Title: Use computer-assisted engineering (CAE).
Course: Manufacturing Systems II, Advanced (13002-II) > Section: Applying Automation Technology to Manufacturing

Use of CAE should include

- efficiency modeling using calculations to determine the effectiveness of intended criteria and functionality
- analysis of model testing for material stress.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the similarity and differences among CAD, CAM, and CAE?
- How has CAE decreased time to production?
- What are some examples of CAE software?
- What is the value of running software simulations vs. making and testing prototypes?
- What is computational fluid dynamics (CFD)?
- What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?
- How do opensource, proprietary, and cloud-based software affect costs?
