1. Numerical simulation in the company
There are different stages in the evolution of the design activity, gradually refining the definition of the product or system, and thus corresponding to increasingly advanced states of the project. The project will also involve, more or less simultaneously, a number of people from different trades: the "trade players". Faced with this diversity, digital simulation will be integrated into the project with varying ambitions, objectives and sometimes success, depending on the state of progress of the project and the business players involved.
1.1 The different uses of finite elements in design
Although numerical simulations are widely used in all phases of the design process, by a variety of players, and to solve a wide range of problems, they necessarily fall...
