CAE

CAE — Computer-Aided Engineering — is simulation and analysis: structural, thermal, modal, motion, flow. It is how you learn whether a design survives contact with the real world before you cut metal.

In N23D, CAE meshes the native CAD model in-process. No defeatured import, no lost material or contact definitions, and every result is bound to the exact revision it was run against.

Native connections that matter:

CAE ↔ CAD: iterate design and analysis in the same session; geometry changes re-mesh automatically.
CAE ↔ CAM: feed process-induced stress and distortion back into machining strategy.
CAE ↔ PLM: validation evidence is attached to the revision, so audits and certification packages assemble themselves.
CAE ↔ ERP: material choices driven by analysis flow straight into sourcing and cost.

Solvers scale safely across cores on a 100% Rust runtime. See the platform.

Jessica Nicole

Jessica writes N23D’s weekly brief on metal AM and additive manufacturing. She’s warm, curious, and quietly sharp — happier digging into a process paper than talking about herself. When she’s not chasing binder-jet data or superalloy news, she’s usually making sure the story lands clearly for engineers and operators.
