 2. STAGES IN COMPUTER AIDED ANALYSIS
AND DESIGN SOFTWARE
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software in analyzing
and virtually testing engineering products. With a CAE tool, you can simulate, validate,
and optimize products based on the results of a numerical analysis.
Includes three main phases:
•Pre-processing : Preparing, uploading, and adapting your CAD model for simulation–
Upload of CAD model. This is when engineers take their models and start applying
dynamics, environment, stress, and other factors.
•Analysis and solving : In this phase, engineers choose the various solvers they want to
put their products and structures through, and this is when computing power, resources
and performance come into play.
•Post-processing: Visualizations and reports are provided for evaluation by engineers,
product managers, and clients.
Types of CAE Analyses
• Stress and dynamics analysis using finite element analysis (FEA)
• Thermal and fluid analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Kinematics and dynamic analysis of mechanisms (multibody dynamics)
• Acoustics analysis using FEA or a boundary element method (BEM)
• 1D CAE, or mechatronic system simulation, for multi-domain mechatronics system design
• Simulation of manufacturing processes like casting, molding and die press forming

Benefits offered by CAE :

• Reduced time in product development
• Improved product quality and reliability
• Risk reduction
• Possibility to make corrections early in the concept and design phases
• Dramatic reduction in the costs associated with physical testing of prototypes
 • Example : Design of portal frame in Staad Pro

Pre-processing stage
• Creating structure, assigning materials, applying
boundary condition and loads

• Analysing if the structure is safe and getting

Analysis
various results such as reactions, shear force
diagram, bending moment diagram 

• The support reactions, support

Post-processing stage displacement, bending moments,
shear forces, axial forces, torsion
can be seen and the structure can
be designed for the forces and
moments occurring in the
governing load combinations.
