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%.
