[PSUBS-MAILIST] STS Sub Design Software

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

I'm limited in what I can accomplish, given that I'm not well-invested in personal tools and machining equipment, and there are limits as to what my employer will permit me to do on personal projects. I can design (CAD/CAM/FEA/CFD), do basic fabrication and assembly, non-pressure vessel welding, PAC programming, post-weld heat treatment, pressure testing to 60,000 psi and instrument calibration, but I need to farm out most machining and welding tasks. As such, cost increases significantly.
