LESSON 1.2: CAE (Computer Aided Engineering)

INTRODUCTION TO THE LESSON

The main objective of the CAE module is to predict the behavior of a component subjected to external loads through finite element analysis. CAE technology allows performing linear, non-linear, thermal, stress, and dynamic analyzes, studying geometry and physical properties, to simulate product performance.

The CAE module provides the student with the tools necessary to understand and create different types of analysis: static, thermal, peak load, and modal.

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS LESSON

At the end of the training, students will be able:

  1. the basics of structural mechanics: displacements, deformations, and tensions within the structures.
  2. to know the different boundary conditions applicable to the system
  3. to know the different types of mono, bi, or three-dimensional elements to discretize the domain
  4. to analyze and idealize CAD geometry: defeaturing, idealization, and clean-up.
  5. 2D, 3D or combined meshing of face or object

to demonstrate the ability to learn and apply different types of analysis: static, thermal, peak load, and modal.

SUMMARY

Thanks to this lesson you have enforced

  1. the knowledge of the different finite element analysis based on the type of the problem to simulate and predict the behavior of parts or assemblies.
  2. the knowledge of the fundamental elements to be able to choose the correct study, apply constraints and external loads to the system, and create the mesh of the elements.
