An observation from getting into first electrical then aerodynamic engineering - both rely to some extent on ability to vividly hallucinate
eg if you've ever stared at an extension cord and thought "I wonder what the magnetic field lines look like around that"
-
-
Or actually trying to picture streamlines, flows, behind/under aircraft.
-
Is this true of all engineering to some extent? Any examples where visualization is not used heavily in design?
-
(Or where tools have become good enough to democratize this?)
-
I think intuition is a key factor, maybe more key than visualization, and that’s a little harder to democratize

I think about this stuff all the time but barely noticed until you said it.
