How modeling and simulation are changing innovation

We are experiencing the most rapid period of change that automotive manufacturing has seen in the past several decades. The pressure to innovate quickly and efficiently has never been greater for both OEMs and suppliers. For adhesive companies focused on creating groundbreaking products, the ability to test, tweak and perfect ideas before a real-world part is made is invaluable. By harnessing the power of modeling and simulation, engineers at Sunstar Engineering are reimagining how the company’s products are developed, saving time, reducing cost and innovating better solutions to the needs of the market.

With computer-aided design and finite elemental analysis tools such as SolidWorks, Abaqus, Ansys and others, our scientists and engineers can use modeling and simulation to visualize designs, predict product behavior, optimize features early in the development cycle or troubleshoot issues occurring in real world application. These tools enable us to create digital versions of a product and trial it in a virtual environment, acting as a blueprint, prototype and testing ground – all within the bounds of a computer screen....
