Assembly of Yacht

Yacht

Aim:

  • To model each parts of a Yacht and assemble all the parts using solidworks.

Objectives:

  • To create the parts of an Yacht and assemble them to get a solid model using solidworks and working on different features in solid works.

Procedure:

Propeller :

  • A propelleris a rotating fan-like structure which is used to propel the shipby using the power generated and transmitted by the main engine of the

Tools used:

  • Fillet
  • Extrude
  • Revolve
  • Loft
  • Circular pattern

    Yacht

    Aim:

    • To model each parts of a Yacht and assemble all the parts using solidworks.

    Objectives:

    • To create the parts of an Yacht and assemble them to get a solid model using solidworks and working on different features in solid works.

    Radar :

    • Radaris a vital navigation component for safety at sea and near the shore.

    Tools used:

    • Sketch pattern
    • Split line
    • Extrude
    • Cut Extrude
    • Fillet

    Garage Door :

    • It is like the same other doors for the garage in the yacht it protects the things or vehicle placed inside the garage.
    • In this parts we have used the cut part of the garage to make the garage door.

    Tools used

    • Fillet
    • Extrude
    • Mirror

    Middle Seat :

    • This seat is placed next to the superstructure on the back side above the garage.

    Tools used:

    • Fillet
    • Extrude
    • Revolve
    • Chamfer

    Front Seat :

    • This seat is placed in the front end of the yacht infront of the superstructure .

    Tools used:

    • Fillet
    • Extrude
    • Surface Knit
    • Surface trim
    • Surface loft
    • Revolve
    • Dome

    Rear seat :

    • This seat is placed at the very last edge of the hull’s main body surface that is behind the superstructure.

    Tools used:

    • Fillet
    • Extrude
    • Surface Knit
    • Surface trim
    • Surface loft
    • Revolve
    • Chamfer
    • Ruled surface

    Radarmast:

    • It is the mounting place for the radar so that it would rotate to sweep the surface for several signals and also we can mount the horns in them.

    Tools used:

    • Extrude
    • Fillet
    • Mirror
    • Shell
    • Projected curves
    • Revolve
    • Chamfer

    Superstructure :

    • The superstructure is actually the place for the bridge and the deck houses normally the surface above the deck is called the superstructure.

    Tools used:

    • Surface fill
    • Surface extend
    • Surface trim
    • Ruled surface
    • Surface offset
    • 3D sketch
    • Fillet ...

    Hull :

    • It the main body of the yacht which carries all the other parts in this model.
    • The other models like seats and radarmast have been drawn by using the surface bodies of the hull as reference.

    Tools used:

    • Shell
    • Extrude
    • Cut Extrude
    • Helix and spiral
    • Chamfer
    • Fillet
    • Split
    • Sweep
    • Surface fill
    • Projected curves

    Yacht Assembly:

    • In this assembly it is quite simple because we selected the hull surface bodies to draw the superstructure , seats , radar mast .
    • These parts can be placed just by leaving it freely to float and the it fixes with the hull part automatically.

    Tools used:

    • Coincident
    • Concentric
    • Mating of planes

    Rendering:

    • Rendering is the process involved in the generation of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image from a model by means of application programs.
    • Rendering is done for the yacht using the photoview 360.

    Tools used:

    • Edit scene
    • Edit decal
    • Preview window
    • Final render
    • Option
    • Schedule render
    • Camera

    Conclusion:

    • While modelling yacht, I have gained more knowledge about the features and where to use them in solid works which helped me to complete this model easily. Some new commands that I have learned were;
    • Ruled surfaces
    • Surface knit
    • Surface extend
    • Various surface trim options
    • Split line
    • Mostly all the surfaces features
    • Overall I have improved my skill in solid works using these 5 challenges.
