<p dir="ltr">Hi, </p>
<p dir="ltr">To calculate viewports and pressure vessel (hull) you can download for free ASME PVHO standard which is very simple and guides you trough the process. Standard provides stiffener geometry, window geometry etc. <br></p>

check how thick the hull hadd to be, to get to <u></u>200 meters<u></u>, the hull
have to be over 15mm thick.. so thought maybe i should use ribbs to get it
thinner, but dont know how to calculate whit ribs, and how to find out how many
