AFD Adds
Dutch Dimension
Dutchman Mart
Heerschap recently joined the AFD
consulting team. Mart is highly qualified in the field
of structural analysis; specialising in non-linear mechanics
involving inter-component contact, large deformations
and material non-linearity like failure.
Mart has developed his expertise in this field over
many years but the foundation was laid during his PhD
research and subsequent full-time post with MSC where
he was involved with the development of the PATRAN/DYTRAN
software, for 5 years.
Setting up his own consultancy (MGts) Mart went on
to grow his expertise by providing advice and performing
analyses in the automotive, offshore, aviation and space
industries and also delivering training courses.
Mart now wants to develop his business and he sees
AFD as the ideal vehicle
for collaboration!
