Mechanical engineer with 10 years of experience in mechanical design and engineering and product development. I also have an extensive knowledge of metal manufacturing and processing (machining, sheet metal, stamping, welding), plastics injection molding and 3D printing. I offer not only design and engineering service, but the complete process of product development from your idea to product launch: CAD design from first sketches • concept design • rendered images for funding and marketing purposes Detailed design and engineering of assembly and parts • material selection • engineering analysis and simulation (motion, structural, fluid flow, cooling, …) • design for manufacturing and assembly Technical drawings and documentation • complete product technical documentation (assembly and parts drawings, bill of materials, assembly instructions) • user manuals Prototyping & testing • product prototype manufactured by 3D printing/CNC machining/Rapid Injection Molding/Sheet Metal • network of dozens established and verified prototyping suppliers • in-house FDM 3D printer adequate for small quantities and very short lead time • prototype suitable for testing of functionality, funding purposes, or it can serve as a minimum viable product to test your idea Serial production • design optimization for high volume production • production cost optimization • network of dozens established and verified manufacturing suppliers Together with my collaborators, we can also offer industrial design and electronics/PCB design if it is required for your project. I'm proficient and prefer to design in PTC Creo, but I can also design in the CAD software of your choice (SolidWorks, Inventor, SolidEdge, Catia). For 2D .dwg and .dxf drafting I use Draftsight. In the product development I often use FEM and CFD analysis to simulate the product behavior in real world environment, to reduce the number of iterations in the prototyping and testing phase of the product design. For simulations I use SimScale and Ansys.

- 5 years of CAD experience with Solidworks, Creo and Catia - 4 years of experience with Abaqus static FEM analyses (linear and non-linear) - 3 years of experience with CFD - Fluent and openFOAM My primary interest is external aero analysis which is the majority of my CFD work, but also work with internal, mainly for CHT analyses. Previous work experience includes development, CAD design and testing of winter road maintenance equipment (snow ploughs, salt spreaders) and reverse engineering and improvement of gas turbine components - from single parts to complete assemblies like GT side rotor holder. My experience includes: ▪ CAD model design, adaptation, cleanup and segmentation using Salome and other mesh editing programs. ▪ Programmed scripts for automated parametric geometry creation. ▪ Automated meshing script for snappyHexMesh for obtaining low Re meshes with 25 layers (100 % coverage) for complex geometries ▪ Implemented parametric analysis job control programmed in Python. ▪ Cluster runs and job control script ▪ RANS analyses (Spalart-Allmaras, kOmegaSST, k-kl-omega) ▪ Performed CFD analyses and optimization of airship model and components (Parametric and FFD optimization using genetic optimization) ▪ Propeller simulations (MRF and actuator disk models) ▪ Automatic generation of analysis reports I'm open to work on projects that involve CFD, CAD, FEM or reverse engineering.
