JOB DESCRIPTION

• Development of steel wheels to increase the load capacity, reduce the weight, or increase the fatigue life with FEA calculations.
• Using Hyperworks software for modelling in static, quasi-static condition and applying the loads & boundary conditions in Hypermesh.
• Performing linear/non-linear static analysis, reporting the FEA results and calculating the estimated fatigue life.
• Monitoring test results, real strain/stress data and correlate with FEA results to ensure to have a representative and validated engineering FE model.
• Monitoring test results and find out the counter actions to solve the problems.
• Using the topology & shape optimization with Optistruct to find better solution.
• Writing the macro scripts in TCL format to develop current or new FEA methods.
• Using Inventor for modelling the wheels and/or tools in 3D.
• Using Autocad for modifying the technical drawings in 2D.
• Using Hypermesh/Hypercrash and Radioss for process simulation.
• Researching the new innovative ideas, new technologies and market trends.
• Preparing the time plan for the projects, following up and writing reports & documentations.
