With Innovation Comes an Exponential Increase in Design Complexity and Options
“Strict emissions standards coupled with customer demand for fuel efficiency has led to a complex control system architecture.”
Wayne EckerleVP Research & Technology
Existing products are becoming more complex Disruptive products are being developed outside of incumbent design practices and constraints
To bring an energy efficient disruptive product to market, Nebia needed to analyze hundreds of thousands of variables in its shower head design

Simulation is the Only Practical Solution for Large and Small Businesses to Address the Rise in Complexity
Simulation is the only way “…to address the unsustainable time and cost of physical testing requirements of increasingly complex, software driven systems”
UK Center for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles
When simulation was introduced into the design process “suddenly engineers could study 12 design iterations per day instead of spending a week on one physical test of a single prototype”
