The world seems to be getting smaller and smaller these days. Tech giants like Google and Apple are constantly cranking out tools we need to access any information we could desire. Over the past decade we have experienced innovation and ingenuity
... ContinuedHow do you test your design?
Whatever product you design, be it a heart valve, a bracket, an electronic enclosure or a dish washer, you must be certain that your product will perform according to its specifications. How do you know it? How do you make
... ContinuedHow to Easily Democratize Simulation Results
Last year, I attended a conference about Simulation & Analysis during which a senior engineer mentioned in his presentation that he has a hard time sharing Simulation results to colleagues and non-simulation users. He explained that too often Simulation results
... ContinuedThe Art of Simulation Data Management
Manufacturing industries are increasing the use of simulation tools to better understand and validate product behavior. Fortunately this shift toward analysis has led to more informed design decisions. However, I have always wondered how companies that adopt aggressive design simulation
