Responsibilities
- Perform linear and nonlinear static structural simulations using Ansys Mechanical for Mechanical systems
- Conduct Modal Analysis to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes for critical components.
- Execute Vibration Resistance Analysis (harmonic, random, and response spectrum)
- Carry out Fatigue Life Estimation using stress-life / strain-life approaches for components under cyclic loading.
- Perform Shock analysis to assess component survivability under abrupt dynamic loading conditions.
- Develop and execute Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulations to model motion and contact interactions between moving components like actuators and linkages.
- Define and apply appropriate material models, boundary conditions, loads, and mesh strategies based on component service conditions (fluid pressure, thermal, mechanical).
- Interface with design, materials, and test teams to correlate simulation results with physical test data.
- Document all simulations in formal engineering reports and support design review presentations.
- Coordinate with stakeholders to obtain approval from approving authorities / agencies.
Stay up to date with industry standards (API, ASME, ISO) relevant to component design and performance validation.
