VEXTECs big breakthrough.

• VEXTEC has cracked the genetic code of
  materials.
• Like DNA, in which every cell contains resident
  genetic information,
• every material has a microstructure that
  determines its behavior.
• Cracking this micro-structural code is the key
• to understanding how those materials will behave.
  
• VEXTEC is the only company to do this.

6

• By understanding how materials behave at the
  microstructural level, VEXTEC can simulate the
  behavior of a single part
• or an entire fleet.
• This capability has profound financial
  implications for every aspect
• of a companys business from product design to
  warranty costs.
• We call it Virtual Life Management.

• Accurately predicting the life of a single part
  -- or a fleet -- impacts financial results of
  every area of your business.

How VLM is connected to the bottom line.
If material micro-structure is the DNA of the
fleet, then
by understanding the characteristics of this
microstructure level, Virtual Life Management can
tell you how to make, save or spend money at
every level.
9
Unlike any other methodology, VLM is accurate.
We understand the material science of each
part.We know how parts are going to behave.
Were not guessing.

Virtual Life Management innovations.

• Computational Material Based Design

Or
Certainty Accurate simulation of material
families and alloys
Scalability DNA failure physics scales from
parts to products to fleets
Reference VEXTEC incorporates decades of
materials research
11
If the financial impact of an engineering
decision could be known beforehand
The failure physics of this part produced 50
failures
The failure physics of this part produced 500
failures
then better engineering decisions could get
made in the first place.

Why Vextecs VLM system is different.
Virtual Life Management adds value with timely
and accurate predictions about how products will
behave in the future.
Typical reliability analysis doesnt predict
product behavior. It just reports on what
happened and extrapolates from there.

Thank you.
