3.1 Assignment Part 1
CAE Packages SurveyIn this section we will discuss the various modules and features available in CAE packages underconcern.
3.1.1 Pro/ENGINEER [1]
Pro/ENGINEER, PTC's parametric,
integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution, is
used by discrete manufacturers
for mechanical engineering, design andmanufacturing. Created by Dr. Samuel P.
Geisberg in the mid-1980s [1], this is one of
the most powerful CAD/CAM/CAE packages
available in the market. It was developed by
Parametric Technology
Corporation (PTC).This was one of the first
CAE package which revolutionized the
industry by the parametric or variational
feature-based, associative solid modeling.
This package works Windows and SUN
Solaris Operating system platform[1].
It has inbuilt capabilities of design
optimization techniques which helps the
engineers in the preliminary product design
hence reduces the overall design cycle of the product. One can also integrate Finite Element
Solvers like Ansys and Nastran with Pro/ENGINEER Mechanica Wildfire 5.0 for use in FEM
mode[1]. By providing a scalable platform and incorporating features like tolerance analysis and
simulation, Pro/ENGINEER can drastically enhance the manufacturing capabilities. These
features are really useful in CNC and Tooling Design & manufacturing sectors [2] .

Pro/ENGINEER Mechanica(advanced) helps in examining a product loadings under loadings like
thermal and structural hence completes the mechanical design software analysis. At the same
time Pro/ENGINEER Tolerance Analysis Extension (TAX) which is reinforced by CETOL
Technology which can be used to study the affect of tolerance accumulation after assembly and
hence evaluate dimensional impact on the product beforehand. This feature can be a boon for
the reverse-engineering area. These capabilities really shorten the product development stage.
Pro/ENGINEER Mechanism Dynamics Option (MDO) gives us the flexibility to analyze the
motion and behavior of the system in dynamic conditions. This module of Pro/Engineer reduces
the cost of manufacturing a prototype. The simulated system can be analyzed through intuitive
graphs. The BMX (Behavioral Modeling Extension ) tool helps to understand the influence of
various parameters in the design and helps to optimize the system by evaluating the impact of
changes on these metrics. Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Analysis Extension helps in studying the
ergonomics of the human interaction with machines and helps in designing the workplace by
considering the human factors and their movements. It helps to study the macro and microlevel motion study which helps to reduce the unnecessary steps by optimizing the operations
hence generating an efficient and safe workplace for mankind. Another module is the
Pro/ENGINEER Fatigue Advisor. This helps to analyze the system under fatigue and helps in
deciding the warranty costs and field failure and life of a product. Pro/E has complex tools and
is generally recommended when an assembly has very high number of parts.

3.1.2 CATIA [4]
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional
Interactive Application) is also an highend CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software
equally competent with Pro/E which i s
developed by the French company Dassault
Systemes. It is marketed worldwide by IBM[3] .
CATIA is developed using the platform of
the C++ programming language, which now is
one of the key package of the Dassault
Systemes PLM software suite. It is widely used
by the Aerospace and Automobile
enterprises. CATIA offers through a
multidisciplinary approach a full spectrum of
design capabilities and enables efficient
collaboration through the design community
to encourage innovation across the extended
enterprise [4].
The Latest CATIA version is V6R2011.This package combines the dynamics behavior of the
structure and will be used with PLM 2.0 platform. With the combination of V6 with PLM, CATIAbecomes one of best tool in project management since it enables brainstorming in 3D outsidethe engineering department.It has a very large number of specific modules to the desired system to be analyzed.

3.1.3 Solid Works (SW) [7] Solid works is a 3D package extensivelyused in the medium and small scaleindustries. It is generally popular formodeling but now as its newer versionsare launching, large number of analysismodules are being added to it.Animation and lifelike image is one of the best feature. Defeature tool help incommunication with the client or othersin which one can hide their proprietarydetail.
Enhanced beam analysis tool helps inanalysis of parts rather than wholeassembly to simulate real worldconditions. Other good feature is theHVAC and cooling module in which onecan simulate the air and heat transfer without leaving the SW environment.
SW automatically assign weld number to the weldments hence reduces chances of forgetting toassign weld reference number in a welded structure. This helps in easy management and inestimation of welding consumables quantity.
3DVIA Composer Interactive Storyboarding helps to reduce communication time and train theemployee by providing previous and next step of design on the same screen. Its PDMintegration helps to manage the parts and helps in efficient procurement and quality assurance.Through PDM, all other departments like marketing , welding, estimation, fabrication, QualityAssurance get to know the product requirement and hence helps in reducing the productmanufacturing cycle.

SW also uses the parametric modeling feature hence competes with the Pro/E , Solid Edge andInventor. Still Pro/E is preferred if the assembly is too large. SW also have the feature of Re-useand tolerance stack-up analysis like Pro/E. CATIA is also the product of same company as solidworks. One major difference is that it works on PDM platform whereas CATIA is far ahead andworks on PLM platform. At the same time, Pro/E uses Windchill as an ERP(PLM) for datamanagement. SW differs from CATIA with the sophistication of work involved like non-linearfinite element analysis, acoustic simulation, noise and vibration analysis, fatigue and unsteadyheat transfer analysis. In comparison to high end softwares like CATIA or Pro/E, Solid Works hasfewer functions and makes them easy to use.

4 DiscussionFurther to our study future analysis on the usage of the CAE packages ,we can also incorporate thereviews of the customer , blogs and discussion forums. Before deciding the efficiency of usage of anyCAE package it can be helpful if one reads the experiences of the users that are found in the variouscustomers reviews,blogs and discussion forums. I think it can also be an good way to judge the efficiencyof any CAE package since the people comments comes from their hands on experiences. Listed beloware the Jobs result( from the website www.monster.com) as on date 7 th September 2010
a. ANSYS : 151 openings
b. Pro/E : >1000 openings
c. CATIA: >1000 openings
d. SolidWorks: 851 openings
e. Abaqus: 2 openings
f. NX: 38 openings
We can see that the jobs required in CATIA and Pro/E are comparatively very high than other CAE tools.
One more fact I have noticed is on the Facebook , the number of people joined the community are listedbelow (just for information):

5 Conclusion
Our study concludes that CATIA , PRO/E and NX are high end tools which are focused in CAE interms of electromechanical field. These CAE packages can model, mechanize and simulate theproduct in a single environment. SolidWorks focuses more on the modeling part and is amedium level of CAE packages. There are many varieties of CAE software in the market. Fromthe above study we can conclude that each CAE package has its own area of focus. For example,CATIA application are inclined more towards aero and auto mobile industries whereas Solid
works concentrate on the modeling and assembly part hence more inclined towards weldedstructures. Abacus and ANSYS are more inclined towards finite element analysis and are usedfor high computing areas. Hence the User interface for solid modeling for ANSYS or ABAQUS isnot better than other CAE packages discussed. At the same time none of the ERP packages likePro/E or CATIA are competitive with the ANSYS or ABACUS in terms of Analysis.

Rating 1 Poor
2 average
3 good
4 better
5 Best Above rating is my opinion on how I feel to rate the software package after going through the
literature on these packages. It shows the relative feature comparison with respect to thefeatures required by our job. These kinds of table needs to be developed using more number of people for survey.
For the 5 year usage, I will prefer CATIA over any other package since it has many feature thatprovide complete manufacturing solutions in a single environment. Also there is considerabledemand of this package in the market. For the FEA specifically the packages like ANSYS orABAQUS are used and I will prefer both of them for FEA since both are high end solver for FEAwhere a complex geometry can be analyzed.
