Not specifically for additive

manufacturing, but just generally speaking, the traditional career path of a simulation engineer, whether they're looking into traditional mechanical stress analyses or lifetime or durability predictions based on finite element results, that traditionally is carried out or has been carried out by engineers with exhaustive training and a lot of hands-on experience.

Now, when the first simulation tools, predictive simulation tools, started to appear in additive manufacturing, more specifically in metal additive manufacturing, and we're talking about, I think, the early really commercial tools were available anywhere from 2012, where you had the first solutions till, you know, really 2015 till 2018, when more and more tools started to boom and come out.

But the first ones, the first tools were developed based on general finite element applications on finite element tools that were on the market.

And so traditionally, they had inherited the workflow, how finite element engineers traditionally used to work with these kind of tools, meaning a lot of, you know, you need to know how to define boundary conditions, how you define material models, how you define details about running the simulation.

So rather complicated a process.

Then again, in 2015, around 2015, tools started to pop up that made this change a little bit easier or made preparation and execution of these predictive runs simpler.

Since you've worked with so many customers and so many industries, You know, which maybe industries or types of customers would you say are ahead of the curve on simulation? And which industries or types of customers do you think need it most that are not ahead of the curve with simulation? Yeah, I
