What is CAD-CAE-CAM

 Engineers and draftsmen use computer-aided design software to


create illustrations or 3D models. While most engineers should be
proficient with CAD, the amount of time they spend using it may
depend on their specific role and level of experience.

What is CAD?  For example, in some environments, designers may be responsible


for creating the initial design in a CAD program, while analysis and
release engineers will review and analyze it to make sure there are
no errors.
 Which CAD software is used can vary based on an engineer’s specialty, the
industry they work in or specific employer requirements. There are a variety of
highly specialized tools, with some software designed for specific industries. A few
of the popular CAD tools for professional engineers include:

 AutoCAD

Best CAD  CATIA


 Fusion 360
Software for  NX

Engineers  SolidWorks
 Maxsurf
 A 2019 report from market research firm Grand View Research also highlights the
growing trend of utilizing cloud-based CAD software, or outsourcing certain
design projects. However, the company expects continued demand for 3D CAD
software due to growing adoption of 3D printing. If outsourcing portions of design
becomes more commonplace, engineers will likely be more focused on providing
conceptual design ideas and interfacing with vendors to review final designs.
 Computer-aided engineering refers to the use of software to
simulate the effects of different conditions on the design of a
product or structure using simulated loads and constraints. CAE
tools are often used to analyze and optimize the designs created
within CAD software. Major categories of CAE tools include finite
element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and
What is CAE? multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO). These tools are
used to perform design iterations using virtual prototypes
(sometimes called “digital twins”) prior to building physical
prototypes. This saves companies significant time and money in
product development while often yielding higher quality designs
that meet multi-disciplinary and multi-functional requirements.
 There are dozens of CAE software tools used within the field of engineering. A few of
the leaders include:
 Abaqus
 Ansys
 Comsol
 Excel
 HEEDS
CAE Software  HyperWorks

Leaders  Matlab
 Nastran
 Simulink (XFLOW)
 STAR-CCM+
 The best CAE product choice will depend to some extent on the skills you want to
build and your specific career path. For example, niche products like OpenFOAM are
open source, which can provide a great deal of flexibility. However, many users feel
the software could be improved because it relies solely on a command line and has
no graphical user interface (GUI).
 Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) is commonly defined as the
use of software to automate manufacturing processes. CAM
software is able to translate CAD designs into instructions for
machines, increasing the efficiency of producing parts and
What is CAM? optimizing the amount of materials used.
 Because CAM is so intertwined with CAD, some software
companies produce both types of applications. SolidWorks, for
Best CAM example, offers a full-suite of tools for CAD, CAM and other
engineering processes. Similarly, companies like AutoDesk offer
Software combined CAD and CAM tools. Some of the leaders in CAM
software include: SolidWorks CAM, Fusion 360 and NX, which
combines elements of CAD, CAE, and CAM.
