Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

LOFTED BOSE/BASE:-

Lofted Surfaces create a lofted surface between two or more profiles or sketches. Specify start and end constraints and add guide curves to control the path shape.

• The center portion of the Propeller was sketched and revolved using Revolved Boss/Base.
• Then the Blades were created using the Reference Plane, Lofted Boss/Base and Fillet.
• Then the remaining five blades were created by using Circular Pattern.
• Then the center circular portion was removed using Extruded Cut option.
• Finally the part was saved by adding the appearance.

• RADAR:-

Features used to create Radar:-

In Sketch

• Line
• Circle
• Point
• Text

In Features

• Fillet
• Extruded Boss/Base
• Mirror
• Sketch Pattern
• Extruded Cut
• Split Line

EXTRUDE BOSS/BASE:-

One of the oldest commands in the SOLIDWORKS software is the boss/base extrude command. An Extruded Boss/Base feature will allow you to take a 2D sketch and add thickness to it in the third dimension. Every few releases, this feature gets some terrific functionality added to it.

SPLIT LINE:-

The SOLIDWORKS Split Line tool is used to project an entity (sketch, solid, surface, face, plane, or surface spline) onto other surfaces or curved/planar faces. You are also able to split faces on multiple bodies with one command.

PROCEDURE TO CREATE A MODEL OF RADAR:-

• By drawing the required sketch the body of the Radar was created using Extruded Boss/Base.
• By using the Sketch Pattern the four Dotted holes were created using Extruded Boss/Base and Extruded
  Cut.
• The Radar has a circular slot underneath which was created using the Extruded Cut.
• The other half was mirrored with the help of mirror tool.
• The Text over the Radar was created using the Text option in sketch and then the Split Line was used to
  generate over the face of the radar.
• At last the radar must be filleted around the edges of the body and also around the four holes.
• Finally the part was saved by adding appearances.

HULL:-

A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top, or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop 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.

PROCEDURE TO CREATE A MODEL OF HULL:-

• The first step for modeling the Yacht was creating a blueprint of it.Then the blue print was placed at the
  required planes, by using it first the hull was designed.
• To get the shape of the hull the projected curve was produced by drawing the required sketch using splines with the help of blueprint.
• Then the curves were lofted to create a lofted surface and the remaining unwanted surface was trimmed using surface trim.
• Then the back portion of the hull were the propeller needs to be placed was extruded using Extruded Surface and all the surface created must be Knitted together to remove the gaps between the surfaces.
• Then the offset option was used and another surface was created and both surface was filled using surface fill to create the outer shell of the hull which will be converted into a solid body at last.
• Shell feature was used to create the front portion of the hull where the deck surface meets. Then the deck surface was created using Extruded Boss/Base and Extruded Cut.
• Then the required chamfers and fillets were created wherever necessary. All the windows and Portholes were created using Extruded Cut and Fillets were add around the edges.
• For creating the smooth edges around the berth window the reference plane were created and a circle for required dimensions were make pierced and then swept around the edge of the windows.
• The Rails at the bottom of the yacht were created using Extruded Boss/Base and the chamfers were
  applied both the sides.
• The Cable Rollers were created using Extruded Boss/Base and Swept Boss/Base and the head part of it was created using Revolved Boss/Base and Extruded Cut was used to cut through the extrude and a Dome was created over it.
• Helix/Spiral sketch was created to sweep the rope around the Cable Rollers. By using Slot option the Rope hangers were extruded and the dome was applied and then the Linear Pattern was used to create one more.
• The window bars were created using Extruded Boss/Base & the staircase was created by using extruded boss/base and the hand support bar was created using Swept Boss/Base.
• The Railings around the Hull was generated with the help of blueprint and the projected curve was produced and the railing reference was swept using Swept Boss/Base.
• The Axles for the propeller and the surfer were created using Revolved Boss/Base option and using the 3d sketch.
• The Anchors were created by sketching the first half and extruded using Extruded Boss/Base and the
  other half was mirrored.
• Finally the Garage Portion was created by using Extruded Cut and the portion was saved for later use by using Split option. By using the Split line option the Painting portion for our hull was split separately.
• Then the other half of the Hull and the Axle of the surfer and propeller was mirrored to form the complete hull using Mirror tool.
• Now the part was saved by adding proper appearances and fillets.

