About

Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I like the full arc: a model, a simulation, a machined part, and a number at the end that says whether it worked.

  • Now

    CFD and flow simulation research in Prof. Jean-Pierre Hickey's MPI Lab, through the President's Research Award.

  • Last co-op

    TK Modular Systems, Oakville. Process skids in PTC Creo and 450+ drawings released through Windchill.

  • Aiming at

    Large scale energy and process systems, where simulation and hardware have to agree.

Contact

Open to co-op roles in mechanical design and simulation in energy, automotive, or aerospace industries

Torsional Stiffness Number

Torsional stiffness is not read directly out of ANSYS. It is derived from vertical displacement at four probe nodes, converted to a twist angle, then divided into the applied moment. Here is the exact path from raw output to the final number.
