Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

1. TITLE:- MODELLING OF SUNSEEKER PREDATOR YACHT
2. OBJECTIVE:- Objective of this project is to model a sunseeker predator yacht. In this project, I will learn about surface modelling. I will use different features and tools like surface extrude, surface swept, surface loft, boundary surface, fill surface, trim surface, extended surface, and ruled surface, etc. This project will also give insight of how big projects are done and not only big things matter but also small details takes so much time.
3. INTRODUCTION:- Back in 1969, in the English seaside town of Poole, Robert Braithwaite dreamt of building a new kind of boat. Using revolutionary materials and technology, his early designs were tailored to a handful of customers, keen to embrace newfound freedoms. When Robert sailed his first little cruiser in 1971, it wasn’t just a boat he launched. It was an entirely new world of boat making. Throughout the decades, Sunseeker has always pursued the more advanced, the more ambitious, the more creative – and consequently, the more successful. Today, Sunseeker International employs a dedicated team of over 2,200 highly skilled designers, engineers and master craftsmen supported by a worldwide network of over 120 retail and service locations, exporting c.150 yachts a year to more than 74 countries. Sunseeker has always stayed true to this thought. With their passion to seek perfection and exceed boundaries stronger than ever. The brand’s enormous global strength can be greatly attributed to its commitment to constantly set new standards and exceed what came before. Breaking new waves. Discovering new horizons.
4. Design Methodology:-

   Flowchart

   

   • Part Modelling:- In part Modelling, I've modelled 9 below mentioned parts:-
   1. Propeller
   2. Radar
   3. Hull
   4. Garage Door
   5. Front seat
   6. Middle seat
   7. Rear seat
   8. Superstructure
   9. Radar mast

   I've used different tools for modelling like sketch, extruded boss, revolved boss, swept boss, lofted boss, extruded cut, revolved cut, swept cut, lofted cut, fillet, chamfer, linear pattern, circular pattern, shell, mirror, dome etc. I've also used surface features like surface extrude, surface loft, surface swept, surface fill, boundary surface, surface extend, ruled surface, trim surface and knit surface etc. for modelling of parts.

   • Assembly:- I've Assembled those 9 modelled parts using a different kind of mates and features. I've used coincident mate, concentric mate, distance mate, limit angle mate, width mates, angle mate, parallel mate, tangent mate etc. mates for assembly of Sunseeker predator yacht.
   • Photo-realistic rendering:- Rendering is a process after which we got an image of real view of the product i.e. after rendering of bike I can see how it will look like in reality after manufacturing. There are different tools available for rendering but I've used Photoview 360, SOLIDWORKS Visualize and Key shot. In rendering different settings of the scene, decals, environment and camera should be done.

Assembly:- After modelling these 9 parts I have assembled them using different mates. I have also put American Chopper Bike in Yacht garage. I have assembled them in the following sequence.

Hull => Superstructure => Radarmast => Front seat => Middle seat => Rear seat => Garage door => Propeller => Radar => American chopper bike assembly

I have used the following mates for assembly:-

• Coincident mate
• Concentric mate

Here are some snapshot of assembly:-

Here are some rendered images of YACHT

Conclusion:- In this project I have learnt about many features of SOLIDWORKS. I have learnt Boss extrude, Sketch making, Swept, Loft, Fillet, chamfer, dome, mirror, pattern etc. I learnt about surface modelling. I will use different features and tools like surface extrude, surface swept, surface loft, boundary surface, fill surface, trim surface, extended surface, and ruled surface, etc. It will help me in my next project of designing.
