Summary
Takaaki Amitani is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in CAE-driven R&D for internal combustion engines, particularly motorcycle and outboard powertrains. He blends deep simulation expertise across heat transfer, hydrodynamics, multibody dynamics, materials fatigue and lubrication to validate methods and deliver robust solutions for new product development. At Yamaha he led adaptation of CAE workflows (RecurDyn, GT‑Suite, MSC.NASTRAN, FEMFAT) to solve complex moving-part issues, and at SCSK he now pairs technical presales with hands-on support to win projects and deploy a broad suite of engine analysis tools. His background also includes building automation for FE model quality checks and numerical fluid ecology models, reflecting a knack for tooling that reduces engineering cycle time. Based in Greater Tokyo, he combines deep mechanical engineering theory with practical software and process improvements to bridge R&D and product rollout. Notably, he often focuses on secondary piston motion and friction prediction—subtle but high-impact drivers of engine durability and efficiency.
