Hi everybody,
I need some advise.
I am CAE simulation engineer in automotive field working in a small office of a international consulting company. I do strength simulation in ABAQUS and some NVH topics in NASTRAN and I have almost 4 years experince, since covid started i do home office and i work very independently, directly with client (I receive the information, I do the simulation/report and I present the results). Everybody tells me I am a fast learner, I pick up new things quickly, but still I feel that I miss a more expereinced colleague (7-10 years experince) from who I could learn , to discuss some more difficult topics, convergence issues, etc.Our office and team is small I dont have a this kind of colleage, all I know I have learned in my previous job and my company not really offers courses or opportunities to work on other topics like fatigue or optimization and there are no other companies in my surrounding.
Is there a posibility to find freelance jobs in this field or totaly remote jobs?
Are online courses helping in this case, courses like NAFEMS? Do companies appreciate this kind of courses?
And what is the future of this CAE simulation? I am affraid that strength simulations will not be so in demand in the future due to optimization or generative design.
What will be more popular in the next years in this field like (5-10 yeras)?
Thanks for your help and have a wonderful day!
