- PROPELLER:
A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades, 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.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPELLER:
SKETCH - Create a new sketch or edit the existing sketch, also includes the com mand of line, circle, arc, slot, spline, etc.
REVOLVE - To create a revolve feature: Create a sketch that contains one or more profiles and a centerline, line, or edge to use as the axis around which the feature revolves.
LOFT - Add material between 2 or more profile to create a solid feature.
CUT EXTRUDE - Cut a solid model by extruding a sketched profile in one or two directions.

- RADAR:
Radar (RADIO DETECTION AND RANGING) is a device used for detect objects and their position relative to your current location. A Marine radar device acts as a major navigation aid for boater. It helps in detecting boats, birds, landmasses, and weather systems-even if the visibility is less than usual.

ASSEMBLY OF YACHT:
All the Models parts are inserted in the assembly section by using the command insert components. The parts are assembled together with help of planes and mates.
MATES:
Create geometric relation between the component, To define the allowable direction of linear or rotational motion to the parts.
CONCULATION:
I have completed my Modelling and Rendering of YACHT using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE software. It is wonderful experience using SOLIDWORKS.
