ICME - Systems Level

Ultimately, the value of ICME is derived from the ability to combine a variety of approaches and predict system level performance. By utilizing a holistic, multiphyisics approach, we can provide the most accurate prediction of material properties, processing effects, component behavior, and full system performance.
