Gabriel A.
Mechanical Engineer | Structural Analysis & Design | SolidWorks
I am a Mechanical Engineer (Universidad de Los Andes) specializing in 3D CAD modeling, FEA structural analysis, and fluid thermal system design. I help clients turn complex engineering challenges into production-ready, highly safe, and optimized mechanical components. Core Areas of Expertise & Project Highlights: • Structural & FEA Analysis (ANSYS Workbench & SolidWorks Simulation): 35-Ton Aggregate Hopper / Silo: Modeled structural profiles, calculated hydrostatic pressure distribution, evaluated stress concentrations, mesh convergence, and fatigue limits to ensure full structural integrity. High-Pressure Reactor Vessel (40,000 PSI): Conducted complete 3D CAD modeling and non-linear stress analysis, evaluating Stub ACME thread engagement and HF-6 high-pressure connections. • Aeronautical & Complex Systems Design: Rotax 912 Test Bench Lead Designer: Engineered complete test-bench systems for a leading aeronautical maintenance enterprise, including the engine mount structure, power transmission/braking system, sensor integration, test cell ventilation, and cooling loops. • Fluid Systems & Piping: Complete pump sizing, head loss calculations, and fluid flow dynamics for industrial and piping infrastructure. Software & Technical Stack: • CAD / Drafting: SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD (2D/3D) • CAE / Simulation: ANSYS Workbench (Static Structural, Fatigue, Fluent) • Automation & Scripts: Python for engineering calculations and workflow automation Communication & Global Delivery: • Fluent C1 English: Clear, direct, and effective communication with international teams and clients across technical deliverables, progress reporting, and documentation. Whether you need a full FEA safety audit, detailed manufacturing drawings, or high-stakes mechanical product development, let's connect to discuss your project requirements!
