What is CAE?What is CAE?
“It is the performance of engineering tasks or functions with the aid of a computer.”
It provides the means to cope with the demand for increased productivity of more sophisticated and reliable product design and manufacturing in today’s market.
The mechanical engineer will, have studied, used or been exposed to a variety of activities such as engineering drawing, design, manufacturing techniques and organizational planning and control.
There is a computer aided means for all these, and all fall into the definition of CAE.
Need ForNeed ForComputer Aided EngineeringComputer Aided Engineering
The need to develop computer-assisted techniques in engineering has arisen largely because of modern market demands.
People require goods of high quality and functionality and to meet this demand there is need for increased productivity in industry.
