      Hi both,
      the answer yes and no. I don’t pesonally make the prototypes but my models can be used to make them and it is actually very very important that tests on physical prototypes are made because only then we can understand how a component will behave. In addition to that, my models in order to be reliable need to use real data, like the material properties and in that case you can only get them if you take a piece of material and you test it. Testing can be quite fun too. Especially when you start breaking things!
