computer-aided engineering (CAE)

Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) involves the use of software tools to simulate, analyze, and optimize the design and performance of products before physical production. It enables engineers to test structures, materials, and systems virtually—assessing factors like strength, fluid flow, and heat transfer—reducing the need for costly prototypes. CAE improves accuracy, accelerates development cycles, and helps identify potential issues early, leading to better, more reliable products. It integrates various computational techniques such as finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to support efficient and innovative engineering solutions.
