Assembly of Yacht
Advanced surface modeling of sunseeker predator yacht using solidworks.
OBJECTIVE:
The Objective of this project was to learn about advanced surface modeling tools and steps by creating yacht parts then assemble and render by using solidworks visualize.
INTRODUCTION:
Motor yacht Casino Royale exemplifies the predator principle with a narrow hull form for higher speeds and agility. M/Y casino Royale’s minimal superstructure and arrow-head foredeck arrangement enhances her performance, proven with 45knots achieved thanks to her 7300PS, triple Arneson surface drive option. The yacht's design also places importance on luxury comfort and timeless elegance.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY:
- MODELING OF YACHT COMPONENTS
- ASSEMBLE
- RENDERING
DESCRIPTION:
Different components of yacht:
- Hull
- Superstructure
- Front seat
- Middle seat
- Rear seat
- Garage door
- Propeller
- Radar
- Radar Mast
DESIGN AND MODELLING OF EACH COMPONENTS:
HULL:
A hull is the watertight body of a ship and fully covered with a deck. Atop the deck carries superstructure and the line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
Commands used during creation of hull:
Extruded surface, Extruded boss/base, surface knit, surface trim, fillet, shell, surface sweep, chamfer, extruded cut, surface offset, Dome, linear pattern, delete face, surface filled.
CAD MODEL:
SUPERSTRUCTURE:
A superstructure is an upward extension of an existing structure above a main deck. The size of the superstructure has a great influence on the mobility of the vessels.
Commands used during creation of superstructure:
Convert entities, projected curve, surface knit, mirror, surface thicken, surface filled, split line, fillet, ruled surface, offset entities, dome, surface sweep, delete face, extruded boss/base, extrude cut, surface offset.
CAD MODEL:
FRONT SEAT:
It is part of the yacht built above on the deck and front of the yacht for comfort of passengers.
Commands used during creation of front seat:
Projected curve, offset entities, surface swept, extruded boss/base, extrude cut fillet, mirror, surface knit, surface trim, dome.
CAD MODEL:
MIDDLE SEAT:
It is part of the yacht built above on the deck and middle of the yacht for comfort of passengers.
Commands used during creation of middle seat:
Extruded boss/base, chamfer, fillet, extruded cut, mirror.
CAD MODEL:
REAR SEAT:
It is part of the yacht built above on the deck and rear of the yacht for comfort of passengers.
Commands used during creation of rear seat:
Extruded boss/base, ruled surface, surface trim, fillet, lofted surface, extended surface, surface knit, mirror, offset surface, revolve, extruded cut.
CAD MODEL:
GARAGE DOOR:
It is used to open and close the garage area.
Commands used during creation of garage door:
Shell, fillet, extruded cut, mirror.
CAD MODEL:
PROPELLER:
A propeller is a machine that moves the yacht forward and backward through a fluid when you turn it. It has two, three, or four twisted blades poking out at angle from a central hub spun around by an engine.
Commands used during creation of propeller:
Revolved boss/base, fillet, lofted boss, extruded cut, circular pattern.
CAD MODEL:
RADAR:
Radar is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle and velocity of objects.
Commands used during creation of radar:
Extruded boss/base, convert entities, extruded cut, fillet, split line, curve driven pattern,mirror.
CAD MODEL:
RADAR MAST:
Mast is a tall pole used for support of the sails on a ship that holds up the sails and radar on a ship.
Commands used during creation of radar mast:
Extruded boss/base, chamfer, projected curve, shell, extrude cut, fillet, offset surface, mirror dome, revolve, offset entities.
CAD MODEL:
ASSEMBLE:
All different model parts are assembled together by providing necessary mate like coincident mate, parallel mate, perpendicular mate relations between them.
CAD MODEL:
RENDER:
Render processes give a realistic view of a model by using solidworks visualize.
RENDER MODEL:
CONCLUSION:
All the models of each component of sunseeker predator yacht are created successfully by using solidworks and assembled with proper mates and render process done by proper light, scene using photoview 360 and solidworks visualize.
