Model behaviour

Article Abstract:

Design software is being used by construction firm Amec to help reduce costs associated with rectifying problems caused by inaccurate design on construction projects. The system employed has been used by both space craft and air craft builders and is called Analytical Design Planning Technique. Amec has invested up to 210,000 pounds sterling on developing the new design software, with 50% coming from the government which is keen to help reduce costs and time constraints in the industry.
