Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), or computer-assisted simulation, emerged years ago as an extremely powerful numerical analysis software tool used in various scientific and technological contexts. It enables the digital reproduction, on a scale, of what would be obtained through live, sometimes destructive, experiments on real prototypes.

Today, increasingly advanced tools are available to perform CAE analyses and virtual tests without necessarily resorting to physical prototypes. These tools allow for the verification of the behavior of individual devices as well as the analysis of system behavior as a whole.

In this context, product simulation has assumed an increasingly significant and indispensable role over the years, not only for large industrial enterprises but also for small and medium-sized companies. CAE is now accessible to any organization and in various company departments, with several advantages such as:

Identifying and resolving potential design defects more quickly in the early stages of product development.

Effectively and rapidly evaluating a greater number of alternatives.

Reducing development costs by avoiding material and time wastage.

Optimizing designs and ensuring compliance with specifications.

Exploring new possibilities for a project without the risks, costs, and waste associated with physical prototyping.

Having a lesser environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary and polluting manufacturing processes, as well as the production of materials destined for waste and those that would require particular disposal operations.

CAE engineering consulting is a true digital prototyping process. This process encompasses not only Finite Element analysis (FEM) and structural calculation but also various engineering aspects, such as thermal, acoustic, fluid dynamics processes, and even production processes like molding.
