How do engineers test their prototypes and ideas from CAD drawings?
Do engineers have a program where they can import the 3D CAD drawing and test it for physics and desired performance? Is there an industry standard simulation software for these things? If engineers design an engine or parts of an engine what is the simulation environment they test it in?
Please let me know your ideas and mention any software you might have heard of that is used in the (mechanical/electrical/auto) engineering industry - from laying out oil hoses for a piston to creating a rotating crank for that piston. Integration of circuits and electronics with this mechanical simulation would be ideal as well. I would like to design the "under the hood" portion of the car with this software (designing the body would be nice too).
I suppose you would be able to design something like a toaster, shaver, iron or a lawn mower as well.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!!!
There is no software out there that can simulate everything. Simulation software is available for parts of your requirements.
You can get flow simulators to test the oil lines, you can get mechanical simulation to test for movement. There are electronic simulations but none that i have seen that also work with mechanical hardware.
No matter what all this software is in the thousands to tens of thousands Cheapest simulation software i know of is cosmos. They use with solidworks. I believe you can get a student version for around 300.
