Cam processes

Question 1

Computational fluid dynamics

Answer 1

Available in some 3D packages and it is use to simulate the flow of fluids or gases in or around a product. Can test products and the results are then used to develop and improve products. This saves time and Monet as real models don’t need to be produced.

Question 2

Finite elements analysis

Answer 2

Uses computer modelling to carry out component stress analysis. Designers use it to simulate things such as vibrations and shock loads. This can highlight weak points in a product which may need further development.
