Science-based framework provides verification and validation of digital models for compliance
Achieving compliance with safety and performance standards is critical for companies that want to stay in step with today’s markets. This makes Modeling and Simulation (M&S) an essential tool in the modern business environment.
Our M&S experts collaborate with customers and may help them accelerate design, development and reduce physical testing. This approach can help manufacturers stay competitive in their markets and deliver innovation with confidence.
Get to market quickly
Work with our experts to understand the benefits of M&S as a standalone and pre-certification activity, and how it may help shorten development cycles, reduce the need for internal validation tests, improve efficiency and streamline future evaluation plans for product certification.
Reduce overall costs
M&S may contribute to cost savings by supporting accelerated time to market, minimizing expensive physical prototyping and helping to prevent costly late-stage redesigns.
Have increased design confidence
This science-based approach to verification and validation of digital models helps increase design confidence through accelerated testing, rapid iterations and deep technical insights early in the development process.
Create a pathway to regulatory acceptance
The process for deploying M&S as part of certification requires a specific context of use, the appropriate digital model for a specific physical test and a robust assessment protocol — leading to a comprehensive report.
Develop a scalable simulation framework
Scaling through parallelization allows verified models to be reused for different design variations and helps optimize the supply chain for critical components. This approach drives consistency across the entire product platform.

Frequently asked questions
- How does M&S benefit product certification?
Our M&S verification and validation services enable manufacturers to reduce the number of prototypes that need to be developed, leading to a minimum of physical design validation tests in the manufacturer’s laboratory. This streamlined process can help accelerate time to market.
- How does M&S for compliance integrate with model-based engineering approaches?
M&S integrates seamlessly into model-based engineering workflows, helping to transform the traditionally physical-testing-intensive product development into a process that can incorporate compliance with safety standards early in the design phase.
- How does M&S enable manufacturers to get to market faster?
Our M&S verification and validation services help companies manage the prevailing miniaturization while also addressing the growing complexity of products and components early in the design process. This can help companies accelerate market access and reduce overall cost.
