Abstract: Most designers use CAD and CAE tools to model and evaluate their products. However, the representation schemes of CAD and CAE entities are not exchangeable. It is the bottleneck for design process integration in the common practice of the industry. This presentation explores the prospect of semantic modeling and feature oriented integration between CAD and CAE packages with an object -oriented multi-facet representation approach.  Application cases of CAD/CAE interactions, cyclic initialization of optimization, and component behaviors modeling and analysis are discussed. Since this topic is only part of an on-going research field, the conclusions are open for further debate. More research and collaboration are being pursued.
