Design Process

Share Your Requirements. Let METHEUS Handle the Rest.

METHEUS structure diagram. 1 Design Requirements (text, images, docs, CAD) go through two parts of METHEUS, 2 AI Agent (interpret requirements, define design conditions) and 3 Design Engine (generate designs, select parts, run analysis), to 4 Design Outputs (3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOM, design reports). Outputs build up as METHEUS Knowledge Assets: Session History (Live), then Knowledge (Improving), then Ontology (Improving), which feeds back into the AI Agent.

METHEUS specializes in mechanical design, with a focus on mechanisms and supporting structures.

Asking METHEUS to design a SCARA robot that sorts ping-pong balls, with the design conditions drawn from the request: 4×5 tray, 45 mm; AK80-9 motor ×2; 10 mm suction cup; no singularity, no collision

1. Define Requirements

Tell METHEUS what you need.

Share requirements as text, images, documents, or CAD. METHEUS asks questions to define the design conditions.

Choosing from the METHEUS Top 3 mechanism candidates (five-bar linkage, slider crank, coaxial SCARA) and turning the selected design into a 3D assembly

2. Autonomous Design

Compare designs and review them in CAD.

METHEUS proposes candidates that satisfy your requirements and models the selected design as a 3D CAD assembly.

Stress results (von Mises stress) for the ping-pong ball sorter, with dynamics and strength checks (drive torque, joint reaction and pin load) and a BOM (AK80-9 motor ×2, joint shafts and pins ×4, suction head ×1)

3. Engineering Analysis and BOM

Check performance and parts.

METHEUS analyzes motion, forces, and strength to check whether the design satisfies your requirements, and lists purchased and fabricated parts in a BOM.

Design report and 2D drawing of the arm link for the ping-pong ball sorter, with a requirements check (reaches all 20 cells, no motor interference, drive torque margin) and buttons to export a 2D drawing or STEP/STL

4. Design Report and Drawings

Get a report and drawings ready for review.

METHEUS explains why the design was chosen, summarizes the analysis results in a report, and generates drawings from the CAD model.
