FAQ ABOUT FREE ENGINEERING & SIMULATION SOFTWARE
CAE (Computer-aided engineering), employing software tools, simulates performance to enhance product design and tackle engineering issues across industries. It encompasses simulating, validating, and optimizing products, processes, and manufacturing tools, utilizing software models. Open-source and proprietary CAE software foster innovation in companies.
FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software plays a pivotal role in CAE, widely recognized for its diverse engineering applications. Automotive companies and manufacturing teams employ FEA simulations to evaluate materials, thickness, and shape effects on critical performance indicators like crashworthiness and durability.
Simulation software empowers users to forecast system behavior. This versatile tool finds application in assessing novel designs, troubleshooting existing ones, and subjecting systems to challenging scenarios, like simulating satellites in outer space, yielding valuable results for companies and engineers. And optimize process flow systems with simulation software.
Engineers turn to FEM (Finite element method) when they aim to craft a pragmatic design suitable for a specific application model, prioritizing practicality over perfection. FEA involves employing mathematical equations rooted in FEM to generate a finite element analysis (FEA) simulation.
Here are examples of CAE software in list form:
- Abaqus, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS from Dassault Systèmes company
- Fusion 360 and Autodesk Inventor from Autodesk company
- SimScale from SimScale GmbH company
- Solid Edge, Siemens NX from Siemens company
- COMSOL Multiphysics from Comsol company
