Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVedad Alic is a seasoned IT-konsult and computational design engineer based in Malmö, Sweden, with nine years of experience bridging academia and industry. He holds a PhD in Structural Mechanics from Lund University, complemented by a licentiate degree and a civil engineering background from Chalmers, underscoring a broad design-to-simulation spectrum. His work spans developing numerical methods and software for computational design—from research demonstrators to industrial tools—with notable contributions to CALFEM for Python, including core FEM algorithms, 3D extensions, and traction-capable boundary implementations. At Tyréns AB and Netcompany, he applies Python, C#, .NET, and machine learning tooling to structural design, analysis, and automation in the AEC pipeline, leveraging Revit and Robot APIs. He is an active open-source contributor who has modernized CALFEM-python, improved documentation, and refactored core modules such as core.py and utils.py to enable robust simulations. In addition to coding, he has taught finite element software development and supervised software-focused coursework, translating advanced numerical methods into production-grade tools.

CALFEM/calfem-python
Aug 2016 - Apr 2018
CALFEM for Python is the Python port of the CALFEM finite element toolkit. It also implements meshing function based on GMSH and triangle. Visualisation routines are implemented using visvis and matplotlib.

Contributions summary:Vedad focused on enhancing the core functionality of the CALFEM Python library. They addressed deprecated code usage, improved documentation through updates, and added new capabilities such as applying traction forces on boundaries using linear elements. The user also refactored and extended existing functions, including adding 3D versions, demonstrating a solid understanding of finite element methods and related numerical methods within the library. Their work involved core modifications to several key modules within the library, particularly in `core.py` and `utils.py`.
