Benefits Of Simulation
• Saves Time and Money
– Shortened development cycle
– Reduces number of prototypes required
– Optimization of design with minimal prototyping and
laboratory testing
• Excels Where Traditional Methods Lack
– Proof of concept
– Validation and sensitivity studies
– Component matching when no hardware yet available
– Analysis of stubborn performance problems
– Simulation of unusual ambient conditions: composition,
temperature, pressure
