Assembly of Yacht

AIM: - To model a sunseeker predator Yatch

INTRODUCTION: - The sunseeker Yatch is modelled using solid works and it has the following components

• Hull
• Propeller
• Radar
• Front seat
• Middle seat
• Rear seat
• Superstructure
• Radar mast

Below are the rendered images and each component is discussed in detailed in the coming sections.

HULL

The hull is the water tight body of the ship which houses the superstructure. The hull lines are formulated using the lines plan. These are calculated and then the hull shape is draw from these lines. In this model these lines are taken from the blue print drawings.

The Commands used for the hull are

• Surface extrude
• Trim sheet
• Trim and extend
• Projected Curve
• Reference Plane
• Surface Loft
• Offset Surface
• Shell
• Cut extrude
• Boss extrude
• Mirror
• Split line

SUPERSTRUCTURE

Superstructure is the portion above the hull. It houses the cabins and the control rooms of the Yatch. the commands used in the modelling of the superstructure are

• Surface extrude
• Trim sheet
• Trim and extend
• Projected Curve
• Reference Plane
• Surface Loft
• Offset Surface
• Shell
• Thicken
• Cut extrude
• Boss extrude
• Mirror
• Split line

FRONT, MIDDLE AND REAR SEATS

These seats are provided in the luxury Yatch at the forward, midship and aft of the vessel. The Commands used in the modelling of these structures are

• Surface extrude
• Trim sheet
• Trim and extend
• Projected Curve
• Reference Plane
• Surface Loft
• Offset Surface
• Shell
• Thicken
• Cut extrude
• Boss extrude
• Mirror
• Split line

RADAR MAST AND RADAR

These are provided for communication and navigation purpose for the vessel. The radar mast has the navigation lights, the fog horns and the radar for navigation. The commands used in the modelling of these are

• Boss extrudes
• Project curve
• Revolve
• Circular pattern
• Dome
• Mirror

PROPELLER

The propeller is a device with rotating hub and blades that when rotated provided a linear thrust. Below commands are sued to model the propeller

• Revolve
• Extrude cut
• Circular pattern
• Fillet
• Extrude etc.
