Computer Simulation allows hardware product development teams to virtually test their design on the computer before physically prototyping and testing. Many think that it's too expensive/complicated for small R&D teams, but this is not true. Today's simulation includes a wide variety of apps for novices and experts alike. Jim Shaw of Fastway Engineering will explain the current simulation market offering, as well as how hardware R&D teams can use simulation to launch products faster and cheaper.
