Introduction:
Solid-works: Solid works is a product of Dassault systems. It is a software used for designing, assembling and real time rendering of the real time models. Any kind of complicated and sensitive designs can be easily modeled using the tools and interface of this software. The basic tools and its usage are explained in the description section
Yacht: A yacht is a Watercraft used for pleasure or sports. The term originates from the Dutch word yacht (which means "hunt'), and originally referenced light, fast sailing vessels that the Dutch Republic navy used to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. The yacht was popularized by Charles ll of England as a pleasure or recreation vessel following his restoration in 1660.
Today's yachts are almost exclusively for leisure A yacht is any sail or power vessel used for pleasure, cruising, or racing. The word often connotes luxury; however, luxury is not a quality necessary to meet the definition, nor is it always desirable. Many racing yachts are stripped out vessels with a minimum of accommodations to lower weight. The term 'sailboat' or 'sail yacht' is used in America to differentiate from a powerboat' or 'power yacht' As of December 2018, there were about 6,500 yachts over 24m on the market.

Commands Used:
- Line: This feature allows us to create a straight line. The line can be a solid line or
- Circle: This feature allows us to create circles.
- Rectangle: This feature allows us to create squares or rectangles.
- Spline: This allows us to make curved lines
- Curve Projection: this is used for the projection of the curves made in different planes to create an intersected curve
- Arc: This allows us to create arc.
- Projected Curve: It is a very powerful tool which can project two different 2D splines from two different planes into a single spline or a curve in 3D which can meet our need. It is the most often used feature before creating any surface.
- Split: This feature is used to split to bodies using a sketch
- Trim: This is used to trim sketches.
- Extend: This feature allows us to extend the sketches
- Extrude Bose: This feature allows us to create solid bodies.
- Extrude cut: This feature allows us to create cuts or holes of any shape in the solid body.
- Swept Bose: This feature allows us to make a solid body along a curve path or create a curved solid body.
- This feature allows us to create exact copy of the solid body using a reference plane or face.
- Revolve: This allows us to create revolve solid body around an axis.
- Linear Pattern: This allows us to create a pattern in a straight line.
- Circular Pattern: This allows us to create a pattern in a circle
- Fillet: This is used to create circular edges.
- Chamfer: This is used to create inclined edges.
- Plane: This feature is used to create new planes.
- Loft: This feature allows us to make solid bodies with uneven geometry,
- Dome: This feature is used to make a dome shaped solid over a flat solid body.
- Shell: This is use to make a hollow solid body
- Mirror Entities: This is use to create a mirror of sketch.
- Split Entities: This is used to split a line into two or more parts.
- Split line: the Split line is used to divide parts into multiple bodies. You can use the Split line feature to save the new bodies when you split the part or use the Save Bodies to save them after the split is complete.
- Convert Entities - Converts selected model edges or Sketch entities into Sketch segments, Loft this is creates a feature by making transitions between profiles. A loft can be a base, boss, cut, or surface. We can create a loft using two or more profiles. For a solid loft, the first and last profiles must be model faces or faces created by split lines, planar profiles, or surfaces.
- Fillet: this is creates a rounded internal or external face on the part. We can fillet all edges of a face, selected sets of faces, selected edges, or edge loops. • Helix: this is create a helix or spiral curve in a part. The curve can a lofted feature be used as a path or guide curve for a swept feature, or a guide curve for.
- Loft Surface: Loft Surfaces are surfaces generated by multiple 3D Curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangent between the selected curves.
- Surface trim: It is used to cut away material from a surface, and provides two modes: Standard and Mutual. Extend Surface it is used to extend the surface which is already created. There are different options available on the extended surface. We can extend the surface as same surface or we can extend the surface tangent to the surface.
- Surface knit: It is used to knit the two free edges/open edges of the surfaces together Also it reduces the gap between the two edges of the surface.
- Sweep Surfaces: This is surfaces that are generated from a section curve positioned along a path.
