Simulating multiple physics enables better decision-making

Ensure quality by leveraging SOLIDWORKS Simulation and 3DEXPERIENCE® Works Simulation tools

Independent research firm Tech Clarity conducted a study based on a survey of 272 manufacturers, examining various factors engineers consider when making design decisions. The study found that the significant increase in the amount of electronics in today’s products is one of the reasons design challenges are so complex.

For example, the impact of electrical fields, along with heat and vibration, are top sources of electronic failures, so engineers must carefully consider their effects to ensure quality. The performance of most products is impacted by at least one of the following:

• Electrical components
• Sensors
• Elastic materials
• Motors
• Fluids
• Composites
• Antennas and communication systems

Tech Clarity’s survey results indicate that the ultimate benefit of simulating multiple physics is better products. Multiphysics simulations improve analysis accuracy, which leads to better decisions and results in higher-quality products for less cost.
