Software Engineer Solid Mechanics

The finite element capability is a relatively new extension to the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ multi-physics solver family. The code, traditionally centered on finite volume methods, has been improved over several years to model contact behavior, incorporate shell formulations, and embrace sophisticated constitutive laws for inelastic materials, among other features.What you’ll be doing:Design and development of components for the solid stress finite element solver, such asAdvanced non-linear materialsContact modellingAdvanced finite element technologies for shells, beams and connections/jointsInteraction with other Simcenter STAR-CCM+ teamsWork in large, geographically distributed teamsWhat you’ll bring:Master, PhD or equivalent degree in mechanical/civil engineering, applied math or computer scienceProven experience in modelling non-linear materials, contact mechanics or shells/beams/connectionsProven strong C++ development skillsExperience in large-scale software development and object-oriented programmingDemonstrated knowledge of algorithms and techniques used in finite element simulationsGood working knowledge of finite element solid stress numerical methods...
