• Resumen

  • The article discusses the use of digital simulation in product testing. An example of simulations used by engineers at consumer goods company Procter & Gamble (P&G) to sure that their Tide Pods detergent packages would behave properly inside a washing machine's chaotic environment is presented. Topics include high-performance computing (HPC)-based digital manufacturing, the challenges of switching from traditional methods to HPC-based methods, and Pliant Energy Systems' digital manufacturing concept for the development of technology that generates power from moving water using smart materials, called hydrokinetic devices.
