Description:

How do you identify vulnrbilties more efficiently?

Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) – Fast and Efficient Product Development Through Calculation and Simulation.
Simulation is a driver of innovation. Virtual prototype tests can be used to investigate design alternatives and to identify weak points at an early stage. The product development process thus becomes faster and more efficient, while the product design is optimized.
