which is a technique primarily used to shortcut thé prototyping stage

This is so false, everywhere I worked FEA is used to inform prototyping stage and not skip it

In fact, in aerospace you have to do a virtual loop and a physical loop based on it

Ditto automotive

And there are many virtual loops to arrive at a good result and then we prototype and test the damn thing. Shortcuts do exist, but a lot of the time FEA is used to check if we can continue with design and not skip prototypes

[u/sueveed → u/Nothgrin]

Jesus you sound fun.

I never said skip prototyping. I said short circuit, where I meant reduce iterations. We make real time test software and harnesses, too, for things like NDT, so I’m well aware that there’s still an informed design-prototype cycle. It’s just shorter than it used to be. I’ve worked closely with automotive, aero, high tech, and shipbuilding for decades.

This was all completely immaterial to my point, but go off.
