As a CAE Analyst, I have specialized in automotive interior systems, with strong expertise in meshing and structural analysis, focusing on durability, simulation accuracy, and user experience. Modeling• Specialized in car interior components with expertise in shell meshing, including IP/Console, front floor, door trims, dash cowl, and pillars.• Strong knowledge of BIW and plastic components, gained through extensive hands-on experience.• Proficient in solid meshing using TETRA elements, with additional capabilities in HEXA meshing and rigid connections.• Skilled in Moldflow modeling for plastic part simulations.• Successfully delivered a Cross Car Beam (CCB) with seam weld connections. Analysis• Conducted non-linear strength and quality feel analysis of air registers under pull/push loading to assess structural integrity and user experience.• Performed comprehensive quality feel evaluations on IP, center console, and moonroof components to validate tactile feedback and durability.• Executed modal analysis of a Cross Car Beam to determine natural frequencies, mode shapes, and dynamic stresses, optimizing the structure to avoid resonance.• Carried out non-linear structural analysis on grab handles mounted on IP, A, and B pillars, applying multi-directional loads to validate mounting strength and reliability.• Assessed actuation load on switches through bezels to ensure smooth operation and user satisfaction. CertificationAchieved recognition for supporting a major interior project in Q4 2023. Additional ContributionsCaptured and developed a feature library for interior plastic parts (IP/Console) using Embedded Clips and ML Toolkit. Validated by ANSA for future CAD updates to improve design efficiency.