• GARAGE DOOR:-

Opening up the side of the yacht offers a huge amount of additional possibilities to the yacht, such as tender storage, beach clubs and others. Cramm doors are highly reliable even under the toughest sea conditions. The design of the yacht door is based on a 3D model of the client’s yacht, and custom-made in aluminium, steel or stainless steel to enable differing shapes, sizes and weights.

Features used to create Garage Door:-

• Shell
• Fillet
• Text
• Spline
• Extruded Cut
• Mirror
• Reference Plane

PROCEDURE TO CREATE A MODEL OF GARAGE DOOR:-

• The solid body split while creating the Hull was imported to model the Garage Door.
• Then by using the shell feature the solid body for our garage door was created and proper fillets were
  applied.
• By using the Extruded Cut the Chamfered face for the door was created.
• Then the door holders on both sides were created using Extruded Cut.
• Then the second half of the Garage Door was created using Mirror tool after applying the required fillets.
• Then the text over the garage door "YATCH TUTORIAL.COM" was created using the text option in sketch feature.
• Finally the part was saved by applying proper appearance.

SUPER STRUCTURE:-

On water craft, the superstructure consists of the parts of the ship or a boat, including sailboats, Passenger Ships and Submarines that project above her main deck. It is a decked structure on freeboard deck.

Features used to create Super Structure:-

• 3D Sketch
• Spline
• Center Point Arc
• Swept Surface
• Ruled Surface
• Knit Surface
• Trim Surface
• Extend Surface
• Fill Surface
• Lofted Surface
• Extruded Surface
• Fillet
• Chamfer

Trim Surface - It trims the surfaces where a surface intersect with another surface, a plane or a sketch.

Knit Surface - It combines two or more adjacent, non-intersecting surfaces into a single surface body. The surfaces must joint at an edge. If the resulting knit surface encloses a volume, we can create a solid body from the Property Manager.

Move/copy surfaces- Moves or copy surfaces about a plane or a sketch.

Offset Surface - Offsets surfaces using one or more contiguous faces. This tool helps us to create an offset surface with gaps.

Lofted Surfaces-Creates a lofted surface between two or more profiles or sketches. Specify start and end constraints and add guide curves to control the path shape.

Boundary Surfaces-The boundary surface feature lets us to create surfaces that can be tangent or curvature continuous in both directions (all sides of the surface). In most cases, this delivers a higher quality result than the loft tool.

Extruded Surfaces- Extrudes a sketch or selected sketch contours in one or two directions two create a surface features.

Revolved Surfaces- Revolves a sketch or selected sketch contours around an axis to create a surface features.

Swept Surfaces- It Sweeps a closed profile along an open or closed path to create a surface feature. It uses a tangent plane at the end of the path so that the path is normal to the swept surface.

Filled Surfaces- 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.You can use this feature to construct a surface to fill a gap in a model.

PROCEDURE USED TO CREATE A MODEL OF SUPER STRUCTURE:-

• The deck surface from the hull was imported and the superstructure was modelled over it.
• The side surface of the Superstructure was created by using Extruded Surface, Lofted Surface, Filled Surface, Trim Surface and Knit Surface.
• The Front side of the Superstructure was designed to have four rest beds which were created using Extruded Boss/Base, Fillets and Dome.
• The front edge of the superstructure was provided with a Water Feature which was created using Extruded Boss/Base, Extruded Cut, and filled with a water appearance.
• The Windshield was created by Extruded Cut and the wipers were created by using 3D sketch and reference plane with the help of Swept Boss/Base.
• The Portholes for the Superstructure were created by using Extruded Surface, Trim Surface and Extend Surface.
• Ruled Surface was used to fill the left out edges.
• The Back Doors of the Superstructure was created using Extruded Cut, Fillets and Reference Plane.
• Then all the surfaces generated were Knitted together to form a solid body. The Superstructure consist of two surface bodies and five solid bodies.
• One of the surface was the Deck Surface the other one was used to place the Radar Mast so it wasrenamed as Radar Mast reference Surface.
• Then the other half was mirrored and the proper fillets and appearance was added and finally the part was saved.

