The manufacturing sector has always relied on trial and error in developing products and processes. Prototypes are built for testing, results of which are used to alter the design of a part in such a way to make it work until arriving at a compromise. Unfortunately, this approach is not only ineffective, it is costly in both time and money. Further, resulting products or processes are not optimum. This paper describes some material tests necessary to building computer models and presents studies WIDL successfully completed on behalf of manufacturers in Canada and the United States.
