Objective

To pursue a career in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on CAD, FEM using Object Oriented Design-Analysis principles.

Profile

• Strong background in Solid Modeling Programming.
• Experience in Design and Implementation of Object Oriented Systems.
• Implementations in programming languages like C and C++.

Projects

• Working in Simulation area of IDEAS on a Project called Midsurface. Involves working in Geometry, Topology of IDEAS Solid modeler. Programming is in C++.
• Involved in development of a Force Distribution program for Joints at Panels in Box like structures used in Galleys of Aircraft. It needed development of core algorithms and was implemented in C++.
• Simulation problem for cryogenic process plant for Helium at subzero temperatures. Involved modeling of a iterative solver in Matlab and capability to input plant layout graphically using Simulink. Implementation was done by using OO principles.
• Ported Network file Server used for Pro/Intralink to various platforms including WinNT, HP, DecAlpha.
• Implemented GUI for Oracle database Back end for Pro/Intralink in an in-house language similar to Java.
• Designed & implemented a Feature based system in C++ with Motif Graphical User Interface for sheet metal layout design with capabilities of creation, editing and geometrical transformations.
• Developed a 3-D Solid Modeler using Boundary Representation. This system is capable of generating & manipulating solid primitives like Cubes, Cylinders etc. Graphics programming is done with PHIGS.
• Simulated discrete event manufacturing systems using SIMAN in an environment of ARENA.
• Developed Finite Elements package for Linear and non-Linear analysis of second order boundary value problems in the Object Oriented way using C++.
• Concurrent programming for solving process synchronization problems in UNIX (Solaris 2.4).
• Stress Analysis of automotive components by the method of Finite Elements using Nastran.

Experience
