Is computer-based design analysis (FEM, CFD…) to be performed by an engineering designer (partly) or solely by a design analyst or by both? Help wanted to answer a brief survey.
We would very much appreciate your help and that of your company in answering a few questions on whether and – if so - how and by whom Computer-Based Design Analysis (CBDA) is performed in your company. The survey is part of a larger project at Lund University/Halmstad University in Sweden, aiming to provide a research-grounded concept of CBDA in the industry of tomorrow.
