AgendaAgenda
• Physical Testing Vs Analysis• What is Design Analysis and how it can help fix
product design flaws? • Design analysis in five simple steps • Q&A
What is Physical Testing (Prototyping)?What is Physical Testing (Prototyping)?
• Creation of simple mockups or fully functional physical products to check performance before the product goes into final production
Design Prototype testing Production
Prototyping BottleneckPrototyping Bottleneck• Extends design cycle• Expensive • Leads to non-optimized designs

What is Design Analysis?What is Design Analysis?
• Design analysis is ability to simulate prototype-test iterations and optimize designs on computer without building physical prototypes

Scope of Design AnalysisScope of Design Analysis
• Reduce Prototypes– Does this design work?– Does this design behave the way I think it does?
• Improve product quality, innovative designs• Relative Merit
– Which of these candidate designs appears to be the best?
– Weed out the lesser designs• Failure Analysis
– Traditional usage of analysis– Requires some level of expertise

Comments From Companies Using Comments From Companies Using Design AnalysisDesign Analysis
• Don Bartlett, Senior Staff Engineer, Fanuc Robotics, NA “The biggest advantage was timesaving over our previous
methods. COSMOS is so fast and easy to use that we were able to make the 20 analysis runs that were required to understand the problem and solve it"
• Greg Dato, Kinemetrics Inc. Pasadena, California "With COSMOS we saved at least 2 months and thousands of
dollars in wasted hardware. By using COSMOS integrated with our CAD system, we can electronically test multiple designs, then typically build just one prototype."
• Karsten Hoffman, Project Leader, Dräger, Germany “Using COSMOSWorks means that we can run calculations on the various design approaches during the design stage easily and quickly. We can then compare them against one another. Otherwise, we would have to either send the calculation work outside or build real prototypes so that we can carry out precise measurements

Design Analysis ProcessDesign Analysis Process
1. Geometry definition.2. Define component materials.3. Define physical situation with
boundary conditions.4. Mesh & run the analysis (solve the
system of equations).5. View and evaluate the results.M
