Know the phenomena, simulate and test
Product development is the result of a trial and error optimization process, always ending in a final experimental test.
The knowledge and mastery of the phenomena involved with the product are an invaluable asset. They not only increase the quality of the initial design, but they allow the development of good numerical simulation models to test the products. Representative simulation models are very often the key to fast and effective development.
Real tests have to be the very last resource, to be put in place when the product has already been refined through computer simulations.
Experience in the numerical simulation of the phenomena is a key factor because it allows to identify the best tradeoff between the complexity of the models and the quality and delivery of the results.
