A general method has been put out by discussing the stamping process of a strengthening panel based on CAE platform.

CAE platform can support the whole cycle of the design of FACTS equipment, including theoretical design, digital simulation, regulation on line, physical experiment, and real time operation.

Key techniques of database in knowledge based Engineering (KBE) is given. In this example, LIBRARY module of large CAD/CAM/CAE software CATIA is used as secondary development platform.
