CAE 1.1 History 1.1 History 1.1 History 1.1 History 1.1 History 1.1 History 1.2 CAD Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Computer aided design is defined as the integrated use of computer
systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis or optimization of a design. It is the technology concerned with the use of digital computers to perform certain functions in design and production. It is the major element of computer aided engineering.
Potencialities
Increase productivity quality improvement Varity of possible geometries Reduced design time Software Applications
Standard model NURBs modeling (Non Unifrom Rational B- Splines) 1.3 CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) Machining CNC Advantages 1.4 Computer -Aided Engineering (CAE) Is the use of computer software and hardware in the translation of stress analysis design models into manufacturing instructions for computer-aided vibration controlled numerical analysis machine tools. Structural analysis Noise thermal distortion, etc. Explicit Dynamics Fluid Flow Harmonic Response Linear Buckling More applications
Applications CAM takes this one step further by bridging the gap between the conceptual design and the manufacturing of the finished product.
For the sake of convenience, a single computer controller can drive
all of the tools in a single cell. G-code instructions can be fed to this controller and then left to run the cell with minimal input from human supervisors. Process of CAE Example: Stress Analysis Create a part or an assembly. Define properties. Material selection Define analysis steps. Define interaction. Loads. Mesh Job. Visualization. 2.

It requires knowledge knowledge about the software and its tools. Example Model a cylinder Method 1 Create new document. Create the sketch. Assign dimensions. Create the operation Extrusion. 2.42 Computation It focuses more in logic than in the use of the software. It requires knowledge of algorithms. Example Model a cylinder Here a program was created using Visual Basic and the API of Solidworks. Method 2 2.43 Another Example Example: Model a gear Method 1 Draw the geometry of gears tooth. The geometry of the gears teeth is complicated to draw. Each new gear would be a new problem to solve. Thus it is strongly recommended to create a routine to create gears with some initial parameters. Method 2 Creating a program or script. Project
Choose an object of the
nature. Analize it and create a software or script to generate its geometry.
