Project
brief:
Provide the mechanical design of an
experimental submersible ROV (remotely operated vehicle).
Project delivered output:
The design was developed
using 3D parametric solid modelling software, (Pro/ENGINEER).
The
resultant assembly model was used to analyse the mass distribution of
both the components comprising the submersible and the water it would
displace. This data was then used to predict the buoyancy and
trim of the design. Internal components were then moved around,
in the CAD model, until the required buoyancy and trim was
achieved, all done prior to manufacture. |
