Software automates trial-and-error process

摘要

ESI Group, a provider of virtual prototyping and manufacturing software, now offers PAM-OPT, a program that automates the trial-and-error process of design and manufacturing optimization. In a conventional approach, engineers iteratively use simulation or analysis software to check the performance of a design. Then they analyze the results, make decisions, modify the model, and recheck the new design until the optimal solution is found. The company's software automates this loop by handling the decision making for design changes and processing job submissions on a network of computers.
