SolidWorks Engineering Simulation & Technical Animation – AquaSkin Self-Sealing Pipe Wrap
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Project Title
SolidWorks Engineering Simulation & Technical Animation – AquaSkin Self-Sealing Pipe Wrap
Project Overview (Important)
We are seeking a freelancer with strong engineering visualization and simulation experience, preferably using SolidWorks, to create a scientifically credible 3D model and animation for a materials-science product concept called AquaSkin.
AquaSkin is a physics-driven, biomaterials-based system that seals pipe leaks using hydrogel / superabsorbent polymer (SAP) beads. This is not a cinematic animation project — the visuals must resemble engineering simulations / technical analysis outputs, similar to SolidWorks Simulation or Flow Simulation presentations.
We have attached reference images demonstrating the style, technical aesthetic, and simulation-like visual language we want to replicate.
Critical Requirement – Software & Technical Approach
Highly Preferred Workflow:
• SolidWorks (strongly preferred)
• SolidWorks Simulation / Flow Simulation (if applicable)
Alternative tools only acceptable if physics realism is preserved:
• Fusion 360 (simulation-capable)
• COMSOL (if available)
• Blender/Maya ONLY with physically believable deformation & expansion simulation
Key expectation:
Animations must reflect simulation-consistent material behavior, not manually keyframed scaling or artistic effects.
Project Objective
Produce engineering-grade visualizations that communicate the underlying materials science and mechanics of AquaSkin:
Multi-layer composite structure
Hydrogel bead swelling mechanics
Constrained expansion & pressure generation
Leak sealing via deformation & jamming behavior
The final result should feel like a technical demonstration / engineering analysis, not marketing artwork.
Technical Concept Summary
AquaSkin is a three-layer composite wrap applied to a leaking pipe.
Layer Structure
1. Outer Layer – Structural Containment
High-tensile, non-permeable layer that resists deformation and contains swelling forces.
2. Middle Layer – Active Sealing Matrix
Porous matrix containing hydrogel / SAP beads (microspheres) that swell when exposed to water.
3. Inner Layer – Semi-Permeable Membrane
Allows water ingress while retaining beads prior to activation.
Mechanism to Visualize
When a pipe leak occurs:
• Water escapes through crack / defect
• Water contacts beads via inner membrane
• Beads hydrate → volumetric expansion
• Outer layer constrains expansion
• Swelling generates inward pressure
• Beads deform / jam into leak path
• Leak becomes sealed by dense gel mass
Physics plausibility is more important than molecular precision.
Required Deliverables
Primary Deliverable – SolidWorks-Style Simulation Animation
Create a technically realistic animation showing:
• Pipe segment with visible crack / leak path
• AquaSkin wrap installed around pipe
• Water flow escaping defect
• Water reaching bead matrix
• Bead swelling behavior
• Constrained expansion mechanics
• Pressure directed toward leak
• Leak sealing / flow reduction
Visual style must resemble engineering simulation outputs.
Preferred camera flow:
External geometry → Section cut → Activation sequence
Length target: ~20–35 seconds
Structural / Analytical Visualization
Produce a simulation-style technical render or short animation showing:
• Cross-section of wrap layers
• Clear layer differentiation
• Dry vs Activated comparison
• Expanded beads in activated state
• Visually intuitive pressure logic
Should resemble technical analysis diagrams, not infographics.
Micro-Scale Physics Animation – Bead Behavior
Zoomed-in simulation-like visualization:
• Dry bead geometry
• Water contact & absorption
• Swelling / soft-material expansion
• Gel-like deformation
• Optional multi-bead interaction
Avoid rigid sphere scaling — deformation should look material-driven.
Output Files
• MP4 rendered animation (1080p minimum)
• High-resolution PNG renders
• Source files (SolidWorks preferred)
Visual Style Direction (Very Important)
We want visuals inspired by engineering / simulation presentations, similar to:
• SolidWorks Simulation outputs
• Flow trajectory visualizations
• Stress / deformation visual language
• Clean white / neutral backgrounds
• Smooth technical camera motion
Attached reference images illustrate the desired tone and realism.
Accuracy Priorities
The animation must convincingly show:
Expansion driven by water absorption
Constrained swelling mechanics
Pressure generation logic
Soft / gel-like material behavior
Avoid unrealistic artistic effects.
When Applying, Please Include
Software you will use (must specify)
Experience with SolidWorks / simulation workflows
Portfolio examples (technical / engineering visuals preferred)
Cost estimate
