Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

ASSEMBLY & RENDERING OF YACHT

Objective-To Model Radar Mast and assemble the yacht using solid works & To Learn Surface Modelling.

Introduction-A yacht is a sailing or power vessel used for pleasure, cruising, or racing.There is no standard definition, so the term applies to such vessels that have cabin with amenities that accomodate overnight use.

Design Methodology-Here I Model & Design,

  • Propeller
  • Radar

SUPERSTRUCTURE

To Model Superstructure first I open blueprint of yacht then I Use Deck surface of hull, and apply Surface Extrude, Surface sweep, Surface loft, surface knit, Ruled Surface , projected curves, Surface fill,Surface knit on Planes 1, Again make Reference plane 2, 3, 4, 5 upto 14 and apply same features like 3d sketch, Surface fill, Surface extend, surface offset, Cut extrude, Boss extrude, Thicken, extrude thin, Dome, fillets and Mirror to make Remaining parts of superstructure. All Feature used here is Surface Modelling feature.

Features

  • Surface loft-Loft surfaces are surfaces generated by multiple 3D Curves or Existing edges Creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves.
  • Ruled surface-Ruled surface is normal to the surfaces that sharp an edge. Ruled surface is tapered to the specific vector. Ruled surface is perpendicular to the specified vector.Ruled surface is built by creating a swept surface using selecting edges as guide curves.
  • Surface offset-The offset surface tool creates a new surface body from an existing set of faces.The face may be solid or surface face.

RADAR MAST-To model radar mast, I take superstructure surface body, then I create a line and make reference plane, selecting line as 1st reference and mid plane as 2nd, now I apply Boss extrude and fillets. Again I make 2nd Plane and apply all features to make antenna and plane 3,4 and 5 to make all Remaining parts of Radar mast like Horn, lights etc and apply mirror.

Features

  • Boss Extrude
  • Sweep
  • Shell
  • Fillets

Adding decals on the Hull-Now I add decals on Hulls, main floor, Hatch and on stairs

ASSEMBLY OF YACHT-Now After Modelling all parts of yacht, I assemble all parts of yacht using Coincident mates, and Concentric mates.

Rendering Of Yacht-Now I Rendered the yacht using Photoview 360 in Isometric view, top view, front view, Side view, and Camera view.