- Filled Surface: This Surface feature constructs a surface patch with any number of sides, within a boundary defined edges, sketches, or curves, including composite curves by existing model
- Ruled surface: It is used to obtain the extruded surface perpendicular to the plane and can be titled in certain angle.
- Rollback: Rollback is yet another powerful tool that allows going back to any phase of design in case if we need to edit or add some features later. We can use roll-up bar while removing errors too. This reduces the rebuild time and avoids further errors in the children features.
- Combine
- Combining Bodies - Add:
In a multibody part, you can combine multiple bodies to create a single
- Combining Bodies - Subtract:
In a multibody part, you can subtract one or more bodies from another body • Combining Bodies
- Common:
In a multibody part, you can create a body defined by the intersection of multiple bodies.
- Combine Property Manager:
In the Combine Property Manager, you specify which bodies in a multibody part to add, subtract, or overlap.
- Delete/Keep Body:
You can select bodies to keep or delete using the Delete/Keep Body feature. This is useful in working with multibody parts with multiple configurations.
Design and Methodology
- Blueprint Setup
Blueprint is basically a design plan or technical drawings of different orthographic views of a product. The main motto of the blueprint is to bring out the exact same shape and form of the product as designed by a designer. It also the accuracy and the proportion of the product. Designing a product without a blueprint may lead to multiple errors, unnatural proportions and improper dimensions. A proper blueprint setup omits all those problems. To set up a blueprint, we use sketch mode in SOLIDWORKS in each plane. In this case, the images provided for the front view, side view, top view, back view, and top views are added in respective planes. One very important thing to note while setting up a blueprint is the size of it. all the parts are going to be designed laying up the blueprint and taking its reference, it is very crucial to maintain the correct and real size of the blueprint in the very first step. It can either be adjusted manually with the dimensions or by adjusting the scale bar.
Methodology
- Select a Plane & select a 2d drawing option & go to Tools- Sketch Tool-Sketch Picture.
- Browse the Image & change the dimensions as per requirement & use transparency tab & chose full image for convenient sketching & name the views
- Repeat the above steps & name it as Front view, side view, Top view, Back view.
- change the names of the planes as front plane, bottom plane & mid plane & Arrange the blue prints in a sequential order.
- Hull:
A hull is the watertight body of a ship or 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 superstructure, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
Hull is the main part of the Yacht. It is the giant component which extends 108ft long. It is the structure which holds all the other components of a marine vehicle. It is the part which is enclosed and water-lift is created for the movement of the vehicle on the surface of the water. The curves are sketched as close as the blueprints from 2 different views and are projected to form a 3D curve. 3D sketches are also used in this part. The Hull for this Yacht was created using the surfaces made out of the projected curves using the blueprints sketches. It consists of parts
like railings, bow, deck, pulpit, anchor, garage, windows, etc There is a wide variety of hull types that are chosen for suitability for different usages, the hull shape being dependent upon the needs of the design. Shapes range from a nearly perfect box in the case of scow barges, to a needle-sharp surface of revolution in the case of a racing multihull sailboat. The shape is chosen to strike a balance between cost, hydro static considerations (accommodation, load carrying and stability), hydrodynamics (speed, power requirements, and motion and behaviour in a seaway) and special considerations for the ship's role, such as the rounded bow of an ice breaker or the flat bottom of a landing craft.

- Superstructure
A superstructure is an extended construction of any building or platform that rises above the rest of the building or platform in a distinct manner. The word comes from a combination of two Latin words, the Latin prefix 'super means in addition or above or in excess of whereas the stem word structure means to build or to heap up. Thus, superstructure means to add a construction to an already existing structure. In ships this is the name given to the part of the ship that emerges from the deck. However, any mast, sails, any armaments or arsenal are not included in this category.
The size of the superstructure has a great influence on the mobility of the vessels. They are designed in a manner, so that, they add value and hinder the speed and mobility in the least. The superstructure is mostly designed in fashion as well. This is because it is the most easily visible part of the ship, in fact it is the identification of the ship, and so the designers try to provide it with the identity that is unique.
