Summary
Build, test, and iterate isn't a great way to build a rugged system. Too many variables are involved to take a brute-force approach, especially when it comes to power distribution and thermal issues. Simulation can provide designers with the necessary information to optimize a design for size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) before construction. It can also be useful in optimizing and debugging an existing solution.
This webinar delves into the problems, tools, and simulation solutions available to designers of rugged embedded systems.
