CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering)

What is computer-aided engineering (CAE)?
The CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) is the set of software tools and technologies that support the engineering analysis and simulation of a product or process during the design phase. It includes activities such as structural analysis (FEM), fluid dynamics (CFD), thermal, vibrational and more. Thanks to CAE, it is possible to predict the physical behavior of an object without having to make physical prototypes, optimizing performance, reducing costs and accelerating product development. CAE is a key component of advanced design and Digital Twin.
How Var Industries can support companies with CAE
Var Industries offers a complete ecosystem of CAE solutions, integrated with CAD and PLM environments. Software like Simcenter 3D , Simcenter FLOEFD, Simcenter Femap and Simcenter Flotherm XT enable high-precision multi-physics simulations to be performed directly within the design process. These tools help manufacturing companies make better decisions early in development, dramatically reducing time, cost and design revisions. The synergy with the Digital Twin also allows the product's performance to be validated in simulated real-world conditions.
