Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drawings



Thanks, Frank.  I've never used Paint and didn't know it could produce those drawings.

The only drawing tools I've used throughout the whole sub thing is the "PAINT" program that comes with every computer.
It's very basic and simple but as I use it just to explain what I'm talking about, simplicity is a good thing.
Brent used "COSMOS" and made several very impressive renderings and if I was a bit more computer savvy, that's what I'd probably look into learning.
Most of my actual design work is done with paper and pencil, then typically a few computer sketches are made to work out a few random ideas, followed by actual cut/weld fabrication, and then I use paint again to make a "cleaned up" version of an "as-built" and the pic goes into my file.
The whole thing about the COSMOS program is the colors and surface textures making Brent's work look like photos of actual parts. Very realistic and three dimensional.

Hey, Lawrie,
 
Unfortunately I'm still using a literal drawing board.  I've installed TurboCad Professional but won't have an opportunity to even begin to learn it for several more weeks.  Frank has submitted some very good CAD drawings of components.  If I recall correctly the last ones were emergency release buoys.  I don't know what program he used.  Frank?

Good point Jim. Back to the drawing board as they say :-)

Pretty cool, Lawrie. 
 
From the standpoint of stability, it looks like it would be difficult to sit on the sea bottom or the deck of a tender.  On deck a great deal of the weight would be transferred to the pontoons.  One possible solution would be to divide the underslung battery pods into left and right pods and run supports to the hull.
 
It's caused me to re-evaluate something on my own design.
 
Thanks,
Jim
