I’m developing a set of marine floating security barriers rather than a conventional boat or ship, and I need a technically-minded designer to take the idea from concept to validated model. The core of the assignment is two-fold: carry out full hydrodynamic simulation to prove the barrier’s performance in varying sea states, and convert the results into a practical structural design that a fabricator can build. You’ll start with whatever baseline data you need—environmental conditions, threat scenarios, operational parameters—and build a 3-D model in the CAD/CAE platform you prefer (Rhino, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Orca3D, or similar). From there, run CFD or FEA analyses to check stability, loads, mooring forces, and fatigue; iterate until the design meets the agreed criteria for strength, durability, and ease of deployment. Deliverables • Native and neutral CAD files of the final barrier geometry • Simulation reports with inputs, assumptions, and key plots (drag, uplift, stress, motion response) • Engineering drawings suitable for fabrication, complete with BOM and material call-outs • A short memo summarising recommended installation and maintenance practices Please outline the software you intend to use, your relevant marine or offshore experience, and any past projects involving floating structures or security applications. I’m ready to get started as soon as I find the right fit.

Hi, I understand you need a validated floating security barrier design with full hydrodynamic simulation, including CFD/FEA analysis for stability, mooring loads, fatigue, and real sea-state performance, followed by fabrication-ready CAD and documentation. I’m a Mechanical Design and Simulation Engineer with 15+ years of experience in SolidWorks and Ansys, specializing in CFD, FEA, fluid–structure interaction, and offshore and industrial system design. I have worked on floating and submerged systems such as pump intakes, buoyant assemblies, and flow-exposed structures, where stability, drag forces, and structural integrity under dynamic loading were critical design factors. My approach would be to build a parametric CAD model, define realistic environmental load cases, run hydrodynamic simulations to evaluate motion response and mooring forces, and iterate toward a manufacturable design with clear engineering drawings and BOM for fabrication. Could you clarify the target sea-state conditions (e.g., significant wave height and current velocity), and whether the barrier is intended to be anchored in a fixed layout or modular reconfigurable system? If helpful, I can first outline the simulation setup and propose an initial design concept before full analysis.

The design shown is structurally a buoyant pontoon barrier with cable railing, not a hulled vessel, which keeps the scope manageable. I can own the structural and fabrication side: CAD geometry (SolidWorks/AutoCAD), static buoyancy and stability calculations, basic structural checks on connectors and posts, fabrication drawings with BOM, and an installation memo. What I won't take on is full hydrodynamic CFD (drag, motion response, mooring force across sea states). That needs a dedicated naval/ocean engineer running tools like Orca3D or OpenFOAM. I'd suggest sourcing that separately, and I'm glad to coordinate with whoever you bring on so the structural design matches their simulation results. Before scoping precisely, what wave height range should this be designed for, and is the mooring seabed anchored or pier fixed? Happy to start on CAD and buoyancy calcs while you line up the hydrodynamics specialist.
