What is a design simulation?

Design simulation is the process of creating a virtual model of a product or system and testing it under various conditions to determine its performance, functionality, and safety. Design simulations may include 3D modeling, computer-aided design (CAD), and virtual testing software to replicate the behavior of the product in real-world scenarios. This process helps designers and engineers to identify potential design flaws and optimize the product before it is manufactured, thereby reducing cost and risk. Design simulation is commonly used in fields such as aerospace, automotive, architecture, and consumer goods manufacturing.
