DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF YACHT
DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF YACHT
OBJECTIVE
To design and assemble various parts of a Yacht using SolidWorks software
INTRODUCTION
SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering computer program that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. SolidWorks is published by Dassault Systèmes.
In this project,the main aim is to learn various surface modelling techniques like knitting,surface filling etc.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
1.Propelleler
A propeller is a rotating fan like structure which is used to propel the ship by using the power generated and transmitted by the main engine of the ship. The transmitted power is converted from rotational motion to generate a thrust which imparts momentum to the water, resulting in a force that acts on the ship and pushes it forward.
Commands Used
-Revolve
-New plane command
-Lofted Base command
-Fillet command
-Cut-Extrude
-Circular pattern command

2.Radar
Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect other ships and land obstacles, to provide bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation at sea. They are electronic navigation instruments that use a rotating antenna to sweep a narrow beam of microwaves around the water surface surrounding the ship to the horizon, detecting targets by microwaves reflected from them, generating a picture of the ship's surroundings on a display screen. A Radar has a flat antenna that spins, emitting a signal, then listening back for that signal. The return signal bounces back at varying times based on what it may be bouncing off of.
Commands Used
-Boss extrude
-Fillet
-Cut Extrude
-Sketch Pattern
-Mirror
-Split line

3.Hull
A hull is the water tight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructure, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
Commands Used
-Projected curve
-3d sketch
-surface command
-loft command
-surface offset
-surface trim
-extend surface
-Knit surface
-Shell
-Split line
-Boundary surface
-Cut extrude
-surface thickening
-Mirror
-Linear pattern
-Photoview 360 -> Decals to the floor

4.Garage Door
Garage door is a solid part that is made to be assembled with the hull as a door to the inside of the hull.
Commands Used
-Cut Extrude
-Shell
-Fillet
-Mirror
-Insert plane command

5.Front Seat
Front seat is designed to be placed in the front side of the hull in order for the passengers to be seated comfortably by adding cusions to its surface.
Commands used
-Surface sweep
-Surface extrude
-Surface trim
-Surface fill
-Surface loft
-Surface knit
-Chamfer
-Revolve
-Cut Extrude
-Fillet
-Mirror
-Dome

Commands Use
-Boss extrude
-Insert Plane
-Chamfer
-Fillet
-Mirror
-Cut extrude

7.Rear Seat
Rear seat is designed to provide seating for people in the back of the hull.A flag is placed on the rear side of the seat and two gates are provided at the two ends.
Command Used
-Insert plane
-Surface sweep
-Surface offset
-Surface trim
-Ruled Surface
-Surface knit
-Surface trim
-Surface Extend
-Surface extrude
-Surface loft
-Boss extrude
-Cut extrude
-Chamfer
-Fillet
-Mirror
-Revolve
-3d Sketch

8.Superstructure
A superstructure is an extended construction of any building or platform that rises above the rest of the building or platform in a distinct manner. The word comes from a combination of two Latin words, the Latin prefix ‘super’ means in addition or above or in excess of, whereas the stem word ‘structure’ means to build or to heap up. Thus, superstructure means to add a construction to an already existing structure. In ships this is the name given to the part of the ship that emerges from the deck.
Commands Used
-Surface extrude
-Insert plane
-Surface sweep
-Surface knit
-Fillet
-Ruled surface
-Surface trim
-Projected curve
-Surface loft
-Surface fill
-3D sketch
-Surface extend
-Surface extrude
-Delete face command
-Boss extrude

9.Radar Mast
The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall spar, or arrangement of spars, erected more or less vertically on the centre-line of a ship or boat.Here a radar is mounted on the mast.
Commands Used
-Insert Plane
-Boss extrude
-Fillet
-Revolve
-Sweep
-Mirror
-Projected curve
-Chamfer
-Dome
-Shell
Radarmast CAD model
10.Assembly
All the parts are imported and placed automatically because all are modelled on the deck surface.
Commands Used
-Mate
-Import
