Synera today announced the release of the LimitState Peregrine Module, now available on the Synera Marketplace. This new integration brings advanced frame layout optimization capabilities into automated engineering workflows, enabling engineers to generate structurally efficient conceptual designs in minutes rather than days.
Highly Efficient Structural Topologies
Developed by LimitState Ltd., Peregrine is an innovative structural layout optimization tool that automatically identifies efficient (minimum volume) layouts of elements forming a truss, for a given design domain and set of loads, supports and material properties. By leveraging cutting-edge mathematical optimization and a unique ground-structure approach, Peregrine enables engineers to:
- Reduce material consumption while maintaining strength
- Optimize both 2D and 3D structures with real-world boundary conditions
Accelerating Design Exploration with Synera
The new Peregrine Module brings these capabilities directly into Synera’s AI agent platform. Through this integration, engineers can now embed structural optimization into their automation workflows, letting users and AI agents run these autonomously.
Key capabilities include:
- Running Peregrine optimizations directly within Synera workflows
- Parametric control of loads, supports and material properties
- Automatic handoff of optimized frame designs to CAD or FE solvers
- Integration with existing nodes for structural analysis and costing
This combination allows teams to iterate on layout, geometry, and performance far faster, making structural optimization a routine part of the design cycle, not a specialist afterthought.
“The integration of Peregrine aligns perfectly with our mission to make advanced engineering capabilities accessible and automatable,” said Andrew Sartorelli, Partnership & Product Management Lead at Synera. “Engineers can now include structural beam optimization directly in their digital threads, eliminating manual steps and enabling rapid exploration of lightweight design concepts.”
Tom Pritchard, Principal Engineer at LimitState, added: “By connecting Peregrine with Synera’s AI agent platform, we’re enabling engineers to use advanced optimization interactively and autonomously within their everyday workflows. What once took hours of manual setup and iteration can now run automatically in seconds, empowering better, faster design decisions.”
Driving Smarter Structural Design
The LimitState Peregrine Module represents another milestone in expanding the Synera Marketplace ecosystem, which now hosts over 70 connectors and modules spanning CAD, CAE, PLM, and manufacturing domains. Each new module helps organizations accelerate and scale their engineering processes.
The LimitState Peregrine Module is available now in the Synera Marketplace.
About LimitState
Founded in 2006, LimitState Ltd is a Sheffield, UK based engineering software company that brings advanced optimization and computational limit analysis into practical use for structural, civil, and design engineers. Their technology bridges the gap between simple hand methods and computationally intensive nonlinear finite element modelling, using rigorous mathematical optimization to rapidly identify critical failure mechanisms, efficient load paths, and materially streamlined structural forms. This optimisation-first approach underpins a suite of products and is central to Peregrine, their structural layout optimization tool.
