Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) – Fast and Efficient Product Development Through Calculation and Simulation.

Traditional testing with physical prototypes is usually time consuming and costly. At the same time, customer expectations and competitive and innovation pressures are rising faster than ever before. Although these physical prototypes cannot be completely replaced by the use of simulation software, their number can be significantly reduced in all development phases.

Each individual component is first digitally generated with its individual physical properties. The components are then assembled to form an exact replica of the product. On the basis of this model, any number of tests can now be carried out virtually under various environmental conditions – until all requirements have been met. Weak points are detected at an early stage, deformations and warpage can be predicted and manufacturability checked. In this way, quality, product performance and safety are not only guaranteed, but in many cases even improved.

Those who do not have their own simulation department, insufficient capacities for large and complex CAE projects or time pressure can outsource numerical simulations and thus fall back on the know-how of experienced simulation engineers without having to invest in personnel, training and software themselves. Through the use of highly professional and mature simulation programs as well as a powerful IT structure, accurate and reliable results can be achieved in a short time in specialized engineering offices.
