Our team at the BMW Group is dedicated to advancing data-based material modelling for innovative vehicle development. We focus on integrating new material models into full-vehicle simulations and offer you the opportunity to support our simulation experts in the field of battery-powered vehicles with your thesis.
What awaits you?
- You will support the implementation of a data-based material model based on microstructure models.
- Furthermore, you help to create an LS-Dyna user material for polymer foams.
- In addition, you contribute to the comparison and correlation of test and simulation results.
- Moreover, you will gain insight into the process setup for introducing data-based material models in LS-Dyna for complete vehicle simulation.
- You will receive excellent scientific support and be part of our motivated, cross-functional team.
Please note that your thesis must be supervised by a university on your part.
What should you bring along?
- Studies in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or a comparable field.
- Deep understanding of the finite element method, ideally with LS-Dyna experience.
- Ideally, knowledge in data-driven material models.
- Programming skills in Python or Matlab.
- Courage and motivation to contribute your own ideas and explore new paths.
- Enjoyment of supporting an international team.
- Very good English skills; proficiency in German is a plus.
