Computer Aided Engineering
Computer Aided Engineering is the broad usage of computer software to aid in
Engineering tasks.
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the use of computer software to simulate
performance in order to improve product designs or assist in the resolution of
engineering problems for a wide range of industries. This includes simulation,
validation, and optimization of products, processes, and manufacturing tools.
In general, there are 3 phases in any computer aided engineering tasks:
Pre Processing (Finite Element Model)
Analysis
Post - Processing

Finite Element Analysis
The user constructs a model of the
part to be analyzed. Then
the geometry is divided into a number
of discrete sub-regions or elements
connected at discrete points called
nodes. Certain of these nodes will
have fixed displacements, and others
will have prescribed loads. Then the
loads of real value, direction and
type are applied on the model.
Then the software display overlays
colored contours representing stress
levels on the model, showing a full
picture similar to that of photoelastic or
moire experimental results. this
method is used for almost every kind
of CAD components.

Capabilities of HyperMesh
CAD Interoperability
o HyperMesh provides direct readers for industry-leading CAD data formats
for generating finite-element models.
o HyperMesh has robust tools to clean up (mend) imported geometry
containing surfaces with gaps, overlaps and misalignments that prevent
high-quality mesh generation.
o By eliminating misalignments and holes, and suppressing the boundaries
between adjacent surfaces users can mesh across larger, more logical
regions of the model while improving overall meshing speed and quality.
o Boundary conditions can be applied to these surfaces for future mapping
to underlying element data.
