It’s not often that breakthrough changes in mechanical design methodology yield significant reduction in time to market and cost. With design and test engineers working together in a closed-loop cycle supported by integrated platforms, both groups would reap the following benefits:
- Gain greater confidence in analysis results, supporting earlier design decisions
- Correlate test and analysis data to calibrate analyses
- Use test-based input values to drive improved analysis models
- Use analysis results to recommend sensor locations and test scenarios
- Reduce the number of physical prototypes needed
- Result in faster, cheaper and better product development cycles
