Today age is computer age. Most of our daily activities are being influenced by the use of computers.

While in areas like science and technology, improvements cannot be achieved without computers. It has become necessary for each and everyone of us to have a basic knowledge of application of computers. PowerPoint is a feature packed presentation programme whereas access is database management systems. Programming is backbone for preparing various technological projects, which can be achieved by C ++ lang uage most versatile one in todays scenario.

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of a wide range of Product Lifecycle Management computer-based software tools that assist engineers, in the manufacture of product components. 3D models of components generated in CAD software are used to generate CNC code to drive numerical controlled machine tools. This involves the engineer in selecting what type of tool, machining process and paths that are to be used.

SolidWorks Simulation offers powerful design validation tools tightly integrated inside SolidWorks, that allow you to easily see the behavior of your designs when you subject them to the same conditions that theyll experience in the real world. These tools will not only help you to predict the life of your products & improve their quality but also help you to save money by optimizing material utilization and saving your costs on physical prototypes and testing. SolidWorks Simulation Included with SolidWorks Premium, SolidWorks Simulation includes the core tools for simulating the behavior of your designs when subjected to external forces and pressures.

* Study stress, strain, and displacement in parts and assemblies. * Study the interaction between different assembly components. * Identify contact forces, stresses, and friction for parts that may come into contact during

operation. * Apply bearing loads, forces, pressures, and torque. * Transfer forces and restraints from remote locations to parts or assemblies. * Simulate the effects of gravity forces or forces due to rotation

For tough engineering problems like advanced dynamics, and nonlinear and fatigue simulation, you need a powerful tool that delivers reliable results quickly. Backed by over 20 years of FEA expertise and technological innovations, SolidWorks Simulation Premium offers the high-end analysis you need to get the job done. * Study nonlinear large displacement behavior of your designs. * Study nonlinear buckling such as snap-through buckling of diaphragms, switchblades, or soda cans. * Analyze designs made of nonlinear materials. * Optimize design with hyperelastic materials such as rubber, silicone, and elastomers. * Conduct elastoplastic analysis to study onset of yield as well as post-yield analysis in your designs.

* Include creep effects and material changes with temperature. * Perform dynamic analysis of parts and assemblies. * Study dynamic response analysis due to time history loading, response spectra input, steady state harmonic input, and random vibration excitations. * Utilize uniform and multibase motion systems that allow you to model structures with nonuniform support excitations. * Input power spectral density (PSD) of excitation curves of forces in random vibration analysis. * Study stress, displacement, velocity, acceleration with time study RMS and PSD values for stress, displacement, velocity, and acceleration. * Simulate composite material behaviour SolidWorks Flow Simulation SolidWorks Flow Simulation is the completely integrated fluid-flow simulation and thermal analysis program within SolidWorks software which takes away the complexity of using CFD software and delivers a powerful set of tools in the hands of an engineer who needs flow analysis, but is not necessarily an expert in the field of fluid simulation. * Complete Fluid Simulation software integrated with SolidWorks. * Simulate variety of fluids as External, Internal, Transient, turbulent & compressible flow. * Simulate Heat Transfer, conduction, convection (natural and forced) and Radiation. * Plot results for velocity, pressure, vorticity, temperature, mass fraction etc. * External flow analysis of liquids and gases around solid bodies (i.e., air flow over an airplane wing or water flow around a submarine). * Turbulent flow analysis using the K-E model to illustrate flow domain turbulence (i.e., gases from an aircraft engine nozzle). * Real gas simulation for accurately solving high-pressure or low-temperature gas applications. * Compressible flow analysis for gas flows in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speed zones. * Calculation of pressure drop on pipes using surface roughness values. * Design optimization using CFD-based flow and dimensional parameters. * Flow analysis of non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., blood, toothpaste, and plastic melts). * Moving wall flow analysis for studying flows relative to a moving reference frame. * Cavitation analysis for identifying areas in a model where cavitation will occur. * Humidity analysis for calculating relative humidity inside enclosures for climate control applications.

pro e and mastercam are softwares for geometric modelling. And softwares like Ansys, Abaqus, Nastran etc. are FEA softwares which are used for the analysis of particular object.

means if you apply a load on plate then how much deformation will occur and how much stresses will be produced, even you can see the simulation of deformation, stresses etc. for more information search on internet.
