The Factors Affecting Continuous Usage Intention of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Software

Abstract

The topic of improving manufacturing productivity has been constantly improving over a long period of time to compromise with unsatisfactory themes such as time, cost, and quality. It has recently faced a whole new challenge of pandemic as well as the various themes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. At this point in time verifying the intent of continuing use to experts on Computer Engineering Simulation (CAE), one of the main topics of engineering areas for improving manufacturing productivity, is meaningful in determining the direction of future changes. To this end, CAE experts from manufacturing companies and government-funded research institutes conducted empirical studies on the impact of perceived value factors, information system factors, and brand factors on satisfaction and willingness to use. It found that the perceived economic, temporal value, information and service quality, and brand trust affect the degree of continuous use through satisfaction.
