WORLD-CLASS SIMULATION & MODELING
Modeling and simulation allows engineers to predict the behavior—and therefore the risk—associated with lightning strikes. By creating simulations early in the design process, you’re able to gain insights about what is expected to happen during the actual testing—and when you validate a model against test data, there is almost no need to do further testing. As a result, you’re able to save significant time and money.
