The Power of Physics-Based Software for Engineering and Scientific Research
Nearly all mature organizations reach a time when the ways in which they have been developing products or conducting scientific research are no longer competitive. The organizations that survive (and thrive) find new and better ways to operate. In this chapter, we describe the paradigm of virtual prototyping that provides a better way to develop products and conduct research.
1.0 A New Product Development Paradigm
Since the end of World War II in 1945, computing power has increased exponentially, from about 1 floating point operation per second (FLOPS) to more than 1017 FLOPS (Strohmaier 2015). The capability to store, access, distribute, and share data has ...
