I’m developing a small submarine dedicated to tourism and leisure trips that will never exceed 100 m depth, and I need a mechanical engineer who can turn that vision into a safe, passenger-friendly hull. The body must prioritise comfortable seating and panoramic views, so the structural layout, viewport sizing, and overall ergonomics come first; efficiency or military-grade features are secondary at best. You’ll take the lead on the complete pressure-hull concept: material selection, thickness calculations, buoyancy and stability assessments, and preliminary FEA to prove the design can meet recognised safety codes such as DNV-GL Submersible Rules or ASME-PVHO. Please integrate a seating plan for 6–10 passengers with wide viewing domes/windows, and leave space for a compact life-support module and thruster mounts. Deliverables • 3D CAD model (SolidWorks or similar) of the full hull with viewport cut-outs, seating, and internal frames • Brief structural report: load cases, stress margins, safety factors, buoyancy/stability tables • Material and manufacturing notes suitable for a prototype quote • Native CAD file + STEP/IGES export and PDF drawings I’ll review against: compliance with the 100 m depth envelope, unobstructed sightlines for every seat, and documented safety factors ≥ 2.5 for pressure loads. If you’ve worked on submersibles, hyperbaric chambers, or similar pressure vessels, please mention it along with portfolio examples.

Hello, After reviewing the project scope, I would strongly recommend seeking support from a specialized submarine design firm or engineering consultancy with proven experience in manned submersibles and pressure-hull certification. The requested work involves pressure-vessel design for human occupancy at depths approaching 100 m, including structural sizing, buoyancy and stability calculations, safety-factor verification, and compliance with standards such as DNV-GL and ASME PVHO. These are life-safety critical systems where engineering decisions directly affect passenger safety. In my opinion, this is not the type of project that should be awarded solely based on the lowest freelance bid. Any freelancer offering a complete certified design for a few hundred or even a couple of thousand euros should be carefully evaluated for relevant qualifications, professional liability coverage, regulatory experience, and prior submersible projects. Producing CAD models and running basic FEA is very different from delivering a design suitable for carrying people underwater. For a project of this nature, I would recommend engaging a company or engineering team that has demonstrable experience with pressure vessels, manned submersibles, marine classification requirements, and the associated certification process. Passenger safety should remain the primary consideration throughout the design process.

Hi, I can deliver this within your budget as a preliminary concept package: • 3D CAD hull model (Fusion 360, equivalent to SolidWorks for this scope, full STEP/IGES export) • 6-10 seat layout with checked sightlines through viewing domes • Pressure hull thickness calc at 100m using ASME PVHO-1 / Lamé formulas, safety factor ≥2.5 • Buoyancy/stability spreadsheet (displacement, rough GM) • Material notes (viewport: acrylic per PVHO-1 reference; hull: material options with pros/cons) • Space reserved for life-support + thruster mounts • Native file + STEP/IGES + PDF drawings Note on scope: this is a conceptual/preliminary design suitable for prototype quoting not a DNV-GL/ASME certified package, which would need formal FEA and multi discipline review. I'll flag this clearly in the deliverable so it's not mistaken for certification ready documentation. I haven't worked on submersibles specifically, but I have solid experience in structural CAD and technical drafting for safety relevant structures. Glad to share portfolio examples on request. Can start right away.
