My day job is "egineer for unique structures". A consultant. I work on a large variety of structures and components. From various materials. Wrestling with various standards - Eurocodes, DNV, ASTM. Applying them for unique problems. Doing a Ph.D. (and a Post Doc) I built an industrial laboratory. With massive hydralic pistons (PID controlled), emectric motors. Designed robot frames. Ran the lab between teaching and passing exams. In the process I've ended up picking my favorite software. Inventor NASTRAN. It seems to be priced fairly. And works pretty well. So, on my spare time I keep expanding my skill set - by doing private orders. I do hope to some day open my own design office. And to do so, I will need to be able to recognize the best talent. Which means I have to know how things work and how to do things correctly - before I ask anyone else for assistance. And as it is, at this day, I'm quite independent already :)
