Geralf P.
Senior FEA Engineer | Abaqus/ANSYS, Structural, Thermal & CFD Analysis
I help engineering teams prevent costly design failures before manufacturing through accurate FEA/CAE simulation and clear technical reporting. Using Abaqus, ANSYS, SolidWorks, MATLAB, and Python, I support structural, thermal, nonlinear, dynamic, failure, and CFD-related engineering projects with a practical, decision-oriented approach. Why clients work with me: • 20+ years of engineering experience • 100% Job Success on Upwork • 700+ Upwork hours • Strong background in numerical modeling, mechanical engineering, drilling, cementing, and geomechanics • Clear reports with conclusions and recommendations — not just screenshots Core services: • Static and structural FEA • Nonlinear contact and large deformation analysis • Thermal and thermo-mechanical simulation • Modal, vibration, fatigue, and transient analysis • Crack, failure, and fitness-for-service evaluation • CFD support for pressure, flow, and performance optimization • Engineering reports for design validation and troubleshooting Software: Abaqus Standard / Explicit | ANSYS Mechanical, Fluent, CFX | SolidWorks | MATLAB | Python | API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 My focus is not only on running the model but also on helping you understand what the results mean, what risks exist, and what design decisions should come next. Send me your model, drawings, loads, boundary conditions, or technical challenge, and I will help you define the best simulation approach.
