What is interesting is how the different technical communities don't like talking to each other.
Hard to find a simulations guy who is good in bending iron who in turn is good at FMEA.
Remember the RCC panels that was struck by styrofoam? The technical review swore until they are blue in the space that it cannot break when struck by ice or styrofoam.
Then when it actually broke on the bench when struck by a test piece, there was a visible (and audible) gasp in the room.
Had the same thing happen in the drop test on igniteability of cordite with black power granules under a shock / compressive load. The pros swore it can't happen until it happened.
Sometimes, I seriously wonder about the data and algorithms that go into most simulation models, that is based on judgment and experience.
