Image for the predator Sunseeker yacht

Objective: To design a Sunseeker predator yacht with the help of solid works from scratch.

Parts to be modeled

  • Propeller
  • Radar
  • Garage door
  • Front seats
  • Hull
  • Middle seats
  • Radar mast
  • Rear seats
  • Superstructure

Commands used while designing the yacht

  • Sketch: This gives us the ability to design/draw onto any surface or plane. Represented on the feature tree
  • Extrude: Converts any 2D sketch into a solid model body
  • Offset: Converts a line or chain of the sketch by having a difference between them by a certain amount.
  • Extrude Cut: Creates a sketch on a body to remove out unnecessary details.
  • Trim Entities: This feature helps to cut down unwanted sketch lines created while sketching
  • Revolve: Creates a solid revolve around a particular axis.
  • Fillet: Adds around the edge to a solid body with respect to a certain amount required.
  • Loft: This feature lets you create a solid body regardless of the sketch and follows the path.
  • Dome: Adds a dome-shaped structure to a particular face.
  • Shell: Adds a shell feature to a particular body, adding hollowness to it. Respective of its size.
  • Linear Pattern: Creates a single or one of its kind to make copies of its feature with a given dimension to move across over the selected body linearly.
  • Mirror: Converts sketch entities/bodies mirrored onto an opposite plane.
  • Chamfer: Adds a cut to the body from a particular edge up to a distance.
  • Circular Pattern: To make copies of its features and move along circularly along the selected body.
  • Project Curve: To create a projected curve with respect to the sketches that tend to project out to the planes
  • Sweep: Creates a feature by sweeping an open and closed profile along an open or closed path
  • Loft Surface: Feature Create a lofted surface of profiles.
  • Surface trim: Deletes unnecessary extrudes with the help of a trim tool
  • Surface extend: extends the edges of a surface with given specific dimensions
  • Surface fill: fills in a surface sketch into a solid mass/body
  • Surface knit: Knits the surfaces together leaving no gap in between them

Rendering Image for the Yacht

Conclusion:

The following methods show us that the yacht was designed from scratch. This shows us how to basically model anything with the right skill knowledge. The final parts were then assembled using all the necessary mates along with distance, coincident, width, and concentric relations, making this into an assembled yacht.

This completes the report for the detailed structure of the Sunseeker Predator yacht
