CAPS

CAPS

CAPS stands for “Computer-Aided Prototyping System.” It is a design and modeling tool used in various fields, particularly in engineering and product design, to create prototypes of systems and components. CAPS allows designers to simulate and analyze the performance of a prototype before actual production.

Examples:

• In automotive design, CAPS can be used to create a virtual model of a car, allowing engineers to test aerodynamics and safety features.
• In software development, CAPS tools may simulate user interactions with a new application, helping to identify usability issues before launch.

Cases:

• A company using CAPS to prototype a new electronic device can quickly iterate on design changes based on testing results.
• An architectural firm employing CAPS to visualize a building’s layout and structural integrity can make informed decisions early in the design process.
