 Common Mistakes & Errors
CAE ENGINEER
• Submission of Job Without Proper checking (Should be cross checked by
minimum 2 CAE engineers)

• Import/Export errors

• Experience engineers are the best guides and teachers for newcomers.

• Meshing considered as low-level work (postgraduates & PHDs reluctant to

spend time on meshing)

• CAE Engineers reluctant to visit shop floor, testing department, field to study
manufacturing, functioning & failure of components.

• Providing basing training related to data acquisition & testing

• Unnecessary emphasis on modelling minute details.

• Loyal to specific software & resistance to learn and use new

• Not CAE but Design engineer is the most important person in Design Chain

• No consideration for manufacturing constraints and cost effectiveness while

suggesting the modifications.

• Laziness in fixing computer
• Accepting the jobs beyond their capabilities hardware/software related problems
• Promising unrealistic time schedule • Improper data backup process

• CAE manager /Group Leader should be someone who has

spend several years in the field, not the one who is expert in
other areas.

• CAE Process management

 TRENDS & PREDICTIONS FOR FUTURE
OF FEA
• Faster computing Speed and Algorithms
• Self adapting, Self-converging Technologies
• Multi physics, Multisolution Technologies
• CAE-embedded Systems
• Meshless TECHNOLOGIES (Ansys Discovery)
