We were honored to have Paul Jermihov from TriMech present at the SIMULIA Americas Users Conference, May 3-4, 2023 in Novi, Michigan.

Abstract: Automated design of laser cut delivery shafts (hypotubes) employing non-linear finite element analyses. Optimal cut patterns reach shaft performance targets and control manufacturing cost. As a predictive modeling technique, the proposed workflow can accommodate a diverse range of device requirements and reduce the burden of physical testing. This method reduces development time and facilitates introduction of new devices aiding in market capture.

Bio: Paul Jermihov is from Edina, Minnesota.  He has his BS in biomedical engineering from Michigan Tech, MS and PhD in biomedical engineering from the the University of Iowa. In graduate school, he focused on computational mechanics working on FEA, CFD & FSI codes with application to patient specific aortic heart valve mechanics. Out of graduate school, he worked for SIMULIA in the Dearborn office as a Solution Consultant doing a mixture of project work, support, training and account management. After he worked in R&D at Medtronic, building advanced mechanical FEA analyses. Now a Senior Solution Consultant at TriMech. Market segments where Paul has the most experience includes life sciences, transportation & mobility and consumer goods. In addition to advanced knowledge of Abaqus Implicit/Explicit, Paul enjoys using Tosca to deliver optimized design proposals pushing the limits of what is possible. When not working, Paul enjoys going to the beach, golfing, surfing and camping.
