Technical Skills
Computer programs:
Matlab, C++, Fortran90, Mathematica, AutoCAD, Solid Works, ANSYS, Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Access)
ANSYS was used extensively during my research. ANSYS Parametric Design Language was used for structural analysis, heat transfer, contact analysis, electrostatic force modeling and coupled multi-physics analysis. ANSYS was used to develop a coupled multi-physics full model of my Aluminum test platform, modeling heat transfer, modeling contact behavior of grippers and modeling electrostatic forces in advanced support post design.
