PRODUCT ANALYSIS
Computer-aided styling (CAS) is a 3D modeling technique used to create the visual appearance of a product. It’s a key part of industrial design, especially in automotive and product design.

Key Aspects of CAE in Design Validation:
Simulation-Driven Design: Predicts how a product will perform under real-world conditions, such as structural loads, thermal conditions, and fluid dynamics.
Multiphysics Analysis: Simultaneous consideration of multiple physical interactions, such as thermal and structural coupling.
Virtual Prototyping: Digital testing of designs to identify potential flaws and refine solutions before physical prototyping.
Optimization: Using iterative simulations to find the best design configurations for performance, cost, and manufacturability.
Failure Analysis: Predicting and preventing failure modes such as fatigue, buckling, or material fracture.
Types of CAE Tools for Design Validation:
Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Evaluates stress, strain, deformation, and thermal behavior.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Analyzes fluid flow, aerodynamics, and heat transfer.
Multibody Dynamics (MBD): Simulates the motion and interaction of interconnected parts.
Crash and Safety Analysis: Assesses impact resistance and safety features in automotive or aerospace designs.
Electromagnetic Simulation: Evaluates electromagnetic interference, antenna performance, and signal integrity.
