Enhancing Product Innovation with Computational Engineering

Silicon Valley is the home of many of the most innovative high-technology industries that have ever existed. Their level of innovation gives them a competitive economic advantage that sustains a significant portion of the US economy. While there have been dozens of attempts in the US and abroad to replicate this success, few have been very successful. A relatively new approach to product development is emerging, computational engineering. It is based on the use of computing, especially high-performance computing, to design, construct, and analyze virtual prototypes of new products.
