on more intricate control problems.”
FRANCESCO BARTOLINI, BAKER HUGHES
“Design++ provides flexible change management that enables dynamic machine and system configuration. Even the interactive creation of the rule bases is managed dynamically, providing for rapid development of new machines and easy extension of existing machines.”
DR. H. CRAIG HOWARD, Bühler AG
“Design++ has been a tremendous asset to our company and our automation of engineering and drafting. It has allowed us to do things no other system would have allowed and with a very small development team.“
“It has allowed us to double sales while increasing the drafting staff by only 20 percent.“
