Best Simulation & CAE Software - Page 3
Simulation & computer-aided engineering (CAE) software supports engineering analysis tasks. Simulation & CAE software encompasses finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multibody dynamics (MDB), and optimization capabilities. Simulation software is used by engineers and analysts to imitate a real-life phenomenon based on mathematical formulae before manufacturing. Due to its close relationship with CAE software, simulation software can also be referred to as CAE simulation software. Simulation & CAE software enables users to simulate, validate, and optimize products and manufacturing tools.
Simulation products are used for both academic and industrial applications across a variety of industries such as communications and agriculture. Many simulation products offer a wide range of functionality in the form of all-purpose multiphysics platforms that can be applied to a diverse range of use cases. Some fit-for-purpose simulation systems provide more limited functionality in a single area such as for modeling network or mechanical structures. Simulation & CAE products are frequently implemented with other CAx applications, such as computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, to support an organization’s product lifecycle management (PLM).
To qualify for inclusion in the Simulation & CAE category, a product must:
