Are Skilled At

Hand calculations and complex simulations
First principles engineering
In general, we require multi-skilled simulation engineers, with experience of FEA, MBD and CFD. The target of our simulation engineers is to have, at least, expert knowledge and experience in one of these simulation types, very good knowledge and experience of another and some knowledge and experience of the third.
If you have some knowledge in one or the other fields we may offer, to a candidate with the right aptitude and attitude, to train you to become skilled in one or both of the other fields.
Some experience in all or some of the following disciplines;
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Have Experience Of

Working with internal combustion engines / rotating machinery and their sub-systems, including mechanical and thermal loading.
Operating in a demanding environment, demonstrating the use of analytical tools to complement and enhance the design of complex, highly loaded components/systems.
Simulating and analysing components and assemblies using finite element analysis. Have some knowledge and experience of analysing thermal, mechanical and fatigue loadings. Very desirable to have knowledge of analysing FEA problems using Abaqus and Abaqus/CAE software (meshing using Hypermesh or Sim Lab would also be useful) and analysing fatigue using FE-Safe software.
Simulating and analysing multi-body dynamics problems of mechanical systems, preferably with experience of engine, powertrain and electric motors. Very desirable to have knowledge of analysing MBD problems using Dymola and/or AVL Excite software
Simulating and analysing fluid flow problems using computational fluid dynamics. Knowledge and experience of simulating cooling, lubrication and fuel system components would be desirable.

Experience of using Star CCM+ would be preferable.

Demonstrate Knowledge Of

For FEA must be able to demonstrate some knowledge of comprehending mechanical systems, geometry preparation for FEA, meshing techniques, understanding and applying material properties, applying loads, evaluating the consequence of constraints and boundary conditions and making good choices, setting up complex contact interactions. Diagnosing, optimising and fixing solving issues. Setting up and understanding static, dynamic, thermal, linear perturbation, visco and fatigue analysis.

Performing fatigue analysis, including duty-cycles, load histories, high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue. Interpreting results and recommending realistic improvements.
For MBD must be able to demonstrate some knowledge of comprehending mechanical systems, vibration theory, natural frequencies, mode shapes, excitation forces, forced response, resonance, Fourier series/order analysis, and influences of mass/inertia, stiffness, lash/clearances and damping.
For CFD must be able to demonstrate some knowledge of comprehending realistic fluid systems, fluid dynamics theory, turbulence models, boundary layer…
