Elmehdi H.

Mechanical Engineer & Naval Architect | SolidWorks, FEA, DFM, Drawings

I turn ideas, sketches, photos, scanned parts and hull lines into parametric CAD models, structural calculations and drawing packages a workshop can build from. Most of the work is solving the mechanical problem underneath: what carries the load, how the part is made, and what that choice costs. DESIGN AND DRAWINGS - Parts and assemblies with a clean, editable feature tree - Manufacturing drawings: GD&T, ISO 2768 tolerances, title block, ballooned views, itemised BOM - Sheet metal: flat patterns with K-factor, bend tables, DXF for laser - Weldments: ISO 2553 symbols, cut lists, torch access - Molded plastics: draft, wall thickness, parting line, gate and ejectors - 3D printing: FDM in PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, nylon, TPU, and MSLA resin - Files: STEP, DXF, DWG, STL, 3MF, PDF CALCULATION Shafts, keys, bearings, bolted and welded joints, gears and drives, springs, buckling, fatigue, thermal stress. FEA in Abaqus: static, modal, buckling and contact, with mesh convergence shown. You get the load case, the assumptions and the resulting margin in writing — not a colourful plot. NAVAL Hull surface modelling and fairing in DELFTship, Maxsurf and Rhino. Lines plans, general arrangement, hydrostatics, GZ and KN curves. Intact and damage stability: flooding cases, lost buoyancy and added weight methods, checked against IMO IS Code 2008 criteria — area under GZ, GM, angle and value of maximum righting lever, weather criterion, residual margins after damage. Hydrodynamics: resistance and powering, planing and displacement hulls. Seakeeping: motions and accelerations. Scantling checks against Bureau Veritas rules, structural FEA of plating and framing. SOFTWARE SolidWorks, CATIA, Rhino, FreeCAD, AutoCAD, Abaqus, Maxsurf, DELFTship. Python for batch drawings and calculation sheets. Tell me what you are making and how it will be manufactured. You get the process, the assumptions and the tolerances in writing before I model anything.
