The Simulation Frustration
Hear the introduction…
Thomas spent years optimizing plastic parts through simulations, yet customers provided incomplete CAD models—no cooling, no distribution system—demanding fast, precise results.
Material details were vague, shrinkage unknown, and budgets tight. To cut costs, key factors like temperature control were skipped. Reports were sent but rarely read, leading to endless online meetings where Thomas repeated the same explanations.
“How accurate are the results?” they asked. “As good as your input,” he replied. Full simulations were always “too expensive.”
Then came the call—the mold was built, but parts warped, cycle times dragged, and production stalled. “The simulation was wrong!” they claimed.
But he warned them many times.
Now, fixing their mistakes will cost far more than doing it right the first time.
Will they ever learn?
