Would it be awesome to have sales or after-sales staff working in Aspen handle the design?

When undergoing software training at the company, I became extremely familiar with the software
Not necessarily; they are familiar with sales techniques and the features and functions of software, but they may not necessarily have a good understanding of the underlying principles. Design requires a solid theoretical foundation as well as extensive practical experience.
It would be really awesome. A person skilled in manufacturing who learns a bit of software for design will be better than a person skilled in software who learns a bit of manufacturing.
I think so too; salespeople probably don’t have a very good understanding of the professional theoretical knowledge involved, after all, design work isn’t part of their job responsibilities
Not necessarily; software is a tool. If he is in development, doing simulations should be a good fit
Only those with a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge can handle simulations proficiently. Those in sales and after-sales services may be very skilled at operating them, but they might not know what the formulas are; even if they do know them, they may not understand when to use those formulas.
No, not necessarily. Although many of them are from chemical engineering backgrounds, if you listen to what they say, you’ll realize that their skills are roughly on par with ours; sometimes even inferior. It’s just that they are more familiar with software due to their daily use of it, that’s all.
