| 1. A computer system for validating a proposed crimp, comprising:
a pre-crimp modeler configured to establish a geometry for the proposed crimp;
a plurality of virtual testing modules configured to determine at least one characteristic of the proposed crimp by using
a math based computer modeling based on historical data from a database storing crimp data or interpolation or prior knowledge
of database content; and
a virtual validation module configured to compare results from each of said plurality of virtual testing modules to respective
predetermined acceptable criteria in said database and determine if the at least one characteristic is within parameters deemed
acceptable according to test criteria in said database.
