| Computer-Aided Engeneering |
| Computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs simulate effects of conditions such as wind, temperature, weight, and stress on product designs and materials. Examples include the use of computers to test stresses on bridges or on airplane wings before the products are built. CAE systems generally require very powerful (and expensive) computer systems. However, the time and money that can be saved during the development and testing stages of a product are significant and usually worth the expense. |
