Fundamentals of Computer-Aided Engineering

This book:

• Outlines general concepts such as fundamental logic, definition of engineering tasks and computational complexity
• Covers numerous representation frameworks and reasoning strategies such as databases, objects, constraints, knowledge systems, search and optimisation, scientific computation and machine learning
• Features visualization and distribution of engineering information
• Presents a range of IT topics that are relevant to all branches of engineering
• Offers many practical engineering examples and exercises

Fundamentals of Computer Aided Engineering provides support for all students involved in computer-aided engineering courses in civil, mechanical, chemical and environmental engineering. This book is also a useful reference for researchers, practising engineers using CAE and educators who wish to increase their knowledge of fundamental concepts.
