Assembly of Yacht
A super structure is an extended construction of any building or platform that rises above the rest of the building or platform in a distinct manner.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.

All the modelled parts are inserted one by one in the assemnbly.
Since the parts are created based on the reference with the deck surface the parts are automatically fixed above the deck surface while the part being inserted in the assembly environment.
So to start the assembly of the yacht the first part being inserted will be the hull whicj has the deck surface.
The propeller,Radar and garage door are not fully fixed since they have to rotate and move respectively.
So for these parts the mates are manually defined to allow them to move in particular axis only.
CONCLUSION :
Thus the various exterior parts of the yacht are modelled and assmebled using the solidworks software.
