My cooperation with the industry started from an engineering degree project that I carried out in cooperation with Tenneco Automotive in Gliwice. The combination of knowledge gained from studies (mechanics, materials science and strength of materials) along with access to advanced software allowed me to realize a project that has been completed successfully and is in use in Tenneco right now. After completing my engineer degree, I was offered a job from Tenneco. Thanks to the flexible working hours and the goodwill of my lecturers, I was able to study mechanical engineering full-time (specialization: computer aided engineering) while working on a part-time basis. My master thesis project was realized again in collaboration with Tenneco. Knowledge of the theory of plasticity and finite element method acquired in the course of the masters studies has proven invaluable. After completing my thesis I was offered a full-time job at Tenneco. As a part of my job I deal mainly with: numerical modeling of shock absorbers (mainly MacPherson struts) and their components in HyperMesh and Abaqus/CAE, creating static and quasi-static shock validation analysis fin Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit, fatigue analysis based on FEM numerical simulation results in nCode, in addition: metal forming analysis, reverse engineering (Isight), optimization (Tosca) and development of experimental methods for the identification of material data. My work is performed for (and cooperation with) the majority of car brands available on our market, like Ford, VW, BMW, JLR, Mercedes, PSA, Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Scania, etc.
Master's studies at the Institute of Computational Mechanics and Engineering enabled me to work in IBS Poland in Gliwice. The company is dedicated to providing complete PLM (Product Life Management) systems and the engineering and programming services. We are accredited supplier of Dassault Systems solutions (mostly CATIA and ENOVIA) and a certified training center. I am employed in the department of computer science and implementations on the position of Junior PLM Systems Specialist. In my work I am responsible for technical support and contact with Dassault Systems regarding licensing. Thanks to the dynamic growth of the Company, every day I can learn something new, which provides continous development. Knowledge gained from my specialization Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronics Systems helps me with comprehensive understanding of PLM issues, with which I deal every day.
I work for Gestamp Polska which is part of Gestamp Group. Gestamp is an international company dedicated to the design, development and manufacture metal automotive components. The Group specializes in developing innovatively designed products to achieve increasingly safer and lighter vehicles, thereby reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. Together with scientists from Poznan University of Technology I work on project which main goal is to create and implement integrated system which will assure stability of multi-operational sheet metal stamping for automotive industry. System uses advanced optical measuring system and numerical calculations based on FEM. Knowledge that I gained at Institute of Computational Mechanics and Engineering allows me to take up all challenges in my daily work.
The MESco company deals with the implementation of modern computing systems in the industry. These systems allow to prepare the computer simulation of almost all physical phenomena occurring in reality. In addition, the company performs computer simulations ordered by the industry, provides training and participates in European programs. Masters and doctoral graduate programs, held at the Institute of Computational Mechanics and Engineering , have equipped me in-depth knowledge in order to understand and use commercial software based on the Finite Element Method. In addition, working with students and developing teaching abilities allows me to be well prepared to lead the courses which organizes our company.
I work in General Electric Engineering Design Center in Warsaw (HPT Military Department), in team dealing with the rotating high pressure turbine jet engine - CF6 (Boeing 747, Airbus A330). Together with the team we investigate issues such as fatigue, strength and geometric optimization of the components. We are in constant cooperation with a branch in the United States, drawing on their many years of experience at every step we learn something new. We also cooperate with other units centers around the globe, which makes an opportunity for us to make new contacts. I constantly deal with knowledge largely gained during my study in ICME, mainly strength of materials, numerical methods, optimiaztion techniques, etc. Both, theoretical knowledge learned in lectures and practical skills in the use of engineering software give me big advantage at my work.
I work for Tecosim, one of the biggest CAE Partner in Germany, which covers technology sectors like automotive, energy and health. Tecosim provides innovative CAE solutions for numerous well-known customers, like Audi, AMG, Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche and many more. My daily work is to support Brakes NVH department at Ford, responsible for development of brake systems in terms of noise elimination. My main duty is to perform a squeal and moan CAE analysis using Abaqus solver. I am responsible for material validation of particular components, build up the CAE model of a whole brake system, perform a correlation to real-life tests and propose a design changes. The studies at Institute of Computational Mechanics and Engineering gave me a wide knowledge, which I have been able to use and develop in my professional role.
