Introduction

A yacht is a watercraft used for pleasure or sports. today's yacht are almost exclusively for leisure.A yacht is any sail or

power vessel used for pleasure ,Cruising or racing. Until the 1950s,almost all yacht were made of wood or steel,but a

wider range of materials is used today.Although wood hulls are still in production ,the most common construction material

is fiberglass,followed by aluminium,steel ,carbon fibre and ferrocent.Apart from material like carbon fibre and aramid

fibre ,spruce veneers laminated with epoxy resins have the best weight to strength ratios of all boatbuilding materials.

In recent years these yacht have evolved from fairy vessels with basic accomodation into sophisticated and luxurious

boats .This is largely due to reduce hull_building costs brougt about by the introduction of fibre glass hulls. and increase

automation and production line techniques for yacht building.Most basic yacht have electrica lighting radio and navigation

aids such as GPS .Aids such as radar ,echo-sounding and auto piolet are common.

Theory

Process Flow Chart

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 manupulation.

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 , Its a surface.

Surface Modeling plays a major role in modeling yacht. Most of the parts in the yacht area surface modeled.

The following are the features used in surface modeling

Sketch - 2D to create sketches on a plane referance 3D to create sketches in the three dimension

Lines - To create a line or centerline

Circles - To create rectangle shape

Splines - To create curved lines controllable through handles.

Slots - For creating slot shape

Arcs - For creating arcs or half circles

Offset Entities - To offsetting the sketch at required distance

Convert Entities - To convert sketches from plane to another plane.

Trim Entities - For deleting or trimming the sketch.

Extrude Boss/Base - To create a 3D object

Extrude Cut - For cutting a portion from 3D object

Revolve Boss/Base - To revolve a circular shape around axis

Lofted Boss/Base - To Create surface between multiple curves

Surface Extrude - for creating surface

Trim surface - To trim surface

Loft Surface - To create surface between multiple curves

Sweep Surface - For creating surface of sketch over a curve

Sweep Cut - to remove material along curved 3D shape

Extend surface - To increasing the length of surface

Knit surface - To join or Knit multiple surfaces

Fillet - To create round edges

Chamfer - To make slope (in Angle)

Dome - For making round or circular shape on an end

Sweep - To create a 3D shape from 2D shape along a connected path

Split - To create a 3D shape from 2D shape along a connected path

Split - To Create multiple part from single part

Shell - To remove inner material to form hollow shape.

Mirror - To Copy sketches /feature and body from one side of a plane or axis to another

Patterns - For creating same shapes or objects to another place by reference of any line or plane in linear ,curve

Combine - To combining or adding bodies to make them single body

Appearences - To give parts their materials look and painted colour

Hull

A hull is the water tight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open a the top or it may be fully or partially coverd with a

deck

Superstructure

• A superstructure is an upward extension of an existing structure above a baseline.

• The superstructure is a ship/yacht is a part that emerges from the deck.

• In this yacht superstructures like frontseat, middleseat ,rear seat and cabin are modelled.

• The superstructure may be built in multiple layers.

• In this yacht single layer superstructures are used.

• Space for living accomodation ,meeting room etc. are provided inside superstructures.

procedures for modeling

• Insert blueprint of the yacht in anew part.

• Create half of the superstructure by surface modelling and convert it into a solid body

• create a foundation tank on the front side of the superstructure .

• Provide handle for on the surface of the foundation tank.

• Create steps in the front portion of the superstructure .

• Create glass window portion on the surface of the superstructure .

• create a wiper part over the front window.

• Create a handle for the backside door of the superstructure

• Create a surface on the soundation tank and provide appropriate transparency on it.

• Apply colour to all the necessary surfaces.

Radar Mast

Key Feature :- Splines , Extrude , Fillet , Revolve , Mirror

procedures of modeling

• Open the blueprint detup files & save it is a Radar mast

• Go to insert part browse for super structure & deselect all the options except surface bodies.

• Use the blueprint & draw the sketch & extrude the past as the dimensions

• Create antenna using circle & extrude commands

• Draw the other components & mirror them using midplane as reference .

• Apply colors to the parts using appearance option.

Front seat

Key Features:- Surface extrude , surface trim, surface knit, chamfer

Procedures for modeling

• Open the blueprint setup files & save it as frontseat

• Using splines create a sketch & extrude it.

• Use surface trim option to create a shape & surface loft to form the symmetric shape of the front seat.

• Use surface knit option to cover the gaps.

• Hide the surface deck & use the surface fill the gaps & use surface knit option again to form the solid.

• Use revolve command to create the shape of the seats

• Apply fillets where ever applicable

• Mirror the components & Apply fillets again.

• Apply colors to the parts using apperance option.

Middle Seat

Key Features:- Surface extrude , surface trim, surface knit, chamfer

Procedures for modeling

• Open the blueprint setup files & save it as Middle Seat

• Use surface trim option to create a shape & surface loft to form the symmetric shape of the middle seat.

• Use surface knit option to cover the gaps.

• Hide the surface deck & use the surface fill the gaps & use surface knit option again to form the solid.

• Use revolve command to create the shape of the seats

• Use extrude cut option and create the seats .

• Apply fillets where ever applicable

• Mirror the components & Apply fillets again.
