1. Introduction In today’s era of digital transformation, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has become a cornerstone of modern mechanical engineering. It enables engineers to simulate, analyze, and optimize complex systems before a single prototype is built. Whether in automotive design, aerospace, manufacturing, or electronics, FEM plays a vital role in improving performance, reducing costs, and accelerating innovation. For international companies operating in Vietnam, understanding and applying FEM efficiently can be the key to building world-class products with local expertise. This article explores what FEM is, how it works, and why it has become an essential part of modern engineering....
In today’s highly competitive market, optimizing research and development (R&D) is critical for manufacturing companies. As foreign businesses expand in Vietnam, achieving both technical efficiency and cost effectiveness becomes increasingly important. One key solution that has transformed the global automotive industry is engineering simulation — a digital approach that enables engineers to innovate faster and at lower cost. 1. The limitations of traditional R&D Traditional R&D processes rely heavily on physical prototyping and testing. Every design change requires new prototypes, lab tests, or field trials — consuming massive resources and extending development timelines.In the automotive sector, testing for crash performance,...
