Nonlinear analysis is undoubtedly one of the most important functions in realistically simulating today's harsh product environments. Knowing precisely how your product designs will perform during the manufacturing and assembly processes, and the subsequent product life cycle-before building physical prototypes-can save your company a tremendous amount of time and money. Additionally, such strategic product designs will result in reduced equipment downtime and greater customer satisfaction.
