WHAT IS CAE SIMULATION?
CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) uses engineering simulation and analysis on 3D models to evaluate structural strength, deformation, thermal behavior, fluid flow, or injection molding processes before production.
This enables engineering teams to make more informed design decisions, reduce physical prototyping, and lower development costs.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CAE SOLUTION
Simcenter
A comprehensive multi-physics engineering simulation solution from Siemens, supporting structural analysis, thermal simulation, CFD, vibration analysis, and design optimization within an integrated engineering environment.
3D TIMON
A specialized solution for plastic injection molding simulation, enabling manufacturers to analyze material flow, gate locations, warpage, shrinkage, and molding conditions before mold manufacturing. It helps mold makers and plastics manufacturers reduce trial-and-error during mold development and optimize injection molding parameters earlier in the engineering process.
BENEFITS OF CAE SOLUTIONS
1. Validate Designs Before Production
Evaluate product performance and identify potential engineering issues directly on the digital model before physical manufacturing.
2. Reduce Physical Testing Costs
Reduce the number of prototypes and physical validation cycles required during product development.
3. Optimize Product Design
Compare multiple design alternatives and simulation results to identify the most suitable engineering solution.
4. Improve Product Quality
Reduce the risk of structural failure, excessive deformation, warpage, shrinkage, or other performance issues during product operation or manufacturing.
5. Shorten Product Development Cycles
Make faster engineering decisions based on simulation data and identify design issues earlier in the development process.
6. Integrate with CAD and CAM
Leverage existing design data directly for simulation and manufacturing workflows, reducing unnecessary data conversion and improving engineering continuity.
