Caselet War Gaming

I t's not animation, it's not gaming. It is war gaming, which is becoming big business
for simulation tool vendors.

Companies such as Dassault, UGS, PTC, MultiGen-Paradigm and even local ones such as
the Bangalore-based EDS Technologies and Cades work on the exciting domain of
simulation and virtual product development.

These companies offer software tools that bring interactive and high fidelity, real-time 3D
applications to the computer. With them, designers in automotive and aircraft
manufacturing can now get a very specific and detailed idea about their creation.
From how each component works/reacts to exact space and thermal computations to
learning the various factors involved in a real-world scenario, these complex tools offer
