Comment on Test firing of a 3D-printed rocket engine designed through computational modelparent

Yes, I can see many similarities.

- Your code specifies design constraints--you need it to do X and Y and Z.

   - The engine designers needed the engine to fit in X and operate at Y temperature and not blow up (Z).
- The compiler takes your instructions and optimizes them for the processor instruction set.
   - This program optimizes the engine design for the physics instruction set.
It seems like both represent huge productivity leaps from laboriously making things in the original low-level languages.
