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
