CORTIME will unveil their SolidWorks-embedded robust design analysis at SolidWorks World 2019, being held February 10-13, 2019 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Dallas, Texas, USA. Robust design is used to determine the impact of controllable and uncontrollable factors on your design. Optimal designs can be “fragile” in terms of variation of material properties and operating conditions, however, robust design accounts for the variation to avoid cliffs of optimal performance.  This means that you will be able to quantify the risk of design failure and avoid nasty surprises later in process. On a practical level, this means that the R&D Engineer can use the probability of failures as objectives, when optimizing their designs. On the bottom line, this means fewer design failures and a shortened development cycle. “CORTIME has completed the circle in creating the full package of design exploration tools. Essential questions: “How can I simplify my design?
