I am looking for a structural engineer with proven experience in CYPE 3D to assist me with the structural analysis of a 2P single-axis solar tracker for a Mechanical Engineering academic project.

Proven experience with CYPE 3D is mandatory. Applicants must have actual experience modeling and analyzing steel structures in CYPE 3D.

The project is 100% remote, and I would prefer a Spanish-speaking structural engineer based in Latin America.

Experience with solar trackers, photovoltaic support structures, light steel structures, wind loads, and Eurocode 3 would be highly valued.

The geometry, photovoltaic modules, structural configuration, and main loads are already defined. I also have a similar structural project that can be used as a methodological reference.

I mainly need assistance with:
- Building and reviewing the structural model in CYPE 3D.
- Steel profile selection and definition.
- Correct application of dead, wind, and snow loads.
- Load combinations and boundary conditions.
- Buckling parameters.
- Structural verification and profile sizing.
- Review and interpretation of CYPE 3D results.

The structure consists of a longitudinal torque tube, steel columns, and secondary steel profiles supporting the PV modules.

Applicants should briefly describe their previous CYPE 3D experience and provide an example or screenshot of a structural model they have previously developed in CYPE 3D.
