Product-development simulation has emerged as a crucial component in cutting development time and cost, as well as helping to deliver superior quality and reliability. This 75-minute Webinar from the editors of Automotive Engineering examines the latest innovations in product-development simulation, including how digital twins are expanding into more areas of simulation and testing. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentations.
