Virtual prototyping brings radical ideas
to market

The use of simulation software is today an essential part of the design cycle, not only optimising functional design and cutting material costs but increasing company profits.

The use of simulation software is today an essential part of the design cycle, not only optimising functional design and cutting material costs but increasing company profits by significantly reducing "time to market" Virtual prototyping provides engineers with the ability to establish fundamentals of a new project before building prototypes, and allows the economic assessment of the "what if" scenario

Analysis of design at this stage also permits use of minimal materials content without jeopardising quality and reliability.

Concerto and Opera, software from Vector Fields of Oxford enable radical designs to be simulated and tested at a fraction of the cost of traditional trial and error methods.

In the microwave spectrum, where visualisation is inherently difficult, one company reduced development time for from 1 person-year per prototype, to one designer analysing 60 designs in a single month using Concerto.
