CAE or Computer-Aided Engineering is a term used to describe the procedure of
the entire product engineering process, from design and virtual testing with
sophisticated analytical algorithms to the planning of manufacturing. Computer-aided
engineering is standard in almost any industry that uses some sort of design software
to develop products. CAE is the next step in not only designing a product but also
supporting the engineering process, as it allows to perform tests and simulations the
product’s physical properties without needing a physical prototype. In the context of
CAE, the most commonly used simulation analysis types include Finite Element
Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Analysis, Multibody Dynamics, and
Optimizations.
