Design and Render of Yacht
1. AIM: To design a model of Yacht using Solidworks and Rendering by using Solidworks Visualize.
2. Objective:
- To design a Individual component of a Yacht by using Solidworks in Part mode.
- To design a Assembly by inserting all the components into the Solidworks Assembly and constraint them using available mates.
- To assign decals, lights, camera etc.
- By inserting this model into Solidworks Visualize and render the model with various environments.
3. Introduction:
Solidworks:
SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create models and assemblies. The software is written on Parasolid-kernel.
Building a model in SolidWorks usually starts with a 2D sketch (although 3D sketches are also available). The sketch consists of geometry such as points, lines, arcs, conics (except the hyperbola), and splines. Dimensions are added to the sketch to define the size and location of the geometry. Relations are used to define attributes such as tangency, parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of SolidWorks means that the dimensions and relations drive the geometry, not the other way around. The dimensions in the sketch can be controlled independently, or by relationships to other parameters inside or outside the sketch.
In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch relations define conditions such as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch geometry, assembly mates define equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts or components, allowing the easy construction of assemblies. SolidWorks also includes additional advanced mating features such as gear and cam follower mates, which allow modeled gear assemblies to accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual gear train.
Finally, drawings can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and tolerances can then be easily added to the drawing as needed. The drawing module includes most paper sizes and standards.
Solidworks Visualize:
Soliworks Visualize is a tool which helps in rendering the models. We have several options like Adding a Camera, Changing environment, Background, changing Appearances of the model.
4. Design Methodology:
FlowChart:
- We have created each individual part of this model in Soliworks.
- After finishing the all components, We started creating sub assemblies.After sub assemblies We created a final assembly.
- We insert all our components/sub-assemblies into the environment of SW assembly and constraint them using different Mates/Conditons available.
5. Description
- We will discuss each part individually and we will discuss the commands used in that part.

Features Used:
- Firstly We insert a hull part, it will automatically fix.
- And import the Supertructure and click ok without clicking anywhere. It will automatically fixed to the hull because we used surface of the hull to create superstructure.
- Similary Import the Radarmast, Front seat, Middle Seat. It will automatically fix to the hull
- Remaining parts are fixed by using Respective mates.
Mates Used:
- Coincident: Makes two surfaces coincident with each other.
- Concentric: Applies concentric relation between two different circular profiles.
- Distance:It Fixes two faces/edges/points at a specified distance.
7. Rendering:
- Using Photoview 360:
- We can apply decals
Here We applied Decals to two parts
- Hull
Main floor Yacht Front Stair step
- SuperStructure
Jacuzzi Stair Step Jacuzzi Stair Step2
- We can view scenes, and add lights and cameras.
