Scientists at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) division of Berkeley Lab work side-by-side with engineers to develop products used for experimental science. Often times, the scientists do not have a good definition of a project. They just know where they want to start, and designs evolve from what the scientists are shown and what the engineers are able to do. To support this dynamic development process, ALS (www.lightsources.org) uses history-free 3D dynamic modeling software from CoCreate (www.cocreate.com) that gives the division's engineers freedom to easily explore new ideas without having to plan modeling steps in advance of designing. They can explore options and quickly change designs, add ideas and remove what does not work.
