What Does a Structural Design Engineer Do?

Responsible for the structural design affairs of the building, coordinate and handle design changes and design docking in time;

Structural Design Engineer

Education and training: Bachelor degree or above, majors in structure, civil engineering, construction, etc. Certified Structural Engineer Certificate.

Work experience: Has rich construction site work experience, has the ability to respond to emergencies on-site; proficient in related structural design software; has a strong team spirit, and works conscientiously and responsible.

The national average monthly salary is 6,000 yuan, and the floating range is between 3,000 and 9,000 yuan.

The registered structural engineer is divided into a registered structural engineer and a registered structural engineer. Registered structural engineer refers to professional and technical personnel who pass the national unified examination, register according to law, obtain the qualification certificate and registration certificate of registered structural engineer of the People's Republic of China, and are engaged in engineering design and related business of bridge structures and tower structures. As senior talents, structural design engineers have always been scarce talents. He has a good working environment, good benefits, and many training and career development opportunities. ^[1]

description

Product structural design refers to the internal structure design work performed by the structural design engineer according to the product function during the product development process. The product structural design work includes the division of parts according to the appearance model, the determination of the fixing method of each component, and the design of product use. And the realization of motion functions, determining the materials used for each part of the product and surface treatment technology, etc., product structure design is one of the basic contents of mechanical design, but also the most time-consuming part of the design process. It plays a very important role in the product formation process.

If the design process is regarded as a data processing process, taking a part as an example, the design of working ability only provides people with extremely limited data, although this small amount of data is important for the design, and the final geometry of the part, including each A lot of work such as the details of a structure and the determination of all dimensions need to be completed at the structural design stage. Secondly, because the configuration of a part is related to its use and other "adjacent" parts, in order to "fit" each part to each other, generally one part cannot be configured in isolation without the other related parts. Therefore, the designer always needs to form more related parts (or parts) at the same time. In addition, in structural design, people also need to consider more how to make the product as beautiful as possible, excellent performance, low cost, manufacturability, assemblability, simple maintenance, convenient transportation and no adverse impact on the environment. and many more. Therefore, it can be said that structural design has the characteristics of "all-round" and "multi-objective".

For a part, component or product, in order to achieve a certain technical function, different configuration schemes can often be adopted, and most of this work is performed by the designer's "intuition", so the structural design is flexible and changeable. And diversity of work results.

For a product, there are often many requirements or restrictions from different perspectives, and these requirements or restrictions are often opposed to each other. For example: requirements for high performance and low cost, requirements for compact structure and avoidance of interference or sufficient adjustment space, requirements for both reliable sealing and low movement resistance in contact seals, and parts that are both simple to process and easy to assemble Request and more. The structural design must face these requirements and restrictions, and seek some kind of "eclectic" according to the importance of the various requirements and restrictions, to find the unity of opposition.

The structural design of the product is regular and followable. The structural design guide is summarized by many generations of mechanical engineers through real product development experience and lessons, and has very high structural design guidance value. Newton said: If I look farther than others, it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants. A successful product structure design is inseparable from following the design guidelines. Mechanical engineers who master the structural design guidelines are equivalent to Newton standing on the shoulders of giants.

Common structural design guides include: assembly-oriented design guides, plastic parts design guides, sheet metal design guides, and die-casting design guides. For specific guidelines, refer to the "Product Design Guide for Manufacturing and Assembly" published by Mechanical Industry Press. " ^[1] book, master these guidelines, product development is possible with lower development costs, shorter development cycles and higher product quality.

For example, the main contents of the assembly-oriented design guide are: reducing the number of parts, simplifying the product structure, standardizing the parts, modularizing the product, designing a stable base, design guiding features, positioning the parts first and fixing them, error-proof design, human-machine Engineering design and more. Product structure design improves product assemblability by following assembly-oriented design guidelines, thereby improving product assembly efficiency, reducing product assembly errors and assembly time, and improving product assembly quality.
