Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht
Aim:Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht
A. Radar Mast
Report on Yacht Modelling
Objective
To model a Yacht by using solidwork and assemble all the components.
Design methodology / approach
Description
- Setting of Blueprint
In this step all the image i.e. front view, side view, top view, bottom view and back view are set properly.
- Propeller Modeling
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.
While modelling propeller a revolve, extrude cut, Loft, circular pattern and fillet features are used.
- Radar Modelling
Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (range), angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain.
Extrude, extrude cut, Mirror, Split line and fillet commands where used while modelling the radar.
- Hull Modelling
A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, or flying 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 superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
Outer body of Hull is modelled by using solidwork surface tool. Project curve feature is also used.
Few surface tools where also used like Lofted surface, Boundary surface, Extruded Surface, Trim Surface.
Other tools like swept boss and extrude cut are used.
While modelling of hull I learnt how to assign reference plane on different edge and point. Also, I learnt how to use sweep command. In modelling of hull part one there are different command used such as extrude cut ap to surface for making of window, the body is modelled by using projected curve and surface tools.

- Front, Middle Seat Modeling
Basically, three seat where model by using surface tool and khit surface feature.
Front seat
Middle seat
Rear Seat
- Superstructure Modeling
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. 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.
The feature which are used in modelling of super structure are surface feature, Knit surface, Swept boss, fillet, extrude boss and chamfers.
- Modelling of Radar Mast
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. Radar is a vital navigation component for safety at sea and near the shore.
Extrude Boss, Revolved, swept, shell and mirror feature where used.
- Assembly
We have to mate each part file with proper Coincide, tangent, concentric, parallel mate.

Conclusion:
After modeling of Yacht, I have learnt different tools used in SOLIDWORKS. Also, tools related to assembly and rendering.
