Yacht

Objective:

The objective of this project is to create a 3D model of the Yacht parts using different tools in the solidworks.

To assemble the different parts of the Yacht modelled.

To create a photorealistic rendered image of the Yacht using Solidworks Photoview 360 and Solidworks visualize.

Part Modelling:

Part Modelling you can create a Part from a conceptual sketch through solid feature-based Modelling, as well as build and modify Parts through direct and intuitive graphical manipulation. It is also represented as a Virtual Prototype of an object.

Surface Modelling:

Surface modelling plays a major role in modelling a yacht. Most of the parts in the yacht are surface modelled.

Surface modelling gives you the ability to build out a visual representation of an object’s exterior and its contours. In other words, it’s a surface.

The following are the features used in surface modelling,

Loft Surface

Loft Surfaces are surfaces generated by multiple 3D Curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves.

Sweep Surfaces

Sweep surfaces are surfaces that are generated from a section curve positioned along a path.

Filled Surface

The Filled Surface feature constructs a surface patch with any number of sides, within a boundary defined by existing model edges, sketches, or curves, including composite curves.
Surface trim.

Primarily used to cut away material from a surface, and provides two modes: Standard and Mutual.

Extend Surface

Extend Surface is used to extend the surface which is already created. There are different options available on the extended surface. We can extend the surface as the same surface or we can extend the surface tangent to the surface.

Surface knit

Surface knit is used to knit the two free edges/open edges of the surfaces together. Also, it reduces the gap between the two edges of the surface.

Parts to be Modelled for Yacht

The following parts of the Yacht is modelled and assembled together in the Solidworks.

1. Propeller.
2. Radar.
3. Hull.
4. Garage Door.
5. Front Seat.
6. Middle Seat.
7. Rear Seat.
8. Superstructure.
9. Radar Mast.

1. Propeller:

A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and rotating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that when rotated performs an action. It transforms rotational power into a linear thrust by acting upon a fluid such as water or air. The rotational motion of the blades is converted into thrust by creating a pressure difference between the two surfaces. A given mass is accelerated in one direction and the craft moves in the opposite direction.

Features used to create Propeller

• Sketch
• Revolve
• Cut Extrude
• Loft
• Fillet
• Circular Pattern

Sketch

The sketch is the two-dimensional representation of the model with respect to the plane/view from the outside of the mode.

Revolve

To create a revolve feature: Create a sketch that contains one or more profiles and a centerline, line, or edge to use as the axis around which the feature revolves.

Circular Pattern

The circular pattern is used to create a pattern of the propeller. By using these multiple patterns are created.

Loft

The loft is surfaces generated by multiple 3D Curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves.

2. Radar

Marine radars are X-band or S-band radar on ships used to detect other ships or land obstacles to provide bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation at sea.

Features used to create Radar

• Sketch
• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet
• Sketch driven pattern

Extrude cut

Extrude cut is another cool feature that helps to remove materials from the 3D model.

Mirror

By using mirror faces with a mid-plane selected only the chosen faces within the revolve will be mirrored

3. Hull

A hull is the watertight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open at the top of it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. A top the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.

Features used to create Hull

• Sketch
• Project Curve
• Swept Surface
• Loft surface
• Extruded surface
• Extend Surface
• Surface Knit
• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet
• Pattern
• Split
• Shell

4. Garage Door:

A garage door is a large door on a garage that opens either manually or by an electric motor (a garage door opener). Garage doors are frequently large enough to accommodate automobiles and other vehicles. Doors are made of wood, metal or fiberglass and may be insulated to prevent heat loss.

Features used to create Garage Door

• Insert
• Shell
• Text
• Split

5. Front Seat:

Front Seat is placed on the front area of the Hull. It gives a fantastic view of the sea to the passengers.

Features used to create Front Seat

• Sketch
• Project Curve
• Swept Surface
• Loft surface
• Ruled Surface
• Extend Surface
• Surface Knit
• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet
• Pattern

6. Middle Seat:

The middle seat is placed under the superstructure. It was modelled as a way it gives the best outside dining experience for the travellers.

Features used to create Middle Seat

• Sketch
• Extrude
• Chamber
• Fillet

7. Rear Seat:

The rear seat is placed at the rear area of the hull. It gives a classy look and feels to the family sitters, as it houses a cup holder and an exclusive draw to hold personal things. The outer grill like bars on both sides restricts and protects the infants playing from falling to another side of the hull.

Features used to create Rear Seat

• Sketch
• Project Curve
• Swept Surface
• Loft surface
• Ruled Surface
• Extend Surface
• Surface Knit
• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet
• Pattern

8. Super Structure:

Superstructure means to add construction to an already existing structure. In ships, this is the name given to the part of the ship that emerges from the deck.

Features used to create Super Structure

• Sketch
• Project Curve
• Swept Surface
• Loft surface
• Extruded surface
• Extend Surface
• Fill Surface

Surface Knit

• Surface Trim
• Delete surface
• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet
• Pattern
• Split

9. Radar Mast:

Radar Mast is a pole that supports the radar. It also supports horns for the cruise. It takes its place over superstructure.

Features used to create Radar Mast

• Sketch
• Extrude
• Revolve
• Sweep
• Cut Extrude
• Fillet

Assembly

Assembly is done in the assembly environment by inserting all the modelled parts of Yacht using the insert part option.

Parts of the Yacht are fixed in the assembly environment automatically above the deck surface as they are made in reference to it.

The propeller, garage door, and radar are to be fixed manually by giving required mate conditions.

Mates

It creates geometric relationships between assembly components. As you add mates you define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the components. You can move a component within its degree of freedom and can visualize the behaviour of assembly.

Photorealistic rendering of Yacht

It is a process of creating a 3D model into a realistic image. The rendered image incorporates the appearances, lighting, scene, and decals included with the model.

Rendering in Solid works can be done in two ways:

• Photo view 360
• Solid works visualize

Using Photo view 360 and solidworks visualize renderings of the yacht is done with different views.

FRONT VIEW:

SIDE VIEW:

TOP VIEW:

ISOMETRIC VIEW:

Conclusion

All the parts of the Yacht are modelled and assembled using Solid works.

Rendering of the Yacht was done using Photo view 360 and solidworks visualize.
