SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXPEDITING DESIGN OF PHYSICAL COMPONENTS THROUGH USE OF COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT VIRTUAL SIMULATIONS

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that expedite the design of physical components through the use of iterative and computationally efficient virtual simulations. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can be used as part of an iterative design process in which a product designer is able to iteratively make changes to a component design by iteratively interacting a visualization of a virtual representation of the component within a virtual environment.
