Expertise Overview

5 years 6 months of experience in CAE for US client ( Odyssey, Ridgeline, SUV's, NSX). Responsibilities include Kickoff meeting work allocation, responsible for the work flow

within the team. Responsible for the query/ answer process with the client and within the team.

Responsible for the vehicle integrity(BIW, Trims, suspensions systems, PT assembly, Exhaust) for NVH analysis.

Static stiffness load cases for the BIW. Dynamic stiffness load cases for the full vehicle like modal analysis for BIW and TB, FRF. Involved in development and validation of many automation process like

automatic bolt connection in BIW according to the M size. validation of new features in Hypermesh using real time test cases. model checker. auto modeling quality control.

Relevant Expertise

FE modeling for Automobiles ( BIW & TB Sub Systems):

Experience on handling subsystems like DOOR(structure/trim),Quarter-Panel , Pillar Trims , Instrument-Panel, Sub-Frames, Hood ledge, ROOF (headliner/structure), Consol.

Work experience in solid modeling for automobile and heavy engineering subsystemslike brake-caliper assembly brake pedal- housing assembly, differential assembly. bumper energy absorber.

Experience in converting the sub-systems from Dyna to Optistruct. Worked for ( U.S) on Full vehicle Model build.

Checking of subsystems and connections using Modal Analysis (structure/trim assemblies and Full Vehicle including Suspension systems, PT Model and Exhaust. ).

Experience in handling the full car spots and adhesive connections, Cavity preparation.

Mule projects(reverse engineering). Bench marking of Closure and Hood Assemblies using Topology Optimization

method. Worked on linear static analysis for Closures Assemblies.

Projects

1. Suspension model build and integration/modal analysis:

Worked on mainly two types of suspensions ( McPherson column strut, multilink). Leading the team of 2 engineers, guiding them on modeling and integration(connection like

Ball joints, Suspension bushes (Cbush), Weld connections(Cweld),Bolt connections (Cbeam\Cbar) Rbe3,Rbe2.

Modal analysis.

2. Power Train model build and integration/modal analysis:

Leading the team of 4-6 engineers, guiding them on modeling and integration (connection like CV joints, Mount bushes (Cbush), Weld connections(Cweld),Bolt connections (Cbeam\Cbar) Rbe3,Rbe2.

Modal analysis.

3. Steering systems model build and integration/modal analysis:

Leading the team of 4-6 engineers, guiding them on modeling and integration (connection like CV joints, Mount bushes (Cbush), Bolt connections (Cbeam\Cbar) Rbe3,Rbe2.

Worked on mainly three types of suspensions ( Rigid, telescopic and tilted). Modal analysis.

4. Exhaust/turbocharger model build and integration/modal analysis:

Leading the team of 1-2 engineers, guiding them on modeling and integration (connection like Mount bushes (Cbush), Weld connections(Cweld) Bolt connections (Cbeam\Cbar) Rbe3,Rbe2.

Modal analysis.

5. Full vehicle model build and integration/modal analysis/FRF:

Leading the team of 1-2 engineers, guiding them on modeling and integration (connection like Mount bushes (Cbush), Weld connections(Cweld) Bolt connections (Cbeam\Cbar) Rbe3,Rbe2.

Modal analysis.

6. Full vehicle model integration(using NVHD Tool) /modal analysis:

Worked as an engineer, integration using Altair tool (NVH Director), change of bush stiffness, ball joint. brake on & brake off condition, LP models apply Road Load data.

7. Mule vehicle build and integration/modal analysis/FRF:

worked on reverse engineering project to fit the body parts using Hyper morph and general designing methods.

we have to develop vehicle by combining different vehicles (converting hatchbacks to sedans or combining different SUVs for design modification ) basically morph the vehicle parts for compatibility and by adjusting the stiffener parts, study and improve modal frequencies.

Modal analysis.
