Overview

During my internship at Bombardier Recreational Products, I worked within the Predictive Engineering team, contributing to simulation-driven development and vehicle testing across multiple recreational platforms.

My focus was on multibody dynamics, data analysis, and validation of simulation models using physical test data.

Snowmobile Data Analysis & Duty Cycle Optimization

Project Summary: Processed and analyzed large volumes of snowmobile test data to develop representative duty cycles and create accelerated cycles while retaining original usage patterns.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Processed raw vehicle test data using nCode to clean, organize, and standardize datasets.
  • Developed representative duty cycles and optimized them using Altair HyperStudy.
  • Coordinated data analysis with the predictive engineering team to validate simulation models.
