(2) modeling these problems as some type of mathematical formula. In CAE, when
using calculators as a means to analyze the model, this means of analysis needs
to be provided in the form of a calculation procedure, namely, (3) algorithms, so
that the software can perform the calculation. e validity, applicable range, and
performance or expected precision of such algorithms themselves can be deduced
from (4) some kind of theory.
Needless to say, the technology related to the computer itself, functioning as
hardware to realize the algorithms, undoubtedly has a large eect on the success
of CAE. In addition, the ...
