Technical Calculation and Simulation

Technical Calculation and Simulation

Simulation and computer-based modeling are part of the normal product development process today. The upper picture, however, shows that technical computation and modeling have been much before today.

Today's computer-based tools for design are easy to embrace and learn. Simulation results based on high quality model are very reliable and relatively fast to implement. The complexity of the model is no longer a dominant obstacle in using simulation.

Today, the products can be very complex, massive in size and critical in time, so there is no way to go wrong. It is difficult to design a high quality product without the use of a simulation in a product development process. Simulation provides an excellent alternative to situations where product testing is not possible, the product is physically massive, extremely complex, time-consuming or product requires specific features whose design by conventional means would be slow or almost impossible.

Would anyone dare to send the device to space without being simulated during product development?

  • How can the rocket engine be as light and as efficient as possible?
  • Does the product withstand vibration caused by the launcher?
  • Does the product withstand the acoustic stress produced by the launcher?
  • Does the radio link work while the product is in space?
  • How does thermal design work in an environment where there is no air that could be used for cooling?
  • How to ensure that the device does not produce electromagnetic interferences that could potentially undermine its operation?
  • Does the critical product software work reliably way?
