Real-time Physics Feedback

See how your design performs as you build it. Our AI-powered physics engine provides instant feedback on every connection and parameter change.

  • Instant predictions - Loss, coupling, and phase in real-time
  • Thermal analysis - Spot hotspots before they're problems
  • Performance overlay - Visualize fields and power flow
  • Smart warnings - Catch issues before simulation

Built for Teams

Design together in real-time. See teammates' cursors, share comments, and iterate faster with built-in version control.

  • Live collaboration - Multiple designers, one canvas
  • Contextual comments - Discuss directly on components
  • Branching & merging - Git-like version control
  • Change tracking - Know who changed what, when
