SURFACE MODELING OF YACHT

Objective:

The objective of this project is used to create a surface modelof different parts of the Yacht using Solid works.
To assemble the different parts modelled for the Yacht.

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.

Surface Modelling:

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

The following parts of the Yacht are modelled in Solid works 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

Sketch

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 center line, line, or edge to use as the axis around which the feature revolves.

Circular Pattern

Circular pattern is used to create a pattern of the propeller. By using this multiple patterns are created.

Loft

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

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

Extrude cut

Extrude cut is another cool feature which 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

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.

Super Structure :

Super structure 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.
