Simulation’s Role in Design for Manufacture 

This paper examines the role of simulation in modern Design for Manufacture and Assembly, using a spray-cooled piston engine as an example.

Presented at NAFEMS UK Conference 2026, this paper examines the role of simulation in modern Design for Manufacture and Assembly, combining 3D tolerance stack analysis with CFD to evaluate worst-case product performance. Using a spray-cooled piston engine as an example, it demonstrates how geometric variation, ISO GPS, and performance simulation can be integrated to create more robust and reliable designs.
