Simulation plays an increasingly important role in design, testing, and analysis. By constructing 3D digital models, engineers can better understand and predict the structural integrity associated with a product or structure along with its subsystems, and components. This enhances the validation of designs or helps to determine, and isolate failure related to weakness, stress, or excessive vibration.
Designers, Analysts, or Engineers can then evaluate corrective steps directly on the model. This might include changes to design, substituting material, or adding dampening or stiffening options to reduce noise or vibration. Validating fixes digitally speeds the process significantly while saving time and costs.
