Computer aided development
The computer-aided development (English computer-aided engineering and CAE for short ) includes all variants of computer support for work processes in technology.
Sub-areas
The following areas are known:
- CAD ( computer-aided design , computer-aided design )
- Digital mock-up ( DMU , installation and removal tests, collision tests and feasibility tests)
- Discretization software (creation of calculation grids)
- Electromagnetism simulations ( FEM , FDTD , FIT )
- Electronics simulations (circuit development and simulation)
- Ergonomic Analysis (Human Modeling)
- Manufacturing process simulations ( computer-aided process engineering , CAPE)
- Fluid Structure Interaction ( FSI , fluid, structure and thermal coupling)
- Kinematics and rigid body simulations
- Multi-body simulation ( MBS )
- Mechanical stress on components and assemblies ( FEM )
- CNC programming and simulation ( CAM )
- Computer-aided quality assurance (CAQ)
- Statistical simulations ( Design for Six Sigma )
- Flow simulations with Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD )
- Thermal simulations ( FEM and CFD )
- Administration of simulation data ( simulation data management )
- Cross-domain simulation of complex dynamic systems ( system simulation and virtual commissioning )
