What is predictive engineering?
“Predictive engineering” is a product development process capability enabled by using Mathcad early in the product design and development process. Mathcad can be used to apply scientific and mathematical principles to engineering design problems at the beginning of the design process in order to determine the critical dimensions and parameters used downstream in the CAD model. By calculating the parameters required and “predicting” the performance of the design up front, instead of guessing key dimensions and parameters, product designers can produce an optimized design more rapidly and with less iteration than the traditional methods used today.
