Mechanical Engineering Internship: Investigating SimSolid Modelling Parameters

Introduction

The Computational Analysis and Digital Engineering group is responsible for precision engineering of critical modules and for general mechanical analysis. One of our challenges is modelling of basic structural assemblies. These assemblies typically have a lot of components which are welded or bolted together. The lead time for creating a model of such an assembly with a conventional FE tool is quite long. Preparation of the CAD, meshing of all components and modeling the connections is a time-consuming process.

Your Assignment

The goal of your internship is to study how accurate the predictions from SimSolid are compared to a traditional FE calculation, keeping the lessons learned from a previous internship in mind. After that, an evaluation of the mechanical performance will be conducted by comparing stresses and displacements.

Your assignment will focus on:

  • Making a SimSolid model of a structural assembly (welded/bolted structures and typically a lot of components) and comparing the results to the results from existing FE models.
  • Investigating and explaining the differences found (between traditional FE and SimSolid) the SimSolid modelling parameters need to be varied (sensitivity study).
  • Documenting the results in a clear way and writing a 'how to' on setting up such a model in SimSolid.

This is an apprentice internship (to gain work experience) for approximately 3 months with a possible extension of 1 or 2 months. The start date is flexible (latest starting date Sept '25).

Your Profile

To be a perfect fit for this assignment, you:

  • Have a background in Mechanical Engineering, or Biomedical, Aerospace and Civil engineering;
  • Have basic knowledge of mechanics and dynamics;
  • Have basic knowledge of FE modelling (preferred);
  • Have good communication skills;
  • Have strong analytical abilities and a proactive hands-on attitude.

Other requirements you need to meet:

  • You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;
  • You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you’re currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.
  • If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
