Is this not typically (read: always) the case with new technologies though? Before any production or engineering could be done, a model must be created. The fact that a model exists strongly implies that it is physically possible.
- scottlocklin 7y agoNo, as a matter of fact it's extremely rare a model precedes something physical that makes it to the corporeal world. Especially in device physics land.
- icandoit 7y agoMy pcbs existed in design software before they were manufactured. I expect that is the more common case today. I ran my code against a dev database before it went to prod.
- akiselev 7y agoThe GP isn't talking about products but about exploitation of physical phenomena. The first PCB was etched with the ancestor of our modern fab process long before CAD software. Although the hydrogen theory for acid and bases was discovered a few decades before, AFAIK there still isn't a unified model of acid-metal interactions for different copper alloys, let alone all metals.
