Sommario/riassunto

Computers are ubiquitous throughout all life-cycle stages of engineering, from conceptual design to manufacturing maintenance, repair and replacement.  It is essential for all engineers to be aware of the knowledge behind computer-based tools and techniques they are likely to encounter. The computational technology, which allows engineers to carry out design, modelling, visualisation,  manufacturing, construction and management of products and infrastructure is known as Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE).  Engineering Informatics: Fundamentals of Computer-Aided Engineering, 2nd Editio
