EverySim CAE Simulation: from Engineering Question to Evidence
Understand computer-aided engineering (CAE), the difference between simulation and CAD, and how to evaluate browser-based CFD and structural FEA workflows with EverySim.
CAE means computer-aided engineering: using computational methods to support engineering analysis. CAD defines geometry; CFD analyzes fluid behavior; structural FEA analyzes a discretized solid model. EverySim connects browser-accessible simulation workflows, but selecting the right model remains an engineering decision.
Turn a Design Question into a Simulation Plan
Define the decision first: compare aerodynamic configurations, estimate a load or inspect deformation. Specify the result quantity and an acceptance criterion before choosing a solver. A colorful result is not evidence that the modeled question was the right one.
A Traceable CAE Workflow
Keep geometry, units, materials, loads and boundary conditions with each study. Change one documented design variable at a time when comparing alternatives.
- Prepare a geometry revision and identify the analysis domain.
- Choose the physics and numerical assumptions appropriate to the question.
- Generate and check the mesh, then inspect convergence.
- Compare the result with a reference, an experiment or a justified engineering estimate.
Where EverySim Fits
EveryDrone, EveryAero and EveryStructure provide product-specific entry points for drone, aerodynamic and structural engineering. Check available workflows with your representative case. Cloud access does not prove a model is valid, and calculators are not a replacement for detailed analysis when their assumptions do not apply.
Questions and answers
What is a cloud-based simulation platform?
One where you set up the analysis in a browser and the computation runs on cloud servers. EverySim works this way for CFD, FEA and Vortex aerodynamics.
Can I start CAE simulation for free?
Yes, EverySim has a free start. Sign up and you get 5 credits right away, plus 20 more when you finish onboarding, as a one-time grant. Tutorial runs are free, and credits are only used when a simulation completes successfully; failed and cancelled runs cost nothing. Check current platform pricing for larger runs.
Which CAD files does EverySim accept?
STEP, IGES, BREP and STL for CFD and FEA; STL for the Vortex propeller and rotor workflow. EverySim does not author CAD, so bring your own geometry.
Who is EverySim for?
Engineers, companies, research institutes and individuals who need CFD or FEA but lack a licensed CAE package, the expertise or a dedicated analyst, in any industry.
How is EverySim validated?
On a KARI reference case, EverySim results agreed with wind tunnel tests to 97%. EverySim was founded by KISTI researchers, and its workflows build on 17 years of KISTI work on 626 manufacturing projects.
What is the difference between CAD and CAE?
CAD describes design geometry. CAE uses an engineering model, boundary conditions and numerical analysis to investigate behavior. Preparing a CAD model does not automatically make it simulation-ready.
Does EverySim simulation establish certification?
No. Numerical results need application-specific verification and validation; they do not independently establish certification or safety.
