About
I am an Electromechanical Engineering student (6th semester) and CSWA-certified SOLIDWORKS designer with a strong background in mechanical design, structural analysis (FEA), fluid dynamics (CFD), and industrial automation.
My core skills & capabilities include:
3D Mechanical Modeling & Assemblies: Complex components, mechanisms (gearboxes, linkages), and structural design.
Motion Analysis & Kinematics: Dynamic motion studies, mechanical linkage validation, collision checking, and motor sizing using SOLIDWORKS Motion.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): External & internal fluid flow analysis, pressure drop evaluation, and aerodynamic optimization (SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation).
Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Static simulation, stress distribution, and factor of safety validation.
Design for Manufacturing & 3D Printing: CAD optimization for FDM 3D printing (Cura), CNC routing, and sheet metal/weldments.
Robotics & Automation Integration: End-effector design, toolpathing, and custom automation scripts (Lua/Python).
I combine engineering rigor with fast CAD execution. Whether you need a 3D model created from scratch, motion/CFD simulation, or manufacturing preparation, I deliver precise, engineering-grade CAD deliverables.
