What is CAE?

CAE, or Computer-Aided Engineering, is the broad usage of computer software to simulate performance in order to improve product designs or assist in the resolution of engineering problems for a wide range of industries. It encompasses simulation, validation, and optimization of products and manufacturing tools. Common CAE applications include: stress analysis on mechanical parts and assemblies using FEA; thermal and fluid flow analysis using CFD; kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanisms; and manufacturing process simulation like casting, molding, and die forming. CAE tools enable engineers to analyze and understand how designs will behave under various operating conditions before physical prototypes are built, reducing development time and costs.
