Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

There’s nothing new about testing and analyzing product prototypes virtually. Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), collectively CAE, have been around for years.

Since the first FEA solver, Nastran, was developed for NASA in the 1960s, the simulation software industry has contended with a number of hurdles. For one, while the software (FEA, CFD, CEM) is ...

Do you love the idea of exploring a potential product and helping plan how to build it using computer-aided design? Engineering design technologists do just that. When you enroll in WMU's program, you ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...
