Intern Structural Engineer - Automated 3D Modelling and Data Extraction

About the role

This internship aims to develop an integrated approach for the automated generation and use of 3D models of floating offshore wind structures. It builds on lessons learned from existing models to create a more robust, parametric modelling methodology linked to hydrodynamic models. The 3D model, built on the 3DExperience platform, will serve as a central source for automated engineering reporting and data extraction. The internship lasts 4 to 6 months and is based in Monaco.

Key responsibilities

• Develop an integrated approach for the automated generation and exploitation of 3D models of floating offshore wind structures.
• Develop a more robust, 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.
• Develop an automated Bill of Quantities (BoQ), with consistent coding and automatic quantity updates after design changes.
• Develop corrosion-protection solutions, including automatic extraction of painted surfaces, cathodic protection areas and tank volumes.
• Develop methods for automatically assessing welding lengths and volumes from structural geometry and modelling rules.
• Support the creation of a welding map for fabrication and cost assessment.
• Investigate model-checking and visualization features, such as identification by plate thickness or material grade.
• Contribute to making the 3D model a digital engineering backbone, improving consistency between design disciplines and speeding up design iterations.

Required profile

• Master's degree in Engineering or equivalent.
• Interest in 3D modelling, automation and programming.
• Interest in offshore wind structures and digital engineering solutions.
• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• Fluent English.
