- Placed in charge of designing and implementing a CATIA-based tool to create a parametric fuselage barrel model and corresponding finite element mesh in order to predict the structural weight of a proposed fuselage configuration more conveniently and accurately than the existing method. This tool was presented to the larger Preliminary Design department and is expected to remain in use on current and future projects at Gulfstream.- Independently learned to use more advanced CATIA fucntions as well as the internal scripting language within CATIA (Engineering Knowledge Language).- Additionally facilitated the setup and troubleshooting of the ASMI department’s MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printer which is to be utilized for the creation of scale models of proposed aircraft configurations for demonstration and testing purposes.
