The SIMULIA 3DEXPERIENCE Composite Structures Performance Engineer (CYE) Role brings end-to-end composite layup designs, material modeling, cut section evaluation – to composite product mesh and assembly, and ultimately composite product performance – to meet or exceed your product minimum weight and high strength requirements – all in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Composite Structures Performance Engineer is comprised of: Structural Performance Engineer (SFO) plus Composites Simulation Engineer extension (former SCI).
Composite structures play a vital role in products for lightweight strength and durability. The Aerospace and Defense industry has led many breakthroughs with composites design in large aircraft, and all future aircraft programs. Composites are predominant in other industries, like boat hulls and sports equipment. And composite materials are ever-increasing in automotive parts, medical products, high tech components, industrial building materials, etc.
To meet these demands and be competitive, manufacturers need to empower their Product Engineering teams with an integrated platform for composite structures design, modeling, and simulation. Dassault Systemes has been a leader in composites design and modeling, starting with its CATIA Composite Design and Manufacturing apps, and SIMULIA Composite enablement app for meshing, modeling, and simulation of CATIA composites designs. To leverage technologies, SIMULIA’s Composite Structures Performance Engineer has been created for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to add the composites capabilities to its one of its flagship roles, Structural Performance Engineer.
Composite Structures Performance Engineer brings a model-based process, seamless collaboration between engineers and project stakeholders, for informed discussions and accelerated product release. Powered by 3DEXPERIENCE platform, composites product engineering is fully design-associative, with cloud modeling and computing options, for product innovation in a next generation virtual engineering environment.
