The role of a CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) Engineer demands a robust combination of technical hard skills (rooted in engineering science and software proficiency) and crucial soft skills for effective collaboration and problem-solving.

Technical Skills :
​These skills are directly related to performing simulations and analysis:
​Engineering Fundamentals: A deep and practical understanding of core subjects that form the basis of all simulations, including:
​Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics, Kinematics)
​Strength of Materials / Material Science
​Mathematics (especially numerical methods for FEA/CFD)
​Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
​Analysis Techniques: Mastery of the primary simulation methods:
​Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Crucial for structural, durability, stress, and vibration analysis.
​Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Essential for analyzing fluid flow and heat transfer.
​Multibody Dynamics (MBD): For simulating the motion and forces in connected systems (like linkages or suspensions).
​CAE Software Proficiency: Hands-on experience with industry-standard pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors.
​Pre-Processing/Meshing: HyperMesh, ANSA.
​Solvers: ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-DYNA (for crash/impact), Nastran (for dynamic/vibration).
​CAD Knowledge: Familiarity with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software like CATIA or Siemens NX is needed to prepare and modify geometry for simulation.
​Programming/Scripting: Proficiency in languages like Python or MATLAB for automating repetitive tasks, customising workflows, and post-processing large data sets.
