These delays often cause projects to overrun significantly, especially when the design issues are discovered during the prototyping or integration stages where real hardware is involved. Even worse is when the problems are discovered after a system has been commissioned and installed. Such unforeseen weakness can result in expensive on-site service calls, loss of production, and unhappy customers, leading to extremely expensive projects that hurt the company’s bottom line.
In this whitepaper, Paul Goossens, VP, Engineering Solutions at Maplesoft, explains how virtual prototyping and dynamic load analysis can help to reduce machine design costs and speed time to market.
