Agentic Engineering: Generative AI In Structural Applications
Organization:
CORE studio at Thornton Tomasetti
Presenter:
Sergey Pigach
Presentation Abstract
Over the past decade, CORE studio at Thornton Tomasetti has developed a vast array of classical Machine Learning tools for structural design and analysis, which have proven incredibly helpful for rapid iteration in the early stages of a project. The very same ML tools that help our engineers work more productively are now being utilized by agentic systems that orchestrate and execute complex, multi-stage design workflows. This presentation will explore in depth CORE studio’s recent experiments in integrating agentic AI at an enterprise level, along with the safety, security, and compliance concerns such integration entails. We will also examine our work in multi-agent collaboration using the A2A protocol, as well as my personal efforts at bridging the gap between LLMs and CAD software using MCP. These topics are all part of a larger discussion about the evolving relationship between engineers and their tools, and the shifting role of a designer in the early days of the Intelligence Age.
Speaker Bio
Sergey Pigach is a Senior Associate Applications Engineer at CORE studio | Thornton Tomasetti. Sergey’s work builds on his architectural training by bridging the domains of technology and design, driving him to develop computational tools for architects, designers, and engineers. Since joining CORE studio he has worked on desktop and web-based projects including Swarm, a cloud compute solution for Grasshopper; ShapeDiver, a desktop client integration following a merger; and—most recently—Cortex, CORE Studio’s new MLOps platform.
