Finite element analysis of displacement on an 24 ft aluminum ladder with a 180 lb person on the top rung. This analysis was done on CATIA V5.
This method used tetrahedral meshing with global size of 1.34 in per element and absolute sag of 0.622 in.

CATIA Electrical Harness

This is and electrical harness created in CATIA. It was made by using the Electrical Harness Assembly and Flattening workbenches.
The harness is composed of:
-GPS unit (top)
-PS-5a Connectors (bottom left and middle)
-Processing unit/fuse/diode (center)
-Switch (right)


The harness was then converted into a 2D drawing for easy assembly. 

E-mail me if you would like instructions on how to make these.

Supersonic Nozzle

By using the method of characteristics (a method used to solve hyperbolic partial differential equations),
Characteristic lines were found and plotted in Matlab for both a 15° conical and minimum length nozzles.
Temperature and pressure were also plotted
