LG Electronics Performs Smartphone Drop-Test Simulation In Less Than 24 Hours With New Automated Approach

New versions of smartphones are developed every few months, and any steps that can be taken to reduce the time to market for new models can have a tremendous impact on the manufacturer’s profitability, positioning, and reputation among consumers.  However, some aspects of the development process have remained time consuming and have not yielded to attempts to accelerate those steps. One such process has been drop-test simulation, an important element in ensuring the quality and robustness, and thereby the marketability of a smartphone. Download the case study for information on how LGE has partnered with Altair to employ the HyperWorks computer-aided engineering suite to develop a way to save considerable time during drop-test simulation.
