Foundations / The idea
Where it fits
Tests validate simulations, simulations train the surrogate, the surrogate picks what to simulate next.
Surrogates sit on top of physical testing and simulation: tests validate simulations, simulations train the surrogate, and the surrogate proposes which designs to simulate and test next.

- What a surrogate is: A fast, learned map from a design to its physics, from a few numbers to the full field.
- Design use: Millisecond answers turn design studies, optimisation and real-time tools into routine work.
- Industries and why now: Engineering runs on simulation; data, compute and open models make surrogates practical today.
