Creating and Using Virtual Prototyping Software: Principles and Practices
by Douglass E. Post, Richard P. Kendall
Preface
Why This Book?
The purpose of our book is to provide guidance for engineers and scientists who want to acquire or develop software to improve the competitiveness of their engineering and scientific research organizations with virtual prototypes. Virtual prototypes replace physical prototypes in the product development process. They are an extension of computer-aided design that allows product developers not just to visualize product designs, but to accurately predict their performance, using physics-based software tools, before anything is manufactured. When applied to natural systems such as the weather, they allow forecasts of behavior to a level of accuracy never before possible.
Engineering design and scientific research have always ...
