Intelligent Performance Engineering (IPE) addresses how companies address the challenges of complexity by developing new engineering practices of machine introductions. Advancing technologies are driving these changes in manufacturing operations, with a need for personalization, global competition, and simulation. Fortunately, adopting IPE practices help to ensure safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
To run simulations requires manual work to validate equipment characteristics using various tools. However, these simulations do not always reflect the interdependency of problems, including electromagnetic interference, structural loads, heat and vibration. So, the designers can run a fundamental analysis to confirm the design safety; however, performance is also an essential consideration along with many crucial tests to substantiate the various factors to validate a design, performance, safety, weight, cost and more.
