Jan von Rickenbach developed and enhanced data validation and post-processing workflows for the ansys/example-data and ansys/pydpf-core repositories using Python. He built a comprehensive shell layer extraction testing suite, introducing robust test files to validate extraction accuracy under various stress scenarios. In ansys/pydpf-core, Jan expanded post-processing capabilities by enabling recognition and analysis of contact mechanics data, including pressure, penetration, and friction stress. He also delivered a new beam results example artifact to support beam-related post-processing features, improving repository assets for onboarding and validation. His work demonstrated depth in DPF, testing, and data validation, focusing on reliability and maintainability.
