< Do you think they do not use any prediction tool during design?. XXX has a propietory tool, which is very effective in EMC modelling and prediction. > Sometimes when we integrate product rather than design it, it has been my experience when verifying our final product at an EMC test facility that we find quite often find failures, even when we've removed all of our additional items from the OEM part. My preference for predictive would be at initial design stage as you say and prior to any real measurement to ensure effective use of EMC chamber time. If I manufactured a very simple product and I had a low turn over/profit margin again I would balance predictive with real chamber time, but only if it's shown to provide repeatable results.
