Simulation for Design

Simulation software tools are an important and increasingly essential part of the design process and product lifecycle management. The requirements for shorter design cycles with increasing pressures on cost, efficiency, quality and reliability, demand the use of new tools and techniques. Also, the advent of ‘mass customization’ conflicts with the increasingly limited resources to develop and test so many new products. The most effective solution to these requirements is the adoption of ‘simulation driven design’ and ‘virtual prototyping’. These approaches make simulation an integral part of the entire design process, from the initial concept through to maintenance of products in the field. Simulation tools can be used to explore new and innovative concepts and then drive the design process, replacing costly and time-consuming physical prototypes and testing with virtual prototyping and virtual testing. Then, once products are in the field simulation can help to analyze performance and maintenance issues, and provide rapid and effective solutions to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The latest simulation tools combine easy-to-use CAD integrated GUI’s with state-of-the-art solvers, and utilize the latest advances in parallel computing on multi-processor and multi-core workstations.
