Surface Modeling,assembly and photo Realistic Rendering of Yacht

Objective:

To model parts of yacht and assembly them in solid works.After the assembly the yacht is then refered for photo realistic view using solid works visualize

INTRODUCTION:

Solidworks is a 3D modelling software developed by Dassualt systems.It enables the user to create models parts assemble them and sheet metal design etc.,The designing of model

is achieved by using various features in the software and most used features have been listed below :

Commonly used features in Part design:

  • part design has two types of features .i.e,sketch tools and 3Dfeatures
  • sketch tools consists of 2D elements like line,polygons(different types of rectangles),circles,arcs,splines(a2D line which can be controlled by control points)
  • A 3D features converts the sketch or 2D element into a 3-dimensional object by using features like extrude,extrude cut,revolve base,revolve cut,sweep,loftedbase,etc.,
  • surface is a two-dimensional object with zero thickness
  • most of the parts are designed using surfaces and then the surface are converted into solid by adding thickness

The components of yatch in this design are:

  • propeller
  • radar
  • hull
  • seats
  • superstructure
  • radarmast
  • garage door

PART DESIGNING:

1.Blueprint Setup:It acts as reference for the part designing .The sketch picture is imported and adjust to match with the dimension

of part to be designed .It is made transperent to be able to view the objects behind it

2.HULL: It is the main part of the yacht . It provides accommodation for other parts like seats ,superstructure,garage,etc.,The body of hull is modelled using surface and then its converted into solide.

SURFACE OPERATIONS

Sweep surface

loft surface

Boundary surface

Kint surface

Trim surface

Delete face

Projection curve

Reference planes

SOLID OPERATIONS

Extrude

Extrude cut

Split

Dome

Fillet

Chamfer

Mirror

3.SUPER STRUCTURE: It is extended part of hull and facilities the accommodation of driver cabin.it is also

modelled using surfaces and then converted into solid.

Surface operations

Extrude surface

Sweep surface

Extend surface

Loft surface

Boundary surface

Fill surface

Kint surface

Trim surface

Delete face

Projection surface

reference plane

Solid operations

Extrude

Extrude cut

Dome

Fillet

Chamfer

mirror

4.RadarMast:It placed on the superstructure to detect objects in the path of yacht so thereby avoiding collision

it is designined in solid modeling

  • Extrude
  • Extrude cut
  • Revolve
  • Sweep
  • Sheel
  • Reference plane
  • Projection curve
  • Dome
  • Mirror

5.RADAR: It is part of radar mast and used to detect objects

  • Extrude
  • Extrude cut
  • Mirror
  • Fillet

6.SEATS: These facilites the seating of passenger during the journey.these are named after thier position in the yacht i.e.,Front,Middle and Rear seat

Both front and rear seats are modelled using surfaces while middle seat is designed using solid modelling .

SURFACE OPERATIONS:

  • Extrude surface
  • sweep surface
  • Extend surface
  • Loft surface
  • Boundary surface
  • Fill surface
  • Kint surface
  • Trim surface
  • Delete face
  • projection curve
  • Reference planes

Solid operations

  • Extrude
  • Extrude cut
  • Dome
  • Fillet
  • Chamfer
  • Mirror

MIDDLE SEAT

.

REAR SEAT

7.GARAGE DOOR: It is used as clouser for garage or storage room

  • Extrude
  • Extrude cut
  • Mirror
  • Chamfer
  • Fillet

8.Propeller: It used to create thrust to propeller the yacht . The thrust is created by the rotating blades

  • Revolve
  • Loft
  • Circular pattern
  • Fillet

ASSEMBLY:

After the completion of part modelling , the next step is assembly of those into a yatch

The relation between the part is defined by mates.These are different types of mates in the assdembly :

  • Convcentric mate
  • Coincident mate
  • Parallel mate

parts like the super structure and seats are designed using a surface from hull . When these parts are imported into assembly workbench they are fixed automatically

at thier positions without any mates . Or they can be fixed by using mates

Radar mast is designed by using a reference surface of super structure so it is automatically fixed ont the superstructure

Appearaance of part is done in assembly to have an idea about designing or materials of the parts .Different appearance

is assigned to the parts according to thier nature

Decales are imposed on the surface of the parts to give it an aesthitic look.these can be images or

patterns or any kind of designs according to the choice of designer

NOTE:

The sketches should be fully defined the position of entities must be defined fully with

respect to orgin or any other reference

Avoid the mates between planes of parts and assembly planes.Instead of create mates with respect to main component

RENDERING:

Rendering is done to apply real time graphics to the yacht . We can assign a scene or envirorment in

which the yacht is placed and we can modify the colors of it . We can use different situations like sunny , or

dark envirorment to check the behaviour or looks of the yavcht under a particular condition we can apply different

view positions to view it from different positions and angles to came a conclusion about it design.

CONCLUSION:

Surface modelling is the one of the complex things in designing selection approprite tool to enerate

surfaces is key to modelling . The gaps between surfaces will play an important role while converting

surface bodies into solid . The designing of yacht will give an oppurtunity tools of surface modelling
