The company recently adopted Solid Edge Simulation to extend its engineering capabilities with integrated stress analysis. “Manual stress analysis is time-consuming to verify alone, so we added Solid Edge Simulation about three years ago,” Peterson says. “We use simulation every week. It gives you an added feeling of security and has helped prevent some designs that were too weak. Solid Edge Simulation used early in the development process provides a good, easy way to visualize and prove a design.”
