How hardware access, ease of use and user adoption affect upfront use of simulation.
CFD experts run airflow analysis on the iconic 'Star Wars’ battlecraft to dissect its aerodynamics.
To better understand how and why the nonexperts are embracing the technology, Digital Engineering's Kenneth Wong spoke to various simulation software users on the frontier of the movement for democracy.
In this Digital Engineering article, author Kenneth Wong writes that while designer-friendly tools are on the rise, some make make the establishment uneasy.
CAD programs are ideal for design engineers who need to express their concepts, whether the shape of an automotive part or the housing of a smartphone, in detailed 3D geometry. Dassault Systèmes’ SolidWorks and CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens PLM Software’s Solid Edge and PTC’s Creo Parametric exemplify such programs.
Simulation app makers weigh ease of use vs. functionality for specific uses cases. Digital Engineering's Kenneth Wong explores what makes a good Simulation App.
