Mechanical Engineering.CAE Pre-processing.FEA Meshing.

I prepare finite element models and meshes for durability analyses in the automotive industry, from clean geometry in HyperMesh to a simulation-ready model.

01 · About me

I'm in the final stage of a Mechanical Engineering degree at UNIFEG and, since May 2025, I've been working with CAE at TC Projetos, preparing finite element models for major automotive brands. My focus is pre-processing: cleaning up geometry, building 2D/3D meshes in Altair HyperMesh and making sure every element meets quality standards. On weekends, engineering gives way to the keyboard: web development, digital products and personal projects, with the same rigor I learned to demand from a mesh.

02 · Process

The same path applies to a mechanical part and to software. Drag the control (or the crystal itself) and follow each stage.

01 · Idea

It all starts with a sketch

A real problem, a notebook and lots of questions. The points are still loose: time to understand what needs to exist.

  • Sketching
  • Requirements
  • Research

03 · Mesh Quality

In pre-processing, every element goes through quality checks before reaching the simulation. One of the nodes is misplaced: drag the inner nodes (or use the arrow keys) and watch the criteria react.
