Application of Computer Aided Engineering in Reducing the Product Development Life Cycle

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is the most important and essential tool in product development process. Huge challenge is faced by the companies while integrating CAD and CAE in their design process. The previous studies do not clearly give the impact of CAD and CAE on product development process and particularly its impact on cost and time of development. The study is carried out to show the importance of CAD and CAE as a tool of product development and its effect on the development cost and time when implemented early in the process.
