The modeling plan is updated and updated code is generated in response to receiving the feedback to generate an updated CAD model for the object. Simulation boundary conditions for multi-physics simulations are generated based on the updated CAD model and the information. Simulation code is generated for simulation software to execute a numerical analysis based on the simulation boundary conditions and the updated CAD model. Simulation results are generated by executing the simulation code and functional defects in the updated CAD model are identified.
