📍 Houston, Texas (US EPC)
Piping Stress Analysis
CAESAR II
ASME B31.3
High-Pressure Refinery Line Stress Analysis & Nozzle Load Mitigation
Challenge: Excessive thermal expansion on a high-temperature process header causing allowable nozzle load overruns on a critical heat exchanger pump connection.
Execution: Modeled complete 3D piping geometry in CAESAR II, recalculated spring hanger configurations, and re-routed loop offsets without exceeding field space constraints.
Key Impact & Metrics:
• Reduced pump nozzle thermal moment load by 38%.
• Delivered 45+ ISO spool drawings within 8 business days.
• 100% ASME B31.3 code compliance sign-off.
📍 Detroit, Michigan (Automotive Tier-1)
Welding Fixtures
SolidWorks
GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
Robotic BIW Chassis Welding Fixture & Workholding Design
Challenge: Rapid tooling turnaround required for an EV chassis component assembly line with tight GD&T tolerance limits ($\pm 0.2\text{ mm}$).
Execution: Designed pneumatic clamping modules, modular pin locators, and 3D surface CAD models optimized for low-cost CNC machining and rapid operator loading.
Key Impact & Metrics:
• Reduced fixture manufacturing cost by 18% through DFM component optimization.
• Issued complete 2D production drawings with 100% GD&T callouts.
📍 Alberta, Canada (Process Skid)
FEA Simulation
ANSYS Mechanical
AISC 360
Skid Structural Frame Dynamic Load & Seismic FEA Validation
Challenge: Validating a 15-ton modular compressor skid under transport impact dynamics and Canadian seismic building code requirements.
Execution: Conducted static, modal, and non-linear dynamic FEA in ANSYS Mechanical, reinforcing local beam gussets and base plate anchor points.
Key Impact & Metrics:
• Saved 1.2 tons of steel weight through structural optimization.
• Passed dynamic vibration frequency limits to eliminate field resonance risk.
