So what is Computational Engineering?

The transition from Digital Engineering to Computational Engineering will affect all three pillars of engineering: design, validation and manufacture.

We will move from manually drawing pictures of our ideas in CAD, to defining what we want: the computer will do all of the manual execution work in generating the CAD for us.

We will move from setting up and running simulations manually to telling the computer what we want to verify: the computer will set up, run, interpret the simulation results, and suggest changes to improve the design.

We will move from manually programming CNC toolpaths, creating set-up sheets and work instructions, to automated machining and 3D printing.
