Abstract

Non-destructive testing in verification and validation (V&V) is playing a significant role now a days. Since validated simulation model provides more insight of product and gives real-time behavior without consuming the physical product for testing. Acceleration data is very valuable input for finding loopholes in the simulation models and optimizing the method of modeling. Once validated simulation model has been set up, multiple iterations can be run for solving material differences, geometrical changes, and variations in process tolerances which will ultimately reduce the build-fix-rebuild time. Simulation methodology helps to arrive at appropriate decision for the selection of optimized and safer design.
