A different simulation approach…
Deterministic design Nominal operation Worst-case scenarios Safety factors Easy to implement in simulation Probabilistic design Adds variation modeling Uses probability distributions, etc. Allows some probability of failure Difficult to implement in simulation

Probabilistic design → Robust design → Geometry assurance

Probabilistic design → Robust design → Geometry assurance
“Robust design is an engineering methodology that aims at minimizing the effects of variation without eliminating the variation itself. “ Phadke (1995)

Probabilistic design → Robust design → Geometry assurance
“Geometry assurance is a set of activities aimed at reducing the effects of geometric variation and increasing the precision of functional attributes of products.” Söderberg et al. (2006)

- Geometric variation has the most major impact within thermal
fatigue analysis.
- The case studies showed that simulation results were heavily
affected by geometric variation in parts and assemblies.
- Welding exacerbates the effects of geometric variation.
- Genetic algorithms can be used to mitigate these effects.
Conclusions –Research Question III
87
- We should improve the quality and technological maturity of the multidisciplinary simulation
environment, including its breadth as well its depth.
- To make this research more comprehensive, more researchers should be invited to contribute
within their respective fields of expertise.
- The weakest links of the simulation chain are currently those activities that stray from the
established and validated industrial design practices. Currently, these tools and methods lie within TRL 3-6. They need to be further matured.
