Recent Technology Trend on Digital Prototyping Using 3D-CAD, CAE and Optimization Methods

Abstract

CAE package software such as the structural, fluid dynamics and electromagnetic systems are being widely used on the design site. In addition, 3D-CAD technologies are positioned as key enabler to innovate product development processes. Especially, digital prototyping using 3D-CAD and CAE is being put to practical use as to shorten of development lead time, to reduce cost and to improve quality. This review is concerning about the recent progress of the optimization technology using 3D-CAD and CAE coupling and applications of digital prototyping are also described.