FRONT, MIDDLE & REAR SEAT:-

Front seats feature two connected seats that are built back-to-back from one and other. They have a built-in storage unit underneath them. Lounge seats can also fully recline right back to make it easier for you to kick your feet up and pads are a great way to reclaim lost space on our boat.

The middle seat in our model was placed just behind the superstructure. It is provided with a luxury table to dine out. It can also be used to have casual meetings with co-passengers.

The rear seat was placed at the end of the deck surface. The rear seat consist of locker racks and steel doors for our stairs. The flag was also placed behind the rear seat since it's the end part of our yacht. To have a nice view from the yacht while having a drink the rear seat was also provided with a slots to rest the glass or mug.

RADARMAST:-

It does so by detecting other ships and land obstacles, to give bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation while on water. A marine radar device acts as a major navigation aid for boaters. It helps in detecting boats, birds, landmasses, and weather systems - even if the visibility is less than usual.

ASSEMBLING:-

An assembly is a document in which parts, features, and other assemblies (sub- assemblies) are mated together. The parts and subassemblies exist in documents separate from the assembly. For example, in an assembly, a piston can be mated to other parts, such as a connecting rod or cylinder. This new assembly can then be used as a sub-assembly in an assembly of an engine.

ASSEMBLING PROCEDURE:-

• Import all the parts manually by using Insert Components option.
• Then fix the Hull part by applying the coincident mate to the Top, Right and Front planes of the Assembly and Hull respectively.
• Then for each part apply the necessary mates required by the Blueprint using Coincident mates, Angle Mates, Distance mates etc.
• Advanced mate was also used wherever required.

Smart Mate - A Smart mate is an assembly mating relation that is created automatically.

Mate - A mate isa geometric relationship, such as coincident, perpendicular, tangent, and so on, between parts in an assembly.

Mate group- A mate group is a collection of mates that are solved together. The order in which the mates appear within the mate group does not matter.

RENDERING:-

Rendering of the Solidworks model is done using PhotoView 360 and Solidworks Visualize.

PhotoView 360 is a visualization and rendering solution included with SOLIDWORKS. Providing a highly

interactive environment for viewing designs as well as for creating photo-realistic renderings it can be used to showcase our designs.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize (formerly known as Bunkspeed) provides a suite of standalone software tools that combine industry-leading rendering capabilities with visual design-oriented features and workflows, allowing easy and fast creation of visual content that communicates a design's vision, passion, and emotion.

PHOTO VIEW 360:-

PhotoView 360 is a software package, separate to Solidworks, which generates digital lifelike images (photorealistic images) from SolidWorks files. PhotoView 360 is an easy and quick way to produce high quality photorealistic images.

Environments- Environments can be looked upon as backdrops and can be applied in a similar manner as the appearances are applied to faces or parts.

Appearances - There are a wider range of appearances in PhotoView 360 than in SolidWorks. If we wish to change an appearance just drag and drop the chosen appearance onto the part and it will replace the existing one.

Lighting- Lights may be added in the same waya photographer adds lights when taking photographs. PhotoView 360 uses the same lights as SolidWorks but also uses lighting from the rendering environment or scene. PhotoView 360 has the sophistication to trace light rays and reflections.

Scenes - Each SolidWorks model is associated with a PhotoView 360 scene, for which you can specify properties such as environments and backgrounds. Scenes help to put products in context.

Decals- Images, such as company logos, can be applied to models.

Output- The rendered output from PhotoView 360 can be viewed on the screen, or saved to a graphics file.

Options - PhotoView 360 has its own options. ptions allow you to customize the PhotoView 360 settings to reflect your preferences. Options are divided into Output Image Settings, Render Quality,Bloom, Contour Rendering and Direct Caustics.
