Impact analysis, also known as drop testing, is one of the most important stages of product design and development. Software that can simulate a drop test experiment accurately yields dramatic cost and time-to-market benefits for manufacturers. Altair drop test simulation is applied in various industries including electronic devices, cell phones, household appliances, white goods, and packaging. Compared to manual drop tests performed by a person or a machine, automated drop tests provide accuracy and repeatability and offer better insights to optimize and learn from every iteration.
