  Automotive Engineering Design

  Jun 2009 - Jul 2009

  Internee

  Worked for 6 weeks in the summer of 2009 on an on-going project of 3D modeling of a rock crusher. My job was to model some parts of the main frame of the machine and some of its sub-assemblies including the rotor sub-assembly; using Autodesk Inventor. I also generated final manufacturing drawings of these parts and sub-assemblies. Later I worked on ANSYS for the static analysis of structural members under load.
