Virtual modelling

?
Computational fluid dynamics
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to solve and analyse problems that involve fluid flows.
1 of 5
Finite element analysis
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computerised method for predicting how a product reacts to real-world forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow and other physical effects.
2 of 5
Simulation
Study of behaviours of materials in a virtual reality environment.
3 of 5
Virtual modelling
The virtual model is a digital representation of the physical object and serves as a basis for simulating the fabrication process and the structural behavior of the part. The virtual model can also be used to prototype the object.
4 of 5
Materials used in modelling
New prototype materials are being developed constantly which better and better match end production material specifications. ABS, acrylic, polyphenylsulfone, polycarbonate, and nylon are just a few that are commonly used.
