Moving from your design model to simulation software, back to design, then on to simulation again as many times as necessary costs you only the design expertise and computation costs you already incur.
As a completely digital process, there’s no need to move the project outside the design environment until it has proven its performance standards against real-world forces and effects. It’s a shorter journey that’s much easier to handle and track for costs.
Simulation is also valuable for existing production runs. Simulation can fast-track fine-tuning your current workflows, designs, and manufacturing methods, minimizing down-time from experimenting on the production floor.
