2. Radar

3. BluePrint setup

And also provides instruction about the assembly of all these parts using solid works. It also explains the rendering of the designed model which makes it look realistic and presentable.

3. Design Methodology:

The design of the Sunseeker predator yacht is divided into 5 main stages like

• Blueprint setup
• Creating Parts in Solidworks
• Assemble the Parts
• Add Decals in Models
• Using Photoview 360 Render Images

5. Description:

1. Blueprint setup:

In this step, all the images i.e. front view, side view, top view, bottom view and back view are set properly.

2. Creating parts in Solidworks:

1. Propeller:

Boat propellers include blades that turn on the shaft, which is powered by the motor. Propellers can have 3, 4 or 5 blades. Propeller blades displace water, to create the forces that move a ship forward. The basic propeller shaft creates the torque, or energy required to turn the blades. A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid, such as water or air.

Revolve:

To create a revolve feature: Create a sketch that contains one or more profiles and centerline, line or edge to use as the axis of rotation around its axis. Revolved assembly features-can cut through other parts.

Loft Boss:

The loft feature allows you to generate complex geometry in a single surface feature. The loft feature is used to fill the gap between two curved surfaces. we create using two or more profiles. For solid loft, the first and last profiles must be model faces.

Fillet:

Fillet is used for creating smooth edges in order to avoid sharp edges. Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face or edges on the part. We can fillet all edges of a face, select sets of faces, select edges

Cut Extrude:

Cut Extrude operation allows easily removal of material from solid by extruding a profile along the normal to its plane.

Circular Pattern:

Use circular pattern to create multiple instances of one or more features we can space uniformly around an axis. Pattern instances inherit the feature color of the original feature when the pattern is based on one feature.

2. Radar:

Radar is a precious navigation aid, especially in situations of reduced visibility. It can be used to know the position and distance of other boats, other instructions such as rocks and buoys and coast. For example in fog, radar can be used to avoid collisions. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations and terrain.

Extrude Boss:

Extrude boss feature will allow us to take a 2D sketch. Every few releases, this feature gets some terrific functionality added to it.

Fillet:

Fillet is used for creating smooth edges to avoid sharp edges. Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face or edges on the part. We can fillet all edges of a face, select sets of faces, select edges.

Cut Extrude:

Cut Extrude operation allows easily removal of material from solid by extruding a profile along the normal to its plane.

Sketch Driven Pattern:

wherever you have added a point in a sketch. It's that simple. All it takes is a sketch created specifically to place instances of a feature.

Mirror:

Mirroring is another way that Solidworks can create a copy of an existing object. Additionally, you must choose a plane or face to mirror parts. In most cases, you will have to create your own plane to have the mirror done the way you need.

Split Line:

The split line tool projects an entity to the surfaces or curved or planar faces. It divides a selected face into multiple separate faces. you can split curves on multiple bodies with one command.

3. Hull:

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. A top of 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. The hull of a ship is the most notable structural entity of the ship. To define the hull, it can be said that is the water enclosure of the ship, which protect the cargo, machinery and accommodation spaces of the ship from weather, flooding and structural damage.

In this modelling, a lot of features are used.

Surface Trim:

Create two or more surfaces that intersect at one or more points or create a surface that intersects with a plane or has a sketch on its face. Trim remove

Surface Extrude:

You can create extruded surfaces from models that include 2D or 3D faces and knit the extruded surfaces to surrounding features.

Click Insert> Surface> Extrude.

3. Click ok.

Click Insert > Surface > Knit. Create adjacent, non-intersecting surfaces.

In the PropertyManager, under Selections:

Select Gap Control to view edge pairs that might introduce gap problems, and to view or edit the knitting tolerance or gap range.

Click OK.

1. Open a part that has either a closed profile sketch and a sketch path, or a part with a sketch line, edge or curve on the model that you can specify as a path.

2. Click Swept Boss/Base (Features toolbar).

Mirror:

Mirroring is another way that Solidworks can create a copy of an existing object. Additionally, you must choose a plane or face to mirror parts. In most cases, you will have to create your own plane to have the mirror done the way you need.

Final Hull:

4. Garage Door:

The garage door opener allows you to open and close the door without any effort other than pushing a button.

Cut Extrude:

Cut Extrude operation allows easily removal of material from solid by extruding a profile along the normal to its plane.

Shell:

The shell tool hollows out a part, leaves open the faces you select, and creates thin-walled features on the remaining faces.

If you do not select any face on the model, you can shell a solid part, creating a closed, hollow model.

You can also shell a model using multiple thicknesses.

Mirror:

Mirroring is another way that Solidworks can create a copy of an existing object. Additionally, you must choose a plane or face to mirror parts. In most cases, you will have to create your own plane to have the mirror done the way you need.

8. Superstructure:

A superstructure is an extended construction of any building or platform that above rise 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 excess of, whereas the stem word 'structure' means to build or heap up. Thus superstructure means to add construction to an already existing structure. In the ship, these names are given to the part of the ship that emerges from the deck. The size of the superstructure has a great influence on the mobility of the vessels. They are designed in a manner so that add value. This is because it is an easily visible part of the ship, in fact, it is the identification of the ship, and so the designer tries to provide it with an identity that is unique.
