MULTiPHYSiCS MODELLiNG Building a prototype is simply time consuming, due to the number of various specialized operations involved, and can sometimes be incompatible with the client deadline. Once the prototype has been finalized, running the test itself is not so easy, especially as the worst case scenario has to be investigated. High temperature, complex or high current electrical client conditions might not be easy to recreate. Oversized constructions do not fit in a typical environmental chamber. The test can therefore turn out expensive and add unnecessary study time. That's why simulation...
