Number: MER00049W7 We are responsible for the development and optimization of structural components using modern calculation and simulation methods. This includes the implementation of structural analyses with the finite element method, the optimization of components under different load scenarios and the development of innovative lightweight construction concepts. We also deal with the integration of manufacturing edge conditions and the further development of digital engineering methods. For this challenging, challenging and exciting task, we are looking for you as a student for Master's thesis Future Digital Engineering with a focus on lightweight construction, optimization and structural simulation. These challenges come to you, among other things: Introduction to existing FE models and their further development to improve model quality Development of scripts for evaluating FE calculations using Python or MATLAB Active participation in carrying out FE calculations and optimizations for quasi-static and dynamic analyses Integration of advanced manufacturing edge conditions in optimization calculations for the realistic simulation of components Enlargement of expertise through insights into adjacent areas of expertise and cooperation in interdisciplinary projects We offer: Insights into current developments in vehicle technology and digital engineering methods Working with demanding projects with direct reference to future vehicle concepts Application of state-of-the-art simulation, optimization and calculation methods Cooperation in an international and interdisciplinary working environment Possibility of further professional and personal development Access to modern technologies and tools in the field of virtual product development The activity can begin from January 2027. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
