Abstract
In modern virtual product creation, functional and behavior simulations of products (and associated services) play a foundational and constantly increasing role. The need for not only creating a virtual model, but also “studying its behavior in reality” as well as “improving and streamlining its structure”. This chapter provides an insight how basic and advanced techniques of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) work, how Engineers can benefit from them and how different CAE models, methods and tools are used in industry. Overall it provides the right background and evolution of CAE and explains how CAE can be successfully applied in product development. The reader gets inside on how CAE model build works and which assumptions are important to leverage CAE solutions for product verification. In addition, advanced technologies such as topology optimization are described and practical examples are illustrated.
