OBJECTIVE

The objective is to get detailed understanding of the surface modelling using SOLIDWORKS
To Design individual parts of the yacht with fully defined sketches and appropriate appearance.
To Assemble all the designed parts of the yacht model by assigning suitable constraints.
To Render the yacht model by adding appearance decals lights cameras and background scenes.

INTRODUCTION

SOLIDWORKS is a design automation software and it is published by Dassault System. It is a solid modelling software that allows to design products in three dimensions. It is computer aided design program which helps to draw any simple or complex mechanical shapes or assembling and drawing.

Surface modelling is the method of showing or presenting solid object.The process requires you to convert between different 3D modeling types, such as converting the 3D object to show procedural surfaces, validate imperfections, and apply smoothness.Surface modeling focuses more on the external aspects of an object. It develops an object by stretching a surface over it with 3D curves created by the designer. It is essentially describing the surface boundaries of the object. It allows the viewer to see at each surface point where the solid interior is located.

A yacht is a watercraft used for pleasure and sport. The name comes from the Dutch word jacht means 'hunter', referred as fast, light sailing vessel that the dutch republic navy used to chase pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of low countries .Sun-seeker yacht belong to British Lux-ray performance motor brand who’s originally named as Poole Power Boat later changed name to Sun-seeker International in 1985. It was founded by Robert & John Braithwaite in01969.

Design of the yacht has many components which require surface modelling, hnece taking this project helps in learning surface modelling techniques and its command in solidworks and application of it in real world design.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY OF SUNSEEKER PREDECTOR YACHT

PART MODELLING OF SUNSEEKER PREDECTOR YACHT

1. BLUEPRINT SETUP

Description- Blueprint is basically a design plan or technical drawings of different orthographic views of a product. The main objective of the blueprint is to bring out the exact same shape and form of the product as designed by a designer. It also ensures 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,back view, bottom view and top view are added in the respective planes. One very important thing to note while setting up a blueprint is the size of it. As 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 dimensions or by adjusting the scale bar.

Figure 1 : Shows the Blueprint setup of the yacht model

2. PROPELLER

Description- 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, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid, such as water or air. Propellers are used to pump fluid through a pipe or duct, or to create thrust to propel a boat through water or an aircraft through air. The blades are specially shaped so that their rotational motion through the fluid causes a pressure difference between the two surfaces of the blade by Bernoulli's principle which exerts force on the fluid. Most marine propellers are screw propellers with helical blades rotating on a propeller shaft with an approximately horizontal axis.

ii. LOFT:

The loft feature in SOLIDWORKS allows you generate complex geometry in a single feature. It does this by interpolating surfaces between various cross-sections of a model. These cross-sections can be sketches, faces, or edges. In the loft interface, these cross-sections are considered “Loft Profiles”.

iii. FILLET:

Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face on the part. You can fillet all edges of a face, selected sets of faces, selected edges, or edge loops.

3. RADAR

Description- Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect 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. A radar has a flat antenna that spins, emitting a signal, them listening back for that signal. The return signal bounces back at varying times based on what it may be bouncing off. This is the part used for the GPS and navigation of the ship.

9.SUPERSTRUCTURE

Description- A superstructure is an extruded construction of any building or platform that rises the 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 head up. Thus, superstructure means to add a construction to an already existing structure. It is the part that sits on the deck surface of the yacht. In general, superstructure of a yacht consist of cockpits, mast, tables etc. For the modelling of this superstructure, the deck surface was used as a base so it is directly inserted and fixed in position in the assembly. The curves are sketched as close as the blueprint from two different views and are projected to from a 3D curve. It also includes windows, windscreen wipers, and the back doors.

10. RADAR MAST

Description- 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 ships to the horizon, detecting targets by microwaves reflected from them, generating a picture of the ship’s surrounding on a display screen. A radar has a flat antenna that spins, emitting a signal, them listening back for that signal. The t-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 the objects. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwave domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna and receiver and processor to determine properties of the object. Radio waves from the transmitter reflect off the object an return to the receiver, giving information of the objects location and speed.

