Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

Assembly of Yacht

OBJECTIVE:

• Design the individual part of Yacht with fully define using Solid works.
• Assembling of all the individual parts of the Yacht model by assigning suitable to constraints.
• Render the Yacht model by adding the suitable environment, decals & additional lights, cameras & background scenes.

INTRODUCTION:

Solid works: Solid works is modeling software published by Dassault System Company. This software is mainly used to create 3D model using 2D sketch. It also has the option to specify the material and look for the model which we create. It has other Add in features like photoview360 which helps in rendering of final model to make it look photo realistic. In this project we learnt about detailed design of American chopper parts and assembling them and rendering the final chopper after assembly.

Yacht: Yachts originated from the Dutch Jatch type of vessel which has designed for sports and to stay overnights with all the luxurious facilities.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION:

I) Part/Surface Modeling:

A) Part modeling: Part modeling you can create a part from a conceptual sketch through solid feature-based modeling, as well as build and modify parts through direct and intuitive graphical manipulation.

B) Surface modeling: Surface modeling gives you the ability to build out a visual representation of an object’s exterior and its contours. In other words, it’s a surface. Surface modeling plays a major role in modeling a Yacht. Most of the parts in yacht are surface modeled.

Explanation of tools and features used while designing:

12. Pattern: To create a pattern of features, faces and bodies in one or two direction along a reference path. Types of patterns are mentioned below
    
    3. • Linear pattern: To create a pattern of feature/body along a linear reference.
       • Circular pattern: To create a pattern of feature/body along a circular reference.
       • Curve driven pattern
       • Sketch driven pattern
       • Variable pattern
13. Chamfer: To convert sharp edges into bevel edges.
14. Composite curve: Used to obtain combined composite curve from two or more curves.
15. Projected curve: It is a tool use to form 3D curves from two 2D curves from two different planes.
16. Smart dimensions: Used to add or edit dimensions of sketches.

Features used (Surface modelling):

1. Extruded Surface: It extrudes a selected sketch in one or two direction to create a surface.
2. Swept Surface: Used to create a surface along the profile path.
3. Lofted Surface: These surfaces are generated by multiple 3D curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves.
4. Filled Surface: In this command we can create a surface by providing a set of edges which forms a closed area.
5. Ruled Surface: Used to insert a ruled surfaces from edges.
6. Extend Surface: Used to extend the surface which is already created. We can extend the surface as same sirface or ew can extend the surface tangent to the surface.
7. Trim Surface: Used to trim unwanted surface.
8. Surface offset: Used to offset the surface
9. Reference plane: It is used to construct a plane when the existed planes are not suitable to create sketches/features.
10. Mirror: To mirror the features/surfaces about a plane.
11. Combine: To combine two or more solid bodies.
12. Dome: To create dome surfaces on flat surfaces.
13. Split: To create multiple bodies from a single body.
14. Shell: Removes material from a solid body to create a thin-walled feature.
15. Fillet: To create smooth or round edges at the intersection of two sketch entities.
16. Knit Surface: Used to knit (Stitch) two adjecent non intersecting surfaces to each other by considering the tolerance. This reduces the gap between the two edges of the surface.
17. Text: Used to add a text on the surface.
18. 3D Sketch: Used to create a 3D sketch by using sketch tools.
