An Overview of Computational Environments for Engineering

“…Many systems require the expertise of an analysts to be able to interpret the resultant data further removing the user from how their solution came to fruition. 44 It was suggested that the link between computers and humans could be strengthened to allow engineers to more readily and easily solve engineering problems without being constrained by the knowledge of the computer code, graphics, or the numerical tools necessary to solve difficult engineering problems. Today, the tools that exist allow full immersion into engineering environments where modeling and testing is done together.…”

Establishing an advanced engineering framework for engineering decision making

“…This research also discusses extending the ability to do shape optimization interactively with high-fidelity models that require intricate meshing routines and model preparation [Abodeely 2007, Engelbrecht 2007. The benefit of this is that shape optimization tools provide significant capability to design engineers to solve complex problems on their desktop.…”
