Successful simulation
Best practices for better simulation results
Simulation is a powerful tool when used correctly. Here we share our best practices for achieving robust and reliable Moldex3D results across your organisation.
Develop a long-term strategy
Make a long-term plan for how simulation should be used and developed within the organisation. This creates direction and ensures that the technology supports the business.
Establish systematic processes
Define clear workflows for when and how simulation is carried out, so potential problems are identified early rather than reactively.
Get involved early in product development
Use simulation as early as possible. The earlier a problem is identified, the easier and less costly it is to change the design.
Build skills continuously
Ensure ongoing training and knowledge sharing. Continuous skills development is essential for getting the most out of simulation.
Create critical mass
Make sure several employees have simulation skills. This makes the organisation less vulnerable and strengthens learning and knowledge sharing.
Communicate the results clearly
Present simulation results clearly and effectively using relevant images, documentation and direct dialogue.
Be aware of organisational resistance
New working methods can challenge existing habits and processes. Therefore, consider the implementation of simulation as both a technical and an organisational change process.
Involve the entire value chain
Involve relevant functions from design and tooling to production. This leads to better decisions and stronger ownership of the results.
Make the benefits visible
Document and highlight savings, quality improvements and other measurable results. This makes the value of simulation visible across the organisation.
Define clear goals
Determine in advance what the simulation needs to answer. This makes it easier to choose the right level of detail and the right analysis methods.
Give the process time
Give both the simulation work and its implementation sufficient time to deliver results. Time pressure can reduce both quality and value.
