University of Twente is looking for a PDEng trainee to design a new web interface (app) for this software. The software should allow industrial users to run, visualise, and analyse simulations, and thus to test and optimise their machinery in a virtual environment instead of using costly and time-consuming physical prototypes.
You will learn how to develop virtual prototypes (computational models) of large-scale processes, including how to calibrate material models, transfer physical designs into a virtual environment (geometry, in- and outflow, material and surface characteristics, control), and how to analyse simulation data and compare it with macroscopic measurements. You will become familiar with optimising machinery design (setup parameterisation, design of experiments and optimisation techniques). On the programming side, you will learn how to develop a user-friendly and easily extendable interface for complex scientific applications. We will provide you with a robust scientific training and exposure to both academic and business environments. This will equip you with the multidisciplinary and transferable skills needed to develop high-level, creative software for designing and optimising complex industrial processes.
Experience in (web) programming, such as PHP, Javascript, Java, MySQL, CSS, HTML5, C++, Python, etc would be useful. However, no experience in web programming is required; only a willingness to learn.
