Role: Powertrain Strength & Durability Responsibilities: • Develop Powertrain and Auxiliary system FE models using HyperMesh and SimLab. • Execute CAE simulations for powertrain systems including: • Modal and Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis. • Nonlinear structural and thermal analyses. • Low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue assessments. • Define and apply structural and thermal loads, boundary conditions, and solver settings for simulation execution. • Perform post-processing, interpret simulation results, identify failure modes, and develop countermeasures to achieve target performance criteria. • Generate and evaluate weight and cost optimization proposals. • Collaborate with design and test teams for failure analysis, CAE-test correlation, and continuous improvement of CAE methodologies. Technical/ Functional: • Strong understanding of engine components and subsystems, including engine block & cylinder head, cranktrain, and exhaust systems. • Hands-on experience with CAE tools such as Abaqus, FEMFAT, Nastran, AVL Excite, HyperMesh, SimLab, and NX. • Sound knowledge of powertrain systems, combustion phenomena, and associated thermal and dynamic load conditions. • Proficient in Nastran dynamic analyses (SOL103, SOL111, SOL112), Abaqus thermal and nonlinear simulations, and FEMFAT fatigue assessments. • Experience in Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) analysis using AVL Excite is an added advantage. • Capable of handling large DOF finite element models involving complex nonlinear contact interactions. • Proficiency in MS Office applications and macro-based automation for reporting and workflow efficiency. • Demonstrated problem-solving, analytical, and data interpretation capabilities.
