Design it.
Analyse it.
I’m Zakariya Nunow, an aerospace engineering graduate focused on mechanical CAD and finite element analysis. I enjoy building clear, functional models and using simulation to understand how a design behaves.

CAD + FEA / 01—04
Design & analysis
A focused selection of mechanical CAD models and finite element studies, with the design context and analysis approach behind each.
Microgravity bioprinter head
CAD design of a piston-driven extrusion head for a microgravity bioprinting concept. The assembly brings the piston, reservoir and nozzle together as a functional printing unit.
EV battery busbar concept
CAD concept developed for a Hyperbat team case study. The repeated cell layout and mounting outline explore busbar geometry in the context of contamination, corrosion and manufacturing considerations.
Hook mesh sensitivity study
Abaqus plane-stress analysis exploring how element order and local mesh refinement affect predicted stress and displacement. The study compares convergence behaviour and highlights the importance of modelling assumptions.
Multi-cell aircraft box beam
Abaqus shell model of a thin-walled aircraft structure under a 6 kN vertical shear load. Mesh convergence and comparison with hand calculations were used to study shear flow and locate the shear centre.
Approach / 02
I’m an aerospace engineering graduate from Queen Mary University of London, focused on mechanical design and structural analysis. My project work includes SolidWorks assemblies and Abaqus studies, built around defining clear geometry, loads and constraints.
I’m interested in the connection between a CAD model and the finished component: how parts fit together, how geometry can be manufactured, and how simulation can inform design decisions.
I approach FEA critically, paying attention to assumptions, mesh sensitivity and comparison with hand calculations before interpreting results.
