Computer Aided Engineering

Computer-aided engineering (cae) is the intentional use of specific technologies for supporting engineers in tasks such as analysis, simulation, design, manufacture, diagnosis, planning and repair.
cae tools are typically used to analyze the performance of components and assemblies through simulation, validation and optimization processes.

CAE areas:

-Stress and strain analysis on components and assemblies.
-Thermal and fluid flow analysis Computational fluid dynamics.
-Mechanical event simulation.
-Analysis tools for process simulation for operations such as casting, molding, and die press forming.
-Optimization of the product or process.

Traditional three phases of CAE:

-Pre-processing define the model/environmental factors to be applied.
-Analysis solver.
-Post-processing of results.
This cycle is used many times to optimize the final result of the process.
