Why is There a Strong Demand for CAE Services in India
CAE maybe an acronym but the scope of this engineering tool is wide and varied. CAE or Computer Aided Engineering is a type of computer software that is used to analyze and virtually test engineering products. The reason why the power of this tool is wide and varied because it allows an engineer to simulate, substantiate and optimize products on the basis of numerical analysis.
Various industries avail of CAE services in India for three reasons:
1. To determine the permanence
2. Enhance the performance of assemblies and components
3. To reduce the number of physical prototypes before product launch
Besides, engineering simulation forms an integral part of product optimization and forms great support for design teams.
Today, a combination of CAD and CAE has emerged as an important part of the workflow for design engineers. When the SaaS version of both CAD and CAE is used, it brings about a reduction in the differences, increasing the chance of building a CAD model and requiring minimum effort to run engineering simulations.
There are three main components of a CAE simulation session. These are:
i. Pre-processing: Describing the environmental and model factors and upload of CAD model
ii. Running solvers applications: Depends on the simulation analysis algorithms
iii. Post-processing: Substantiation of the 3D visualization and model
Advantages of using CAE are:
a. Optimization of the process and or product
b. Particle simulation as a part of an industrial flow procedure
c. Kinematics and dynamic analysis of mechanisms
d. Simulation of manufacturing procedures like casting, molding and die press forming
e. Analysis of thermal and fluid incorporating computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
f. Analysis of stress and dynamics using finite element analysis
What are the application areas of CAE today?
CAE tools chiefly play a major role in SVP (simulation, validation and optimization) of products across various industrial verticals. These include aerospace, energy, HVAC, electronics, plant engineering and consumer goods.
CAE has diverse applications that are used to create both small components as well as complex appliances and heavy machines. Following are the applications of CAE:
Automotive industry: CAE tools are majorly used in the automotive industry. Automakers can now reduce the cost of product development and save time while enhancing the other features of an automobile like comfort, safety and durability. Earlier only physical prototype testing was used for design verification but a larger availability of CAE services in India has replaced it with computer simulations using CAE tools.
Equipment and machine components: CAE also plays a significant role in the development of machine components and equipment. For example: a car braking system’s thermal analysis, a router part’s thermostructural analysis, various stress situations that a bike frame is subjected to and so on.
Machine parts and equipment in an industrial process: This includes a centrifugal water pump using the MRF method(multiple reference frame) or flow of water through a globe valve.
Complex process analysis: CAE is used for complex process analysis like producing natural convection heat off the condenser coils of a refrigerator and even for the water purification process in a maze channel reactor.
And the list continues. No wonder it is said that CAE has a vast scope of application in the field of engineering.
Conclusion: Computer Aided Engineering has made simulation easier while solving other engineering problems.
