Structural Simulation Breakdown:
1930 vs Modern Football

How and why we went from heavy leather balls to modern synthetics

Football has evolved dramatically since the first international tournament in 1930. Designers have enhanced football equipment for optimal player performance by making changes to materials, sizes, strength and shapes. 

How do the balls and boots from the 1930s compare to what players use today in the modern game? You can answer those questions and test gear for athletes of any skill level with SOLIDWORKS structural simulation solutions. These tools can help designers create better products for on and off the pitch.
