Using the right simulation strategy at the right time
Part Design S1
In the phase of the part design the points are set in the project. Geometry, function and costs are in the foreground.
The component is simulated without any influence of a tool. This means that the entire focus is on the most important points and at the same time a reference is created. This reference could be achieved with an “optimal” tool.

Tool Design S2
Virtual verification and optimization of tool influences before “going into the steel”.
The part design is fixed, the tool is to be built. The task now is to examine the tool-specific influencing factors on the component and to design them in the best possible way.

Optimization S3
Optimization of the process or elimination of residual defects after the start of production (SoP).
Production has already started in simulation level 3 (S3). With Design of Experiments, various parameters can be optimized to make the process even more efficient.
