CAE Simulation for Beginners

Learning CAE isn't easy when you come from a CAD Design background, because it involves a very different engineering mindset!

The articles in this category will help you to understand the main concepts.

FEA basics – CAD model simplification for FEA analysis

Today’s subject: CAD model simplification for FEA analysis. Why do you need to simplify your model? How can I do that?  The most simple workflow for FEA analysis is: 1. Import CAD model 2. Mesh the model 3. Assign boundary and loads 4. Perform analysis Unfortunately, all may not go as smoothly as we want… […]

Plate with a hole analysis : FEA Basics

The plate with a hole ! Who didn’t start to learn FEA by this simple example ? I remember when i modeled for the first time this plate on the first NASTRAN in DOS during my FEM course, what a memorable moment… i had to run the program like a hundred times before getting a […]

The difference between CAD and CAE

This is a very basic subject that I would like to talk about, but it is fundamental to understand well that there is a world between this two words. I can always remember that when I had my first Computer Assisted Design (CAD) course in my engineering college in France (the Ecole Centrale of Lille), […]
