I work with our customers to achieve high fidelity model-based systems simulations that drastically reduce development cost and time to market for their products. Centered around Altair MotionSolve, I focus on integrating multibody dynamics with several of our other modeling platforms for true system-of-systems simulations. These include:- Altair Activate (Block diagram modeling for multi-disciplinary system simulation)- Altair EDEM (high-performance bulk and granular material simulation)- Altair Compose (multi-language environment for CAE data processing and visualization)- Altair Inspire (Structural and dynamic design and analysis)I engage with customers and provide engineering services in a wide range of industries:- Electric and Traditional Automotive- Aerospace- Robotics- Farming and Heavy Equipment- Industrial Machinery- Consumer Electronics

I support clients using the following Altair simulation tools:MotionView/MotionSolve - Multi-body system simulationCompose - Mathematical modelingActivate - 1-D systems and controls modelingEDEM - Bulk material and soil modelingEmbed - Embedded systems development
