Dr. Eng. Claudio Gianini, a luminary in the field of structural engineering, is a new team member of Scheurer Swiss GmbH.

Dr. Eng. Claudio Gianini is an expert in the field of computer-aided structural engineering. He has over 25 years of experience in structural design and finite element analysis of nearly all materials: from steel, aluminum, titanium and magnesium alloys to high-tech composite materials made of carbon, glass or Kevlar.

Roots in the Formula 1

As at Scheurer Swiss GmbH, the knowledge of Dr. Eng. Gianini is also based on his work in Formula 1, where cutting-edge technology is central. It was also Formula 1that first brought Dr. Gianini and today’s Scheurer Swiss GmbH into contact. At that time, Dr. Gianini and the CEO of Scheurer Swiss GmbH, Dominik Scheurer, were employed at Formula 1 Toyota – Dr. Gianini as a calculation engineer and Mr Scheurer as a design engineer – and were thus already working hand in hand successfully at that time.

Dr. Ing. Claudio Gianini is a luminary in the field of computer-aided structural engineering and started his own business in 2012.

Dr. Ing. Claudio Gianini is a luminary in the field of computer-aided structural engineering and started his own business in 2012.

Just like Dominik Scheurer, Dr. Claudio Gianini later became self-employed and founded his own company “Claudio Gianini – Computer Aided Engineering” in 2012. Since then, the two former colleagues have worked together successfully with their own companies on several occasions. Recently, Dr. Claudio Gianini has joined the core team of Scheurer Swiss GmbH.

25 years of calculation expertise on board

Scheurer Swiss GmbH is very pleased to have such an experienced and competent calculation engineer on board – because Dr. Claudio Gianini’s 25 years of calculation expertise fits exactly into our concept of the complete service we offer our customers: all services from calculation, construction and design to production and the finished component.

We asked the calculation expert which advantages he sees in the computer-aided modelling and analysis of complex thermostructural behaviour of mechanical components and assemblies and why the customers of Scheurer Swiss GmbH, now that he’ll be an integral part of the core team of Scheurer Swiss GmbH, can benefit even more from his specialist knowledge than before.

When work becomes passion

The expert in computer-aided structural calculations and author of technical books shares his knowledge from over 25 years of experience in the simulation of thermostructural behaviour.

The expert for computer-aided structural calculations and author of numerous technical articles and editorial contributions as well as textbooks like “Computational Structural Engineering” provides insights into his immense know-how gained in over 25 years of experience in the simulation of thermostructural behaviour of individual parts and mechanical assemblies and allows us to participate in his successful professional career.

Find out which expressive guiding principle accompanies him in his daily work and whether work is really just work for him – or much more than that.

Scheurer Swiss GmbH is pleased to welcome Dr. Eng. Claudio Gianini as a new team member and looks forward to many more successful projects.

Ready for Mars mission

ExoMars rover for 2020 Mars mission co-developed by Scheurer Swiss GmbH.

Scheurer Swiss GmbH is commissioned by RUAG Space with the development and construction of the ExoMars-Rover.

RUAG Space has engaged the Swiss engineering company “Scheurer Swiss GmbH”, renowned for its many years of expertise in fibre composite technologies, as engineering and production partner for the construction of the ExoMars-Rover. “Scheurer Swiss GmbH has actively supported RUAG Space in an advisory and operational capacity,” announces CEO Dominik Scheurer.

Scheurer Swiss GmbH provided extensive support to RUAG Space in the development and production of the ExoMars rover's carbon fibre chassis.

Scheurer Swiss GmbH provided extensive support to RUAG Space in the development and production of the ExoMars rover’s carbon fibre chassis.

“In particular in the engineering for the development of the carbon fibre chassis of the rover and in advance as consultant in the course of the acquisition of a suitable laser system for the purpose of the lamination process of the aforementioned carbon fibre chassis. Scheurer Swiss GmbH also provided extensive production support by successfully placing its specialised and competent specialists to RUAG Space, deploying them directly on site under the leadership of our experienced Chief Technology Officer, Robert Tween.”, explains Scheurer.

Homage to famous biochemist

In addition to Switzerland, other nations such as England are also part of the European space project and are developing, on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA) under the direction of RUAG Space and Airbus Defence and Space, the suspension and carbon fibre chassis of the Mars rover named after the famous British biochemist Rosalind Franklin, which will begin its journey to the red planet in 2020. The finished suspension of the prospective Martian is currently in the RUAG Space test centre in Zurich and will be put through its paces using suitable substrates and scenarios.

Brand new control center as operational hub

At the same time, the brand new control centre for the ExoMars-Rover – the Rover Operations Control Centre (ROCC) – was inaugurated in Turin, Italy, by Thales Italia Space, the ExoMars-Rover Prime.

The ExoMars rover is undergoing controlled testing at the brand new Rover Operations Control Centre in Turin, Italy.

It is one of the largest European Martian shipyards and will be the operational hub which will coordinate the activities and drilling of the European-built laboratory on wheels upon arrival on the surface of Mars and will test them in advance on Earth in a controlled manner after the individual rover components will have been extensively tested in the respective countries and then assembled to form the complete ExoMars rover.
“This is the crucial place on Earth from where we will listen to the rover’s instruments, see what she sees and send commands to direct the search for evidence of life on and under the surface,” said Jan Wörner, ESA’s Director General. The ExoMars rover will be the first of its kind to both move across the Mars surface and to study it at depth with a drill able to collect samples from down to two metres into the surface.

The ExoMars rover will be the first of its kind to both move over and explore the surface of Mars in depth.

“Thanks to ROCC, Europe will have the great opportunity to manage the activities of the rover on Mars and to plan and test its movements,” said Giorgio Saccoccia, president of the Italian space Agency ASI during the opening ceremony. “This will be the first step towards new robotic missions for the study of Mars and other celestial bodies.”

Launch in July 2020

The facilities will be buzzing with activity from July 2020, when a Proton rocket will insert the ExoMars spacecraft in an eight-month long interplanetary cruise, marking the beginning of an ambitious, scientific and robotic exploration mission.
And with RUAG Space and Scheurer Swiss GmbH, Switzerland is not only close at hand but right in the middle of it all!
