Illustration of the interaction of the various computer-aided technologies.
Computer-aided technologies (CAx)[1] is the use of computer technology to aid in the design, analysis, and manufacture of products.
Advanced CAx tools merge many different aspects of the product lifecycle management (PLM), including design, finite element analysis (FEA), manufacturing, production planning, product
