 CAE
Computer Aided Engineering
• CAE: Performing engineering tasks or functions with the aid of
a computer

• Saves time in engineering drawings and 3D modeling.

 The abilities of the computer in CAE
• Analysis: powerful, rapid and accurate numerical analysis
• Data handling : storage, management and rapid access of
large amount of data
• Error handling : logical and systematic approach to error
detection
• Communication : rapid and accurate reproduction and
transmission of data
 Why CAE?
• CAE techniques provide the tools to cope with increased
productivity of more sophisticated design and manufacture.
Needs : Benefits :
• Good system design • Organizing time consuming
• Efficient and reliable hardware operations
• Repetitive operations
• Effective usable software
• Analyze complex problems
 The categorization of CAE
For a mechanical/manufacture engineer, there is computer tools
for:
• Design
• Analysis
• Manufacturing technique
• Numerical methods
• Planning
• Control
3D modeling
Gives geometric and mathematical description and used for:
• Analysis
• Design optimization
• Simulation ( stress analysis, fluid flow, kinematics)
• Rapid prototyping
• Manufacturing
Modern information handling:
• Enterprise-Requirement Planning (ERP)
• Product Data Management (PDM)
• Component and Supplier Management (CSM)

multiple calculations
without re-entering all of
the data)
Design Stage
Need to plan the following for
the manufacture:
• methods and processes for
manufacturing
• The schedule of production
