Most Design Decision Makers Use Simulation Inconsistently and Infrequently

So what is the takeaway here? I still believe that there are some serious skill and knowledge barriers to casual use of simulation and analysis. I think that is manifesting itself in this finding. But, to be clear, this finding doesn’t definitively prove that. We know that engineers making design decisions are using simulation at some rate. But we don’t know that they are using simulation to make design decisions. That is a very nuanced but very important point. This is one of the issues I want to take on in our new Simulation and Analysis Study.
