SURFACE MODELING OF YACHT
Introduction:
Surface modelling is a mathematical method usually provided in computer-aided design applications for displaying solid-appearing objects. Surface modelling makes it possible for users to look at the specific object at specific angles with solid surfaces.
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 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.
Objective:
The objective of this project is used to create a surface model of different parts of the Yacht and assemble them using Solidworks.
Parts to be modelled for Yacht:
The following parts of the Yacht are modelled in Solidworks and assembled together.
- Propeller
- Radar
- Blue Print
- Hull
- Garage Door
- Front Seat
- Middle Seat
- Rear Seat
- Super Structure
- Radar Mast
- Propeller:
A Propeller is a fan mechanism that transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust. Usually consisting of 3 or more blades.
Features used to create Propeller
- Sketch
- Revolve
- Cut Extrude
- Loft
- Fillet
- Circular Pattern
- Radar:
Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect other ships and land obstacles.
Features used to create Radar
- Sketch
- Extrude
- Mirror
- Cut Extrude
- Fillet
- Sketch driven pattern
- Hull:
A hull is the watertight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open at the top or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck.
Features used to create Hull
- Sketch
- Project Curve

- Shell
- Garage Door:
Garage door is used to close the garage part in Hull.
Features used to create Garage Door
- Insert
- Shell

- Radar Mast:
Radar mast is a mount for radar, radar antenna and radio transmitter.

Assembly:
The parts of the Yacht are inserted into the assembly environment. The possible mate conditions are given to the yacht and the yacht is assembled.
Conclusion:
Hence, the surface model of different parts of the yacht is created and inserted to the assembly and assembling is done.
