Intern Structural Engineer - Automated 3D Modelling and Engineering Data Extraction

Purpose

The objective of this internship is to develop an integrated approach for the automated generation and exploitation of 3D models of floating offshore wind structures. The work will build on lessons learned from existing models to develop a more robust and parametric modelling methodology, including links with Hydrodynamic models. The 3D model, built on 3DExperience platform, will be used as a central source for automated engineering reporting and data extraction.

4 to 6 months internship contract, Monaco based. Responsibilities

• Develop an integrated approach for the automated generation and exploitation of 3D models of floating offshore wind structures.
• Develop a more robust and parametric modelling methodology based on lessons learned from existing models.
• Develop links between structural 3D models and Hydrodynamic models.
• Use the 3D model as a central source for automated engineering reporting and data extraction.
