Counterfeit Parts: The Cost to Your Business and How Ansys Can Help
Counterfeit components have been defined as a growing concern in recent years as demand increases for reducing costs. A counterfeit is any item that is not as it is represented with the intention to deceive its buyer or user. The misrepresentation is often driven by the known presence of defects or other inadequacies in regards to performance. Whether it is used for a commercial, medical, or military application, a counterfeit component could cause catastrophic failure at a critical moment.
