Wave 2: November 2018
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Objectives:
This study was conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG) for Digital Engineering magazine. The research was done to
better understand awareness and usage of simulation and analysis software among design engineers and analysts. This study
is Wave 2 and compares results to the benchmark study launched in 2016.
Specifically, the research examines:
Respondent Profile
Purchase Process
Product and Brand Attributes
Brand Awareness
Brand Perceptions
Methodology:
The methodology in each wave was identical. An email invitation asking for participation in this study was sent to subscribers of Digital Engineering magazine.
The email included a URL linked to a dedicated website that contained the questionnaire.
As incentive to respond, all participants are offered the chance to win a $500 Amazon.com e-card.
Field dates and response for both studies follows:
2
Field dates # of returns Margin of error *
2016 July/August 603 4.1% +/-
2018 October 591 4.1% +/-
* The margin of error for the 2018 study is +/- 4.1%, meaning if the entire
population responded, results may vary by +/- 4.1%.
