About this role
Company Description
AFRY provides engineering, design, digital and advisory services. We are devoted experts in industry, energy and infrastructure sectors, creating impact for generations to come. AFRY has Nordic roots with a global reach. Join us in accelerating the transition towards a sustainable society.
Job Description
AFRY Technical Analysis is the largest consulting CAE-department in Sweden, with extensive experience within structural and fluid mechanics from a wide range of clients in several industries. We are deeply involved in many interesting projects, both national and international, and provide our clients with market leading CAE-competence.
This master thesis will be a collaboration between AFRY and AFRYs clients within automotive, defense or Life Science. The student will develop new methodology, with respect to structural analysis and FEA, to facilitate more efficient product development for AFRYs clients. The results can pave the way for new modelling guidelines (calibrated against test data), a more efficient way of working and increased simulations accuracy.
FEA tools such as ANSA, HYPERMESH, ABAQUS and LS-Dyna will be used with MATLAB and Phyton as a complement for post-processing and automatization. Analytical calculations are performed mainly to verify the analysis models and results.
