Engineering Analysis Streamlines All Aspects of the Manufacturing Process
Engineering analysis using FEA or CFD technology has become standard for most manufacturing companies. The discussion is no longer about whether or not engineering analysis is valuable, but instead, how much it will help and what is the best way to implement it in the organization. With almost 30 years of experience, CAE Associates offers expert engineering analysis and consulting services to a variety of industries, including aerospace, biomedical, chemical processing, civil-structural, electronics, industrial machinery, pharmaceutical, and turbomachinery.
FEA and CFD Technology Fuse Accurate Analysis and Design Effectiveness
Some of the many ways engineering analysis using CFD and FEA technology can help an organization include:
Validate your design concepts and/or manufacturing processes
Reduce the need for modifications or redesign late in the manufacturing process
Eliminate the massive costs associated with modifications or redesign
Confirm failure models and determine whether a redesign is necessary
Eliminate the need for costly prototypes and destructive testing
Save design time and money, allowing you to get your product to market faster
Ensure the effectiveness of the design while accomplishing all of the above
The benefits of performing simulation in the design process are well documented. According to studies performed by the Aberdeen Group, best-in-class companies perform more simulations earlier using CFD and FEA technology.
According to a white paper1 from the Council on Competitiveness, U.S. manufacturers must compete on innovation, not cost. High-performance computing (HPC) modeling and simulation, through the use of CFD and FEA technology, enables innovation by reducing design cycle time, development costs, certification costs, and re-engineering costs, and improves performance and efficiency while reducing waste.
