ANSYS Advantage - Volume VII, Issue 2, 2013
SPOTLIGHT ON ROBUST DESIGN AND PRODUCT INTEGRITY
Engineers can reduce design uncertainty and the risk of failure by using simulation to understand how products will actually perform under a broad spectrum of real scenarios. Reliability-driven product development or robust design is critical to ensuring product integrity and brand reputation. This issue of ANSYS Advantage highlights the many benefits of taking a robust design approach. Real-world stories show the wide range of ways that leading engineering teams are applying robust design to address an equally diverse spectrum of pressing design challenges.
