About

I am an Aerospace Engineer specialising in Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), finite element analysis (FEA), and structural simulation.

My professional experience includes finite element model preparation, component meshing, structural analysis, and design optimisation. I have worked with HyperMesh and MSC Nastran on aerospace-related structural engineering tasks and developed Python tools to support engineering post-processing.

Services I can provide:
• Finite element meshing and model preparation
• CAD geometry cleanup and FE idealisation
• Linear static structural analysis
• Normal mode and eigenvalue buckling analysis
• Mesh convergence and sensitivity studies
• Structural weight optimisation support
• FEA post-processing and technical reporting

Software: Altair HyperMesh, MSC Nastran, MSC Patran, HyperView, CATIA V5, Python

My independent portfolio demonstrates practical workflows in bracket analysis, mounting-plate structural and modal assessment, buckling studies, and UAV assembly-level structural validation.

I focus on clear assumptions, careful model checks, technically sound results, and organised deliverables. Project scope, inputs and expected outputs are agreed with each client before work begins.

Portfolio

Experience

CAE ENGINEER MomentuX Systems · Full-time Nov 2025 – Aug 2026 9 mos Bangalore, Karnataka, India Developed 2D and 3D finite element meshes for 30 aircraft wing ribs and two 10 m-long spars using HyperMesh for aerospace structural analysis.

Performed linear static, normal mode and linear buckling analyses using MSC NASTRAN/PATRAN (SOL 101, SOL 103 and SOL 105), supporting structural strength, stiffness and stability assessments.

Supported flutter and discrete gust analyses using SOL 145 and SOL 146 to evaluate aeroelastic behaviour.

Contributed to aircraft wing and boom structural weight optimisation, achieving approximately 17% weight reduction in the wing and 24% in the boom.

Developed Python-based tools for CAE post-processing and optimisation workflows, and automated engineering tasks to improve analysis efficiency.
