Structural analysis of fuel rig of Leonardo helicopter: (Lone-Wolf) Proactive
F.E. models for the fuel rig consisting of composite and metal parts was generated
using HyperMesh, load cases are determined based on fuel capacity and various Synergy
aircraft attitudes such as pitch, roll, dive, and their combinations.The analysis was Self-motivated
carried out in MSC Nastran, post-processing was performed to check the structural
and fastener margins of safety and buckling instability.
Non-linear analysis of tension-torsion strap of Leonardo helicopter:(Lone-Wolf)
FE models of metallic T.T. strap was generated using HyperMesh, load cases were Language Skills
assessed based on the rotor blade attitudes and analyzed for contact and geometry
non-linearity for large displacements in MSC Nastran.

Static structural analysis of Ground Support Equipment: (Lone-Wolf)
F.E. models of metallic beam structures of G.S.E was generated using HyperMesh. Reading, Writing and Speaking
Load cases were assessed based on B.S.I. requirements. Analysis was carried out in NX
Nastran and post-processing was conducted for structural strength and instability. English
Structural analysis and optimization of composite primary structures of Marenco
Swiss helicopter: (Team player)
F.E. models for the composite structures were generated and integrated using
HyperMesh. Load cases and B.C. were applied based in customer provided data. The Portuguese
analysis was performed using OptiStruct to estimate structural strength, composite
margins of safety and reserve factor, the analysis reports were drafted based on client Reading, Writing and Speaking
requested standards.
