It is typically performed on potential designs before they are built or when a product does not meet an expectation. The analysis creates an understanding that allows for improvements in the design and corrections of performance problems.
Engineering analysis can solve problems and optimize designs before devices are prototyped or built.
Frequently, engineering analysis is used to demonstrate the quality of a design concept. For example, one company may wish to purchase a design or a device from a second company, and may want to see a performance analysis before committing to a purchase. Similarly, the second company may wish to demonstrate the efficacy of a design to convince a reluctant buyer. ARA Engineering uses a variety of engineering analysis tools to solve problems like those above. Three dimensional solid modeling is the construction of a device design in a computer.
