Introduction to CAE
In Week 5, we'll define, solve, and review a static stress simulation using the Fusion 360 Simulation Workspace. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) removes some of the guess work previously associated with design. Advanced tools like buckling or modal frequency analysis can help shape the parameters for design updates before prototyping or production. Walk through Static Stress Simulation setup, solve, and review process.

About the Autodesk CAD/CAM/CAE for Mechanical Engineering Specialization
The demand placed on today’s engineers goes above and beyond the job description. Products have become complex and engineers are more frequently asked to leave specialized roles and to take on a wide variety of tasks that are beyond their traditional responsibilities. These tasks are centered on form, fit, and function. Engineers need to factor in broader concerns such as cost, procurement, sustainability, manufacturability, and serviceability. Their role has moved away from an individual responsibility to working as part of a collaborative engineering team, executing tradeoffs with both engineering and business stakeholders to meet project goals. These trends have forced today’s engineers to broaden their skillset to be successful.
