Session Speaker
Mr. Umesh S.
Session Objectives
At the end of the session, the delegate would have
understood about –
– CAE Systems and its components
– Product development cycle and the role of computers in
product development
– The need for product data management in a modern
design and manufacturing cycle
• Introduction
– CAE is the performance of engineering tasks or functions with the
aid of a computer.
– The greatest impact of CAE has been in engineering drawing/
modelling. It gives us a great savings on time in 3D modeling.
• The abilities of the computer in CAE
• Why CAE ?
– With the assistance of computer and these aid or tools can be
categorized into four main areas.
– Drafting & Design, Modelling & Analysis, Production Planning &
Control, Manufacturing
– CAE techniques provide the means to cope with the demand for
increased productivity of more sophisticated and reliable product
design and manufacture. Modern Days Demands
Sophisticat Greater
ed productivity
• What CAE needs designs
– Good system design
– Efficient and reliable hardware The computer
– Effective usable software aided solution

• CAD
– CAD is the technology concerned with the use of computer systems to assist in
Creation, Modification, Analysis and optimization of a design

• CADD
– There are hundreds of CADD programs available in the CADD
industry today.
– CADD is an electronic tool that enables you to make quick and
accurate drawings with the use of a computer.
– Unlike the traditional methods of making drawings on a drawing
board, with CADD you can sit back in an easy chair and create
wonderful drawings just by clicking the buttons of a keyboard.
– Moreover, drawings created with CADD have a number of
advantages over drawings created on a drawing board.
– CADD drawings are neat, clean and highly presentable.
– Electronic drawings can be modified quite easily and can be
presented in a variety of formats.

Mainframe Computers
• Very large computers used to process very
large volumes of data
• Applications include:
– commercial data-processing
• payroll
• billing
• accounting
• inventory control
Mainframe Computers
• Applications include:
– Scientific Applications
• Simulation
• Modelling
• Fast, accurate, extensive calculations
Mainframe Computers
• Channels
– Normally, all operations are funneled through a
single CPU
– But I/O to devices is much much slower than
speed of the CPU
– A channel is a separate processor which handles
all I/O to memory
– CPU is then free to execute instructions at the
same time as the channel is doing I/O
Mainframe Computers
• Time-Sharing
– Sharing of a single (very fast) processor which
switches back and forth among many separate
programs in memory
– Historically, this was used to allow many (up to
100s) of users to use a mainframe simultaneously
– The advent of the PC and networks has meant
that time-sharing is on the decline
Minicomputers
• Effectively the same functions as mainframes
• Due to improvements in technology
• Reductions in costs
• Tend to be smaller and cheaper
Microcomputers
• A computer with a CPU based on a single-
chip microprocessor
• Today’s microprocessor-based
microcomputers are much more powerful
than mainframes of 10 years ago
Workstations
• A ‘High-End’ computer
• Significant computing power
• Used for scientific and engineering work
• Typically offers excellent graphic capabilities
(visualization)
• Inexpensive workstations are equivalent in
power to top-of-the-range PCs
Workstations
• Client/Server Computing
– A form of distributed computing
– The application is distributed into cooperating
parts which are independent of one another
– And run on different, but inter-linked
(networked) computers
Workstations
• Client/Server Computing
• A client is an end-user computer or program
which requests resources or services across a
network
• A server is a computer running software
which fulfills those requests across the
network
Workstations
• Client/Server Computing
• For example, a networked, distributed
computing environment might have a
database server, an e-mail server, an
application software server ...

Supercomputers
Other Peripherals:
Stylus
Digitizer (Tablet)
Puck
Communication
• Communication between computers plays an important role
in CAD/CAM/CAE implementation
• To exchange data between CAD systems, it not only requires
compatibility of application data formats but also the
hardware system compatibility
• Computers are required to communicate with each other.
– E.g: A workstation might be connected to a
supercomputer for analyzing FE models and to computers
on a shop floor for transmission of manufacturing data to
machine tools
• The locations of these computers may be within the same
building, within the same campus or may be spread
geographically
• Computer networks
– Local Area Network LAN
– Wide Area Network WAN
• Connecting media
– Twisted pair
– Co-axial cable
– Optical fiber link
– Microwave links and so on.
• Topologies
– Bus
– Star
– Ring
