Integrated Design and Manufacturing Models with Metrology, sponsored by DARPA, led by Rolls-Royce, 2016 − 2017Developed automatic named selection of IGES geometry models of scanned turbine blades and creation of NX PRT models for subsequent structural analyses. (Python)Developed digital inspection methods to calculate/estimate the difference between the turbine blade design CAD model and the scanned ones. (Python)Developed scripts to automate the FEM analyses on the turbine blades using Ansys WorkBench, DesignModeler and Mechanical. (Python)2. Initiative Project of Virtual Experimentation, sponsored by Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012 − 2016As the team leader.Conducted integration and application of a 3D aircraft analyses and design toolset based on Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), including high fidelity CFD (FUN3D) and structural CSD/FEM (CalculiX). (Python and Fortran)All steps of FSI are integrated together and automated, including geometry and mesh generation for CFD and CSD/FEM models, CFD load extraction, load mapping, CSD/FEM displacement extracting and displacement mapping.For CSD/FEM geometry of a wing, structural elements include upper and lower skins, spars and ribs; for a fuselage, structural elements include skins, frames and connection frames with a wing center box.