It is the part that sits on the deck surface of the Yacht. In general, the superstructure of a Yacht consists of cockpits, mast, tables etc. For the modelling of this superstructure, the deck surface was used as the base so it directly inserted and fixed in position in the assembly. The curves are sketched as close as the blueprints from 2 different views and are projected to form a 3D curve 3D sketches are also used in this part. Windows and the windscreen wipers are also included in this part. Back doors and the windows are provided with dark coloured glass.

- Radar
Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect other ships and land obstacles, to provide bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation at sea. They are electronic navigation instruments that use a rotating antenna to sweep a narrow beam of microwaves around the water surface surrounding the ship to the horizon, detecting targets by microwaves reflected from them, generating a picture of the ship's surroundings on a display screen. A Radar has a flat antenna that spins, emitting a signal, then listening back for that signal The return signal bounces back at varying times based on what it may be bouncing off.
it has a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect air crafts, ships, spacecrafts, guided missile, motor vehicles, weather formation, and Terrell. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.

- Create a plane using Front Plane as a reference by offsetting it. - Draw a sketch on created Plane by drawing Horizontal Center line and insert Text in Text box, do cut extrude.
- Finally give Appearance to Door and Text.
- Propeller
A Propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that when rotated, performs an action which is similar to Archimedes' screw. It transforms rotational power into linear thrust by acting upon a working fluid, such as water or air. The rotational motion of the blades is converted into thrust by creating a pressure difference between the two surfaces. A given mass of working fluid is accelerated in one direction and the craft moves in the opposite direction. Propeller dynamics, like those of aircraft wings, can be modelled by Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third law. Most marine propellers are screw propellers with helical blades rotating on a propeller shaft with an approximately horizontal axis. The sketch profiles are created with provided dimensions and the features are applied.
There are three instances of the propeller at the bottom of the yacht.
Features used to Create Propeller
o Sketch
o Line
o Circle
o Loft
o Rectangle
o Revolve
o Circular Pattern
o Fillet
o Extrude cut
Methodology
Right Plane - Draw 2 horizontal lines, 1 vertical line & a spline connecting left end points of horizontal lines and revolve it.
- Create a new plane, Top plane as reference at an offset of 360mm.
- Top Plane - Draw a 3-point rectangle at an angle of 74from bottom edge of revolve.
- New Plane - Draw one more 3-point rectangle at an angle of 14 degree from similar edge.
- Using above two sketches create a loft surface & apply fillet.
- Draw a circle on bottom face of revolve and do cut extrude, apply fillet.
- Do circular pattern of above above features in feature scope with 6 no. of instances.
- Give Appearance to the part of light red colour changing RGB values to 71/45/0.
- Assembly
The assembly of the Yacht is quite simple since we have taken the base deck surface for the most of the parts it gets mated automatically although some mates are used to assemble the Yacht.
Mates Used
o Coincident
o Concentric
o Angle Limit
Steps to be followed for Assembly
- All Designed Parts to be inserted one by one as per requirement.
- Apply Mate Conditions with respective parts for giving exact location in Assembly.
- In this assembly Only Rear seat, Radar and Propeller are to located using coincident and Concentric relations with respective Parts. Other Parts are already fixed (Using Surfaces as references) so no need of giving separate mate conditions.
- Final Rendering:
In this our Yacht Assembly rendered to make it more realistic using Solid-works
Methodology
o Import - Import assembly once created a new project.
o Appearance - Give appropriate appearances to various parts to make more attractive after rendering.
o Scenes - Use Proper Back Plates/Environment as scenes and drag the assembly at proper location.
o Decals: Graphics or designs used
o Lights & cameras. To adjust lighting and set camera
o Output - Once done with all setup, a quick render helps you out to review final output. Changes the colours by increasing/decreasing various values for better look (if required). Then go for final quality rendering
CONCLUSION
To conclude, design, assembly and rendering of the Sun seeker Predator Yacht are done using SOLIDWORKS.
