Mastering DFX: Engineering for Manufacturability, Reliability, and Beyond

The Value of Front-Loading and Design Rule Checks To minimize costly rework in downstream processes, designers often invest significant effort into Design Rule Checks (DRCs)—a practice known as front-loading. One vital category of these checks ensures that the designed geometry is suitable for subsequent production steps. This approach is a key component of what’s broadly…

Scan-to-CAE: Streamlining Simulation with 3D Point Cloud Modeling

Executive Summary Recent breakthroughs in 3D modeling—particularly the integration of laser scanning and point cloud data processing—have redefined how Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulations are approached. With solutions like Elysium’s InfiPoints, engineers can now bypass time-consuming model recreation workflows by directly converting real-world scans into CAE-ready models. This white paper outlines the “Scan to CAE” methodology,…
