Project (KUKA in MI): Design and Analysis of large aerospace fixtures

This Project involves validation of aerospace fixtures.

Scope involves meshing and analysis of large aerospace fixtures. Linear (elastic) analysis is performed to find strength and deflection of large aerospace fixtures for static loading and seismic loading.

CAD/CAE Environment: Solidworks 2014, Abaqus 6.8 CAE/Viewer

Project (KUKA in MI): Analysis of oil and gas industry product

This Project involves validation of strength of oil well flapper assembly.

Scope involves meshing and analysis (linear, nonlinear) of flapper assembly used in subsea. Linear (elastic) and non-linear (elastic-plastic) material properties are used to perform Burst and Collapse loading.

CAD/CAE Environment: Solidworks 2014, Abaqus 6.8 CAE/ Viewer

Project (KUKA in MI): Analysis of collet assembly

This Project involves finding snapping force in collet assembly.

Scope involves meshing and analysis (linear, nonlinear) of collet assembly with non-linear (elastic-plastic) material properties with contact definition at engagement point in collet assembly. Convergence is always challenging task in this assembly due to change in design.

CAD/CAE Environment: Solidworks 2014, Abaqus 6.8 CAE/ Viewer

Project (Altair in MI): Evaluation of Hypermesh core meshing and geometry functionality

Evaluating and providing feedback on the Box trim utility. Running different analysis checks to evaluate Box trim functionality for Radioss, LS Dyna and ABAQUS profile.
