Computer Aided Engineering, or CAE, are comprehensive programmes covering basic as well as advanced computer-aided engineering procedures. Apart from learning about computer-aided engineering, you can improve your skills in the application of different computer-aided software that is essential for use in product designing, developing, and analysing.  

The following is a detailed overview of the CAE courses online:

• The CAE courses offer you a detailed understanding of the FEA, Quality check, 1D, 2D & 3D Meshing, Macro Generation, and Morphing Techniques.
•  You can gain geometry expertise before the meshing procedure is applied for mid-surface extraction.  
• The CAE courses offer you an insight into crash simulations (including Side, Frontal, and Roof Crush).
• The courses are aimed at gaining a better understanding of structural analysis automation.
