Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CAD is applied in many engineering-based industries such as shipbuilding, aerospace design, architectural, industrial design, and car manufacturing. But for the last one, it’s more than useful. It was first applied in the automotive way back in the middle 1960s. Ever since then, its use in car design has expanded significantly.
Vehicle design in Industry 4.0 is highly digital. Furthermore, it’s accessible to stakeholders across the manufacturing chain, thanks to the magic of product lifecycle management systems. CAD Software does way more than its name implies. It’s highly beneficial because it allows secure storage of copies of data, drawings, and blueprints. Moreover, it includes interior design, mechanics, architecture, modeling, animation, and engineering. And that’s not all – in addition to the actual design, it can support product data management, analysis and much more. It is the time when all automakers now depend on CAD for their design as well as the overall process. It enables them to work with other experts and simulate performance. As technology evolves at lightning speed, collaborations have become an essential part of effective manufacturing.
This special issue aims to address how CAE has contributed to vehicle development and address its future applications.
