What tools do naval engineers use?

Naval engineers use a variety of tools and software for designing, analyzing, and testing naval ships and structures. These tools can include computer-aided design (CAD) software, finite element analysis (FEA) software, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, model testing facilities, and various measuring and monitoring instruments for structural testing. Additionally, naval engineers may use specialized tools for welding, machining, and material testing during the construction and maintenance of naval vessels.
