• Predict the solar panel behavior under high wind and adverse weather conditions.
• Rubber gasket simulation for proper fitting for IP 67 product design.
• Cost and DOE Simulation for Optimization:
• Design of Experiments (DOE) helps optimize parameters (e.g., fasteners, sheet metal thickness).
• Simulate different scenarios to minimize costs while maintaining enough structural strength.
• Drop and Impact Dynamics Explicit Analysis:
• Using LS-Dyna tool, perform the drop analysis of LKVA inverter with packaging, Li-ion Batteries to predict the product failure in such drop, impact or other accidental event.
• Hail Impact analysis of solar panel for ICE-61215 standard certification.
• PCB Mounting Location Optimization:
• Ensure proper PCB mounting to prevent vertical mounted component failures under vibrational condition.
• Simulate solder joints, thermal effects, and mechanical stress on the PCB mounted components.
• Consider factors like vibration, shock, and impact to ensure the inverter withstands transportation stresses.
• RCA analysis for field trial failure:
• Perform RCA for field trial failure of Inverter, batteries or solar panel using FEA and suggest solution to prevent that failure.
• Plastic Part simulation:
• Perform plastic panel simulation, plastic part snap fit joint structural analysis.
• Plastic injection molded part structural analysis for static and dynamics loading conditions to optimize the part thickness and ribs designs.
• Documentation and Support:
• Create and maintain accurate documentation, including design specifications, FEA analysis reports, and vibration, shock and other Mechanical test data.
• Offer technical guidance and support to junior engineers when needed.
• Supplier and Testing laboratories Collaboration:
• Visit and collaborate with suppliers related to material properties, and testing laboratories for different material level testing, vibration, shock or other static or dynamic loading testing and test procedure.
• Continuous Learning:
• Stay updated on industry trends and emerging technologies related to structural solutions and simulation models.
