In recent days, I considered seriously about the NX 2nd development of FEA optimization wizard under the NX-Nastran environment using ug-nx 2nd development API. This project was still not yet finished completely so far, because a lot of requirements need to be denoted clearly. Some questions in the process i met as following,
For cae engineer, or anyone using FE Method:
What kinds,sizes,shapes of elements should be used?
Where should the mesh be fine and where may it be coarse?
Can the model be simplified?
How much physical detail must be represented?
Is the important behavior static, dynamic, non-linar or what?
How accurate will the answers be?
How can they be checked?
...
Anyway, I think CAE things need much knowledge like mathematics, computer science etc and much experience like mechanical engineering background, and I believe it maybe show me a bright future.
Although I do love intelligent device, it is another topic.
hoho~
