Job Role & Responsibilities:-
Role: Pedestrian Protection and Component Crash CAE Simulation & Evaluation
Responsibilities:
- Prepare full vehicle CAE models using HYPERMESH/ANSA/PRIMER - Mesh discretization, Assembly, Constraints & Load setting - for automotive sub-systems and components.
- Component Strength and Pedestrian Safety CAE simulations using LS-DYNA software. Development of vehicle body structures and aggregates for Pedestrian protection & Component strength (SBA, ISOFIX, etc.,)
- Model optimization and Robustness using Hyperstudy, LS-OPT etc.
- Interpretation of results in LS-PrePost/ HyperView/ Hypergraph - comprehend failure modes and provide directions for countermeasures by performing parameter studies on the FEM model.
- Report preparation and communication with stakeholders - design, testing - for implementation of countermeasures.
- Interact with testing teams for analyzing failures, correlation of CAE results with physical testing and make improvements in CAE for better correlation.
Competency Requirements
Technical / Functional:
- Strong knowledge of Strength of Materials, Theory of Elasticity/Plasticity, and Automotive Body, Sheet Metal, and Plastic Part Design.
