WIRED Article Cites VLM to Improve Product Design & Reliability
Summary
With VLM manufacturers can evaluate design and material alternatives in a more meaningful way than has been possible with traditional reliability projection methods while reducing your physical testing requirements and cost.VLM has been used to simulate changes in design, material processing, and usage scenarios on over 100 successful projects for commercial and government clients over the last twelve years.VLM has been applied to many different products including aerospace, commercial aviation, marine, automotive, electronics and medical devices, each time simulating thousands of individual units as they are either tested in the laboratory or used in customer applications.Nashville, TN, November 04, 2012 --( PR.com )-- Todays manufacturing companies face a significant challenge as they work to balance the demands of the marketplace for better performing products against the need to bring new products to market faster, cheaper, and with greater reliability than ever before.This months issue of Wired Magazine (http://www.wired.com/design/2012/10/ff-why-products-fail/all) features an article addressing this challenge and discusses how computational simulation tools such as VEXTEC Virtual Life Management® (VLM) can help companies deal with this challenge.Consider one of the implications of the article, that over-engineering is a result of under-informing.VLM has been applied to many different products including aerospace, commercial aviation, marine, automotive, electronics and medical devices, each time simulating thousands of individual units as they are either tested in the laboratory or used in customer applications.VEXTEC was founded in 2000 and has developed its patented technology primarily through Department of Defense Small Business Innovative Research programs.
