Sr. CAE Engineer, Tata Technologies Limited, Pune, INDIA Jan’2013-July’2015

Worked on the crash analysis of commercial and passenger vehicles.(Solver: LS-DYNA)

Model building work included meshing, quality check, penetration check, interfaces, connections loading boundary conditions, debugging of the model as per crash guidelines. (Pre-Processor: ALTAIR HYPERMESH V11, Oasys Primer),Post-processing(Ls-PrePost,D3PLOT)

Quasi-static analysis- Seat belt anchorage test, roof crush

Dynamic -Full frontal vehicle crash analysis

Mapped forming stresses on the FE deck of sheet metal components: Designed the die surfaces in CATIA V5 (G.S.D module), and then use the .igs file to set up the FE deck for metal forming simulations (explicit) in ALTAIR HYPERFORM for LS-DYNA solver and later map the stresses and variation of thickness obtained to the BIW components for crash analysis .
