One benefit of using a computer simulation to test the air bag design before conducting crash tests is cost-effectiveness. Conducting crash tests can be extremely expensive due to the need for specialized equipment, controlled environments, and safety measures. By using a computer simulation, manufacturers can simulate various crash scenarios and analyze the air bag's performance without physically conducting crash tests. This saves significant amounts of money as it eliminates the need for expensive physical materials, equipment, and logistics associated with conducting crash tests. Additionally, computer simulations allow for limitless iterations and adjustments to the design without incurring additional costs, providing a more efficient and cost-effective testing process.