ASSEMBLY OF SUNSEEKER PREDECTOR YACHT

The term mechanical assembly is most often referred to putting components together in an assembly line, but more specifically, it refers to creating a complete product that performs an intended function.
In an assembly model, components are brought together to define a larger complex product representation. Assembly modelling is a tool that allows and facilitates the collaboration among designers, analysis people, manufacturing people and others to insure their assembly work together.
You can build simple assemblies as well as complex assemblies consisting of many components, which can be parts or other assemblies, called sub-assemblies.
For most operations, the behaviour of components is the same for both types. Adding a component to an assembly creates a link/mates between the assembly and the component.
When SOLIDWORKS opens the assembly, it finds the component file to show it in the assembly.
Changes in the component are automatically reflected in the assembly i,e. the rebuild option will automatically take place or else it will ask the user to rebuild the document.
The document name extension for assemblies is “.sldasm”.
Mates creates geometric relationships between assembly components. As you add mates, you define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the components. You can move a component within its degrees of freedom, visualizing the assembly's behavior.
The assembly of the yacht consist of all the parts attached in appropriate manner with proper mates such as coincident, concentric, perpendicular, tangent and distance mates.
The main component is first fixed and other parts are mated with respect to its position.

Assembly Approaches in Solidworks:

Top-Down Approach
Bottom-up Approach

Top-Down Approach

In Top-Down design, parts, shapes, sizes, and locations can be designed in the assembly environment itself.
The advantage of the top-down design is that much less rework is needed when design change occur.
The parts know how to update themselves based on the way you created them i.e, by using an external reference such as converted entities etc.
You can use top-down approach techniques on certain features of the part, complete parts or entities assemblies.
In practice, designers typically use top-down techniques to layout their assemblies and to capture key aspects of custom parts specific to their assemblies.

Bottom-Up Approach

Bottom-up design is the traditional method. You will first design and model parts individually, then insert them into an assembly and use mates to position the parts. To change the parts, you must edit them individually. These changes are then seen in the assembly.
Bottom-up design is the preferred technique for previously constructed, off-the shelf parts, or standard components like hardware, pulleys, motors,etc. These parts do not change their shape and size base on your design unless you choose a different component.
If there is any interference in assembly or changes required in the assembly you need to modify the components individually either in the assembly level or parts document level.

RENDERING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER MOTORCYCLE

Rendering is the process of creating realistic images of the photo-realistic model with the environment.
Rendering of the model is done using PhotoView 360 and Solidworks Visualize.

PHOTOVIEW 360

PhotoView 360 is a virtualization and rendering solution included with SOLIDWORKS.
Providing a highly interactive environment for viewing designs as well as for creating photo-realistic renderings that can be used to showcase your designs.
Photo View 360 is a SOLIDWORKS add-in that produces photo-realistic renderings of SOLIDWORKS models.
The rendered image incorporates the appearances, lighting, scene, and decals included with the model.
Photo View 360 is available with SOLIDWORKS Professional or SOLIDWORKS Premium.
PhotoView360 creates realistic images directly from the Solidworks models.
PhotoView360 interacts with the 3D geometry created with Solidworks. All changes to Solidworks models are accurately represented in the PhotoView360 images.

Procedure for Rendering the model

With a model open, click Tools > Add-In and add in Photo View 360.
Start a preview in the graphics area or open the preview window to see how changes you make to the model affect the rendering.
Edit appearnce, the scene, and decals.
Edit lights.
By default, lighting is off in Photo View. With lights off, you can use the realistic lighting provided by scenes, which is usually sufficient for rendering. You typically need additional lighting in Photo View to illuminate occluded spaces in the model.
Edit photo view option.
When you are ready, perform a final render either now (Photo View > Final Render) or later (Photo View > Schedule Render).
If annotations or dimensions are visible in your model, a dialog box appears with options to include the dimensions and annotations or render without them.
If you have not added a camera or turned-on perspective view, which provide more realistic, higher quality renderings, a dialog box appears. You can turn on a camera or perspective view from the dialog box or continue without them.
Make detailed adjustments in the Final Render Window.
Below figures show the rendering images of the Sunseeker Predector Yacht using PhotoView 360.
