Imagine spending a tremendous amount of time designing a product, only to find out it does not work. So you go back and redesign it&#8230;only to test it and it does not work again! NX design simulation minimizes this issue by allowing you to quickly perform &#8220;what if&#8221; simulations of products performance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">Based on the outcome of the performance, they can determine if you want to make further adjustments to acquire the pre-determined performance requirements.\u00a0Simply put, simulation- driven design can be summarized with the image below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center\" style=\"width: 753px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"simulation process.png\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/09\/simulation-process-1.png\" alt=\"simulation process.png\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>NX design simulation also allows engineers to view the original designed model and the redesigned model side by side to compare and analyze\u00a0each performance.
