Intern- Structures

Job Description:

Job scope (core activities): 

• Propose and develop new kinematic mechanisms considering the design constraints, performance and business requirements

• Understand the type of joints/connections required to be modelled for MBS using CAD data of the assembly (CATIA Product)

• Understanding the tradeoff between the complexity of the MBS model and development time

• Creating the hard points required for the joints/connections (for location, orientation) in CATIA

• Creating stick models to understand the kinematics of the given mechanism

• Creating MBS models including friction, contacts, springs, forces, constraints

• Perform necessary pre-processing and post-processing steps for creating flexible bodies (mesh clean up, ASET nodes, interpret EIGEN values, MNF generation)

• Clearance / clash prediction, DoE, Sensitivity Studies, Failure cases of the mechanism, Stiffness correlations between the Physical Test and MBS model

• Determine the forces, torques, translational / angular displacements, range of motion using MBS

• Correlate the results from the MBS model with the Physical Test results if necessary

Required Domain Expertise: 

• Basic knowledge of the aircraft architecture and flight loads 

• Good understanding of the movable mechanical systems in an aircraft (Doors, Landing Gears, Control Surfaces..etc)

• Sound knowledge of the connections/kinematic joints and their DOFs, couplers, gear systems

• Sound knowledge of the methodologies for the kinematic design of a mechanism

• Hands on experience with design and analysis (kinematic, dynamic) of mechanisms

• Good understanding of creating flexible bodies for MBS (SOL 103, MNF files)

• Basic knowledge of meshing

• Ability to understand and create/modify python scripts (OOP skills would be a plus)

• Very good analytical and reasoning skills

• Experience with co-simulation using MSC Adams would be a plus

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
