Hi All,
Sorry for the vagueness of the post; I promised privacy to a friend who just obtained a patent. She asked me to find a way of testing the product. Since I have no access of any sort to a lab, I am considering doing Mathematical simulations. I wonder if anyone knows about this and/or has real-life experience with designing simulations.
Thanks.

Why the request for privacy? The patent system is based on "first to file", so there is no need for privacy after the patent application is filed. This is true for all countries that have signed the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty).

I have done many simulations. They are extremely useful in the early stages of product design, but do not eliminate the need for testing.

Good point, I had not thought of this. Will try to convey to the holder.
