Sunseeker Predator Yacht
Sunseeker Predator Yacht
- OBJECTIVE :
- The main objective is to learn how to use the SOLIDWORKS software user interface by modelling Sunseeker Predator Yacht.
- It also has the objective of teaching how to view the model in realistic view using PHOTO VIEW 360 which helps in the better rendering process.
- INTRODUCTION :
- To design this Sunseeker Predator Yacht, We need to model various parts with proper dimensions and alignment’s and assemble them together to make the complete yacht.
- The various parts that are to be modelled are:-
- BLUEPRINT SETUP
- PROPELLER
- RADAR
- HULL
- GARAGE DOOR
- FRONT SEAT
- MIDDLE SEAT
- REAR SEAT
- SUPERSTRUCTURE
- RADAR MAST
- APPROACH TO DESIGN / METHODOLOGY :
- The Sunseeker Predator Yacht is designed by modelling all the parts of the yacht.
- All the modelled parts should then be Assembled
- The assembled yacht then should be given proper Colour, Decals and good appearance.
- Finally, rendering the yacht using Photo View 360.
- DESCRIPTION :
- Modelling all these parts were created by using various features, like:
- PLANES :
This is where we can adjust our model in various planes and help us sketch comfortably within the plane view. The plane views are:
- Front Plane :
This plane helps in creating the sketch or assembly keeping the front view as its main perspective.
- Top Plane :
This plane helps in creating the sketch or assembly keeping the top view as its main perspective.
- Right Plane :
This plane helps in creating the sketch or assembly keeping the right view as its main perspective.
- SKETCH :
This feature is used to use various tools, such as:
- Smart Dimension :
This tool is used to give proper dimensions to the sketch or model and is very handy to use.
- Geometrical features :
This tool is used to sketch in the plane by using various tools like Line, Circle, Rectangle, Sketch Fillet, Arc etc., and is very handy to use.
- Trim Entities :
This tool is used to Trim the extra lines or entities which can automatically or easily delete the open line or sketch which needs to be erased and is very handy to use.
- Convert Entities :
This tool is used to convert the sketch that is already fully defined, which can be used as further reference points and can be pre-sketched easily.
- Offset Entities :
This tool is used to create an offset of the sketch and can be created inside the sketch or outside the sketch and is very handy to use.
- Mirror Entities :
This tool is used to mirror the sketch drawn on the plane which can be mirrored according to the reference planes and is very handy to use.
- Linear Sketch Pattern :
This tool is used to create a pattern to a sketch which saves time by not creating the same sketch again and again. This also includes linear patterns or circular patterns and is very handy to use.
- Display Relations :
This tool is used to display all the relations that were assigned during the sketch which can be also modified at any time.
- FEATURES :
- Extruded Boss/Base :
This tool is used to extrude the 2-D sketch into the 3-D sketch.
- Revolved Boss/Base :
This tool is used to revolve the 2-D sketch making it 3-D.
- Extruded Cut :
This tool is used to cut the existing 3-D part according to the 2-D sketch drawn on it.
- Revolved Cut :
This tool is used to cut the existing 3-D part according to the 3-D sketch drawn on it.
- Fillet :
This tool is used to fillet the edges of the part which makes the sharp edges of the part look curved.
- Chamfer :
This tool is used to create a bevelled feature on the edges, faces or vertex of the part.
- Linear pattern :
This tool is used to pattern the features or faces in one or two linear patterns and also has an option of creating the pattern in the circular.
- Dome :
This tool is used to create a dome shape on the surface selected and can be shaped both inwards and outwards.
- All the above features and tools are used while modelling the Sunseeker Predator Yacht and are also very handy to learn and use.
- FINDING / RESULTS :
- The parts that are designed are as follows :
- BLUEPRINT SETUP
- PROPELLER
- RADAR
- HULL
- GARAGE DOOR
- FRONT SEAT
- MIDDLE SEAT
- REAR SEAT
- SUPERSTRUCTURE
- RADAR MAST

- DISCUSSIONS :
- The EBOOK support on how to design the parts with proper dimensions and assembly was very helpful.
- ‘Challenges’ are one more special features here, which makes us not only learn looking at the EBOOK but also a place where we submit the tasks within a sufficient period of time.
- All the support engineers and mentors were available to their best, making sure that I have all my queries cleared within a very short period of time.
- CONCLUSIONS :
- Finally, I would like to conclude that it was great learning the user interface of SOLIDWORKS by modelling the Sunseeker Predator Yacht.
