Company

C3M stands for Centre for Computational Continuum Mechanics. It is a high-tech company specialised in the development of customised numerical solutions based on finite element method (FEM). These solutions are used in inverse modelling, sensitivity analyses and optimisation for Multi-field, Multi-scale, Multi-body, Multi-phase and Multi-objective (M5) problems. C3M has an advanced software development strategy that is based on a symbolic approach to automatic code generation, allowing solutions to be developed for a wide range of industrial and scientific problems.
The company was established in 1992 and in the first decade was focused mainly on numerical analyses of material forming technologies. However, systematic long-term development of M5 solution strategies put the company into a favourable position to extend their business to other high-tech applications in biomechanics, image processing, aerospace, chemical engineering, pharmaceutics and food industry.

Products

C3M has developed some custom made applications that allow the users to have advanced technology available (numerical simulations, image processing, mathematical optimisation), if they are experts in that field or not.

Solutions

C3M is a provider of customized numerical modelling solutions, mainly based on finite element method. C3M uses an advanced solution environment, consisting of symbolic system for automatic code generation AceGen and finite element environment AceFEM. Both are implemented as packages in Wolfram Mathematica, which also provides rich capabilities for visualization, user interfaces and mathematical optimisation. Such an integrated environment, where the model code is generated, tested and applied can provide significant improvements of the development process. In the following graphic portfolio you can find some of the solutions developed during research and industrial projects C3M participated in.

Jobs

C3M offers the following position, starting from November 1st, 2021 and limited for 16 months:

Early stage researcher (THREAD ESR 12)

on the Marie Curie ITN funded project “ Nonlinear dynamics response with nonlinear constitutive material models ” (full-time employment) The position is offered within the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks in the project “Joint Training on Numerical Modelling of Highly Flexible Structures for Industrial Applications [THREAD]”. The salary of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks Fellowship (MSCA-ITN) follows the regulations set by the European Commission. The salary will include social security and will be composed of living, mobility and family allowances, where applicable, as outlined in the Grant Agreement and Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Work Programme

ESR 12: Nonlinear dynamics response with nonlinear constitutive material models

Objectives: ESR will focus on nonlinear material models and their implementation in nonlinear dynamics within numerical analyses of deployable beam structures for space applications. The ESR will be trained to apply modern techniques for automatic differentiation in development of constitutive material models using symbolic approach that allows deriving accurate and efficient finite element (FE) routines including sensitivities with respect to the wide range of model parameters.

Expected Results: The results will have an impact on a wide variety of advanced space missions utilising deployable precision pointing antennas, solar sails, slender mechanisms for space debris removal and other deployable structures which must be compactly packaged for the limited size of launch vehicles and then expanded automatically in orbit. An optimal design of deployable structures is obtained from appropriate numerical models that assess the dynamic responses to vibrational loads during launch as well as their mechanical behavior in space and the large geometric transformations.

Project specific requirements (additional to the Eligibility Criteria):
• MSc in Physics, Engineering, Computational physics, Computational engineering or related fields is preferred (all backgrounds are welcome to apply)
• Experience in finite element method is highly desirable.
• Experience in symbolic algebraic systems (Wolfram Mathematica, etc…) is preferred.
• Computer programming skills are favored.
• High standard of spoken and written English.

Host: C3M d.o.o. - Centre for Computational Continuum Mechanics, Ljubljana (Slovenia)
