Simulation Engineer specialized in FEM simulations, creative design and engineering stress analysis. ANSYS simulation experienced leader and ANSYS coach. Expert in numerical methods and ANSYS ACT / APDL programming with strong background in Python. Experienced leader, highly motivated and goal-oriented individual. Open to new products and constantly looking for new faster and more efficient solutions. Cooking, travel and cycling passionate. Currently, my biggest project is building a real-time, terabyte-scale simulation database with custom processing capabilities, based on ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, and VTK. The goal is to make simulation post-processing, model comparison, and automated reporting significantly easier and faster. In the future, the platform will also support ML/AI workflows and digital twin development. Constantly thinking about and deploying AI tools into day-to-day work in Engineering. Technology geek with a focus on AI, HPC hardware, coding agents. Successfully conducted series of AI/coding agents trainings. Areas of Expertise: • Power user of coding agents, vibe coding, AI tools • ANSYS Workbench • ANSYS Classic • ANSYS ACT/APDL custom tools developer • Python developer • FEA teacher • Structural / Thermal analyses • Static / Transient analyses • Assembly analysis • NX (CAD / CAE (mesh for FEA)) • Freeform / Solid modeling • Reverse Engineering • HPC hardware definition
Simulations and Advanced Methods team member. - 9 months long Leadership Program training graduate. Talent development journey conducted by NOVATURIA - Focal point for AI tools for automation in Engineering - I'm a go-to person when it comes to hardware choices - PC, workstations, HPC hardware/architecture - Currently, I'm building an AI/ML-powered simulation database. By integrating terabytes of past results, thousands of txt and csv files, images, graphs, and criteria, the goal is to drive better future products and build even deeper understanding. Balancing this complex architecture alongside my primary FEA projects is challenging, but incredibly rewarding. Software stack: Clickhouse + postgres + VTK + tens of TB of data. :) Goal? Easy postprocessing, model comparison and automatic reporting. In the future: ML/AI/digital twin dev. - I rewrote most of automation with performance as a primary goal - I achieved 50-98% boost. Scripts that were running 30-40 min, now run ~30 sec. :) - I love figuring out new ways to do common things - exploratory task are my favorite. Regardless of a task - office work, presentations, simulations, methodology, approach - Introduction AI tools to all team members, conducting trainings and showcases - Implementing AI tools for automation - Full spectrum of static and thermal FEM simulations in ANSYS focusing on core engine components - Coupled solver transient simulations with plasticity - Explicit FEA - ANSYS APDL scripting - Ansys Workbench ACT scripting - Tools developer for Ansys Classic and Workbench - Development of new tools (outside ANSYS environment) in Python 3.x - Correlating a test/experimental data and field data with custom models and new engineering methods - Introduction and creation of new tools, best practices and design templates - Performing all kinds of simulation needed to deliver high quality mechanical integrity assessment
