How to Make Simulation-Driven Design a Strategic Advantage for Your Company
Businesses rely on engineering simulation to answer complex technical questions, but they seldom have a system to quantify and document its benefits. Therefore, simulation experts and tools risk being perceived as targets for expense reduction. With more than two decades of experience quantifying and communicating the business impact of simulation-driven innovation and design, presenter Mark Meili explains why simulation is a strategic business advantage. He also shares practical ways to build a culture that values simulation and views it as essential.
