FEA Meshing Engineer
Net2Source (N2S)Houston, TX, United States7 days ago
Job type
- Full-time
Job description4–6 years of experience in FEA pre-processing and meshing for structural components. Experience with complex geometries, geometric cleanup, mid-surfacing, contact definition, and load / boundary condition setup. Familiarity with metal, sheet metal, plastic, and rubber materials and corresponding FEA material models. Experience in structural, fatigue, vibration, and buckling analyses is a plus. Prior experience in marine or oshore vessel structures (support vessels, tugs, pushers, barges) preferred. Handle complex CAD data from SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, CATIA, or NX — including cleanup, defeaturing, and assembly management. Generate high-quality finite element meshes (1D, 2D, and 3D) for structural and thermal analyses. Perform mid-surface extraction and shell / solid meshing for diverse component types. Ensure mesh quality compliance (aspect ratio, skewness, connectivity) and solver compatibility. Define materials, thicknesses, and connections (bolts, welds, adhesives). Apply loads, constraints, and boundary conditions to replicate physical behavior. Debug and validate models to ensure convergence and solver readiness. Simulation Support & Collaboration Work with analysis engineers to set up and execute FEA simulations using commercial solvers (Abaqus, ANSYS, Nastran, etc.). Post-process simulation results and support engineers in interpreting FEA outputs. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Testing, Manufacturing) to integrate simulation insights into product development. Document meshing processes, model standards, and best practices. Process Improvement & Automation Develop and use Python / TCL scripts to automate repetitive meshing and model setup tasks. Support continuous improvement in CAE workflows, templates, and automation. Participate in methodology development for diverse structural domains (marine, mechanical, industrial). Strong fundamentals in Machine Design, Engineering Mechanics, and Strength of Materials. Deep understanding of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) principles and continuum mechanics. Proficiency in meshing tools : Altair HyperMesh, ANSA, ANSYS Meshing, or Patran or Nastran, LS-PrePost Exposure with FEA types : Static, Modal, Dynamic (Transient, Harmonic, Random), Buckling, and Hydro-dynamic analyses. Familiarity with global design standards related to structural and oshore applications. Good understanding of structural reliability concepts is a plus. Excellent communication and documentation skills (oral and written). Team-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving. Strong visualization and interpretation skills for drawings and technical data. Quick learner with adaptability to new tools, methods, and project needs. Commitment to first-time quality and on-time delivery of projects.
