What is CAD/CAE?
CAD/CAE are softwares used in product design modeling.
CAD is Computer Aided Design. It is used to make 2-D or 3-D designs of products through computers.
CAE is Computer Aided Engineering.
This involves using software apps for engineering analysis and testing of the design or product.
CAD is widely used in animation, architectural designs, mechanical designs, etc. to create, modify 2-D or 3-D design models.
CAE helps the designer in product testing by providing virtual simulations for field experiences.

In CAE simulation, CAE software is used to test the product by providing virtual situations of the field conditions and environment that the product will have to endure.
Some examples of CAD and CAE software are: CAD – AutoCAD, TinkerCAD, Solidworks, etc.
For CAE – MATLAB, Simulink, Fusion360, etc.
The major difference between computer aided design and computer aided engineering is that CAD is a software that is used to build a product design and CAE software is used to test and analyse the product through simulation.
