Abstract :
Nearly all areas of electrical engineering have CAD/CAE available in one form or other. In some instances, commercial packages are available, in others the packages are only just emerging from the originating laboratories via software houses. Commercial packages are now available in many areas including: power systems and radio and microwave frequency systems, an important area to power engineers for several reasons, all related to noise and interference, mathematics, control, data acquisition, spread sheets which have yet to be fully recognised as being extremely useful, and simulation
