Even without physical data, the simulation can still be useful for comparing the design, material, and process.
What happens if you change the material, processing conditions, testing conditions, or environmental variables?
Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion.

Pre-heat paper in a dryer to 260 F (132 C), then print immediately to maintain registration, or cover with plastic sheeting.
Remember to continue to keep the transfer paper in plastic wrapping or in a temperature controlled oven, as moisture will invariably be absorbed by the paper between each printed color.

According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicle’s volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.
Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.
The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials can be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.
