What this episode covers

Mark Burchnall, Director of Engineering at PSN Labs, explains how mechanical modeling and simulation can reduce prototype iterations by 50% in combination product development. He details the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to support regulatory submissions under ASME V&V 40 standards. Burchnall emphasizes defining a 'question of interest' and assessing model risk to establish credibility, allowing models to replace or complement physical testing for high-risk design decisions.
