Qualifications

• Graduate/Postgraduate in Mechanical Engineering with 3–6 years of experience in finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS (Workbench & APDL).
• Experience in turbomachinery domain (gas & steam turbine) with casings and rotors is a plus.
• Strong understanding of ANSYS element library, material models, and APDL scripting.
• Experience with ACT and Python scripting is advantageous.
• UG NX modeling experience including SpaceClaim or Design Modeller is required.

Responsibilities

• Proficient in FE meshing of complex structures using 1D, 2D and 3D elements in ANSYS/NX; Helical hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes with transitions; Hypermesh is a plus.
• Model setup including material, boundary conditions, loads and contact; linear and nonlinear analyses.
• Perform static thermal, structural and modal analyses; experience in transient thermal, harmonic and buckling analyses is beneficial.
• Bolted joint assessment using reduced order and 3D modeling approaches.
• Fatigue analysis (LCF/HCF); thermo-mechanical fatigue, fracture mechanics and creep analyses are a plus.
• Validate results, document assessments with summaries and conclusions; participate in reviews and present to stakeholders.
