« Short written test Meshing / Anaiysis test Interview What is expected from meshing /analysis test? il Experienced CAE engineer can evaluaté the performance and efficiency just by sbsering hand movement and the way your ate operating keyboard and mouse, even from a distant place. Submitted meshing job is checked for How much work completed within allotted time Methodolagy followed Mesh flow pattern Pattern around holes, geometrical discontinuities and Joints Mesh quality, free edges / faces, shell normal etc. Whether free-free run or dummy tinear static analysis carried out oe ew Nm Analysis job (ready-made mesh model is provided to the candidate) is checkéd for 1. Whether mesh model was checked properly before starting analysis, 2, How the specified boundary conditions were applied 3. Analysis errors and warning message, and how you tackled it 4, Aftercompletionofrun whethernumerical accuracy checks applied (residuals, convergence test ete) $, Conelusions from the analysis and suggestions for design modification Commonly asked questions (written test paper or during the interview) - FEA theory: 1, -Whatis Finite Element Analysis. 2 What is degree of freedom (dof)?
