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` s and your company`s help in answering some questions on if and in that case how and by whom Computer Based Design Analysis (CBDA) is performed. The survey is a part of the larger project at Lund University/Halmstad University in Sweden, to provide a research-grounded concept on CBDA in the industry of tomorrow.
