About the Job

Requirements

  • The candidate must be a student at a general engineering school.
  • The candidate must be autonomous and motivated, with good proficiency in Python.
  • Knowledge of civil engineering, finite element modeling, and/or BIM is desirable.
  • Proficiency in C or C# is desirable.
  • Scientific curiosity, rigor, and the ability to propose and evaluate solutions are required.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze published methods and project experience to propose a reproducible, generalizable conversion approach, explicitly stating its assumptions, scope, and limitations.
  • Conduct a literature review of BIM–finite element interoperability, IFC exchanges, geometric idealization, and connection reconstruction; compare approaches and identify challenges to address.
  • Compare the state of the art with project cases, formulate generalizable conversion rules, and justify modeling choices. Develop algorithms, participate in code reviews, and document methods.
  • Study access to data from Navisworks and available exchange formats; propose, implement, and test a conversion method suited to the information actually accessible.
  • Verify and validate the method using reference cases and increasingly complex nuclear buildings. Check geometry, connections, and transferred properties; compare relevant mechanical responses such as displacements, forces, or natural frequencies; analyze discrepancies and specify validity limits.

Desired Qualifications

  • Internal training on the software used and monthly supervision by a tutor are provided; weekly departmental meetings support discussion of progress, proposals, and challenges.
