Dr. Ortwin Ohtmer received his doctorate in Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. He served as Assistant Professor at the University of Braunschweig in Germany from 1963 to 1968.
Dr. Ohtmer was appointed Department Head for Applied Mechanics at the Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm Company in Munich from 1968 to 1984. During this time, he was actively involved in large international projects such as the TORNADO fighter and AIRBUS airplane.
Dr. Ohtmer was the head of the Development and Maintenance Team for the Finite Element Software System MBB-MAN-ICES-STRUDL. In this capacity, he published the ICES-STRUDL Operations Manual and the ICES-STRUDL Application Manuals, Volume I and Volume II.
In 1984, Dr. Ohtmer joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at California State University, Long Beach where he is a Professor, and served as Department Chair from 1992-1998.
He is an internationally known expert in Finite Element Methods, 3D-Computer-Aided-Design(CAD), and Optimization Techniques. Dr. Ohtmer has 80 scholarly publications and many papers presented at conferences, published in proceedings.
His main objective is to incorporate Rapid Prototyping, 3D-Scanning, Solid Modeling, FE-Methods and Optimization techniques in the integrated design and advanced manufacturing chain of processes.
