The best way to solve engineering puzzles

By Nazita Cook

What’s the difference between a good and a great product?

There have been a lot of debates on this topic. As a consumer, I believe a good product meets my needs and serves its function. I may find it aesthetically pleasing. It has decent quality and fits my budget. In short, in the absence of anything better, I would buy it.

In contrast, a great product is special. It’s what I call a good product plus! It’s innovative and makes my pulse race. I don’t mind waiting to get my hands on it and I would even pay a premium for it.

So how do you, as an engineer, develop products that make the likes of me take a look at your product and say “yes, now that’s a great product”?

During the development process, you need to answer a lot of questions. How can you integrate mechanical, electrical and controls behavior in your designs? Can you introduce new materials and manufacturing methods? How about the cloud and IoT… There are lots of choices and complexity to consider. Not to mention time-to-market.

Harness complexity to develop a great product

Trying to answer these questions is like solving an engineering puzzle without having all the right pieces in your hands. What if I told you that there’s a magic piece? One that can fit into your processes and help you answer all those difficult engineering questions?

The right predictive simulation and test tools can help answer your questions and more.  But they’re not all created equal. Some are simulation tools while others can handle only testing. Some are considered good tools. But there’s only one great predictive simulation and test tool. Simcenter™.
