A new IQSIM3 will allow the following problems to be addressed in addition:
1. Selecting a Design Class evaluate different welding technologies and the consequences for the total costs
2. Selecting a Quality class and Inspection to evaluate the total costs for a design.
3. Select Cost Calculation in order to evaluate the carbon footprint for the selected welding process 4. Select Store and Retrieve allows the designer to store the current simulation and retrieve it later. This allows a designer to compare different design alternatives for a product and to create design variations.
5. Fatigue design and allow the designer to evaluate both static and dynamic load conditions in order to optimize the design.
6. Simulation of the life cycle costs including life cycle costs based on possibility for repair at different levels
7. What considerations has been given to the green footprint of the production methods selected?
