Abstract
Weatherstip performance results obtained by standard methods are often inadequate, leading to expensive changes in prototypes. When final tests reveal design deficiencies, time and cost considerations generally make it very difficult to improve the sealing performance. EASi-SEAL, an integrated design-evaluation environment by EASi, is changing this trend by identifying design problems in sealing systems early in the product development cycle. EASi-SEAL is shown to dramatically reduce weatherstrip development time and to be a cost-effective, straightforward, design-oriented alternative general-purpose software and physical tests.
