Introduction

One of CASs main goals is to assist designers and manufacturers during the design process to predict the behavior of the designed products, thus contributing to an efficient and effective design process. Computerized analysis and analytical simulation tools, reduce the need in costly investments in various prototypes as well as conducting expensive testing and expiriments. Computer Aided Analysis and Simulation (also known as the CAAS process) reduces time to market and lowers the developing, designing and manufacturing costs. Moreover, CAAS prevents production and post production failures by:

• Conducting Feasibility study
• Design improvement
• Early estimation of characteristic points of failure
• Design optimization

• Building a graphic numeric model of the physical parts
• Implementation of the boundary condition and loads.
  (forces, moments, temperature, power, etc.)
• Solving the numerical equation
• Finding the parts\elements working condition
  (stress, temp, fan working point, velocity, pressure, etc.)

CAS utilizes the latest and the best in breed analysis and simulation software packages such as HyperWorks FE and Coolit and SpaceClaim for cad and model defeaturing. However, the main tool of the trade in CAS is its team expertise and expirience in analysing and solving design issues, applying real life, creative solutions during all the design and manufacturing stages.
