Deep Submergence Computer Aided Engineering Support

Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) support is provided for analytical and soft prototyping support, flow analysis, structural analysis, - kinematic analysis, and other appliccltions. Although this work has been generally tailored to support deep submergence applications, it has been used for a myriad of other uses. CAE applications can support almost any commercial or industrial design activity. CAE methods allow cost savings and product quality improvement through the use of software that allows objects to be designed and tested as computer models, rather than expensive physical prototypes. SDRC Ideas solid modeling and analysis software, ALGOR structural and heat transfer analysis software, FIDAP computation fluid dynamic software for flow and heat transfer analysis, and other PC-based software for drafting, heat exchanger modeling, pipe flow modeling, and kinematic analysis are available. This software can also be used for forensic analysis of failures or examinations of existing problems. Personnel are trained in the use of these software packages, including the softwares' abilities and limitations.
