Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

Project

Surface Modeling Of Yacht On Solidworks

Objective:- To develop the surface of the yacht on Solidworks. Using this project, We will learn many Solidworks tools like sketch tool, features tool, surface tool, and so on. At the end of the project, we will be able to know the surface modeling technique very well.

Introduction:-In this project a full-fledged Yacht is modeled. The yacht has many parts but important parts are the hull and superstructure. Hull covers the lower part of a yacht and it is a basic structure of yacht. Superstructure covers like housing part where sailer and passenger seat. superstructure gives a very good appearance of a yacht.

Design Approach:- Design approach is a very essential part of any project because it gives an idea to model the whole project. The whole project is modeled one by one using a design layout. Here is the design layout...

Parts of the yacht:- Propeller

Radar

Hull

Rear Seat

Front Seat

Middle seat

Garage Door

Superstructure

Radar Mast

Design Layout:-

Important Tools which I have used in this project:-

Sketch tool:- Sketch tool is very a very primary tool in Solidworks. Because anything whatever we want to model first we have to make a 2D sketch, so the sketch tool is very handy and important. There are various sketch tools like line, circle, rectangle, sketch fillet, spline, etc.

A. Line:- This tool is used to draw lines like a straight line, midpoint line, construction.

B. Spline:- Spline is used to draw a curve line by adjusting the spline handle and handle weight value.This is very handy to draw any complicated curves.

D. Rectangle:- This tool is used to draw rectangles very quickly, there are various types of rectangle tools...

1. Corner rectangle

2. Center rectangle

3. Three-point rectangle

4 . Three-point corner rectangle

5. Parallelogram

Features Tools:-

A. Extrude Boss /Base:- It is used to extrude the material. There Are various options to extrude the materials like offset from the surface, up to the body, next to the surface and many.

B. Revolve Boss/Base:- Revolve bass tool is used to form a solid body about an axis by adjusting angle value. There are many other features is available.

C. Extrude cut:- It is used to cut the solid body that you have extruded. This tool is very important because you can cut the material even after extrusion is done.

Surface tool:-

A. Surface extrude, surface revolve, Surface, Surface Sweep:- These all same as above features tools used in Surface modeling.

B, Surface trim:- It is used to trim the surfaces from their surface using a sketch or intersecting surface as trim tool. There are so many features are available.

C. Delete Face:- This is a very important tool because is used to delete the surface if trimming is complicated.

In this tool, there are many options like delete and fill, delete, delete and patch .

D. Surface extends:- This tool is used to extend the surface from the existing surface.without sketch you can extend the surface as it is existing one.

E. Ruled surface:- The ruled surface is used to extend the surface unlike the surface extend, here is a various option to extend the surface like a tangent to the surface, normal to the surface, and many.

Parts:-

Hull:-It is the main body of the yacht. This part can be modeled by using the various sketch.

First, take a plane and start sketching according to the blueprint.

Apply surface extrude with appropriate length.

Superstructure:- It is assembled on the hull and it is like a house of the yacht where passengers and sailers live and enjoy. All the functional activity is done here. it gives a very good look to the whole yacht.

To model this superstructure First take a new part file.

Insert deck surface of the hull go to insert<part<select hull<uncheck all boxes except surface body box.

Now select the plane and start sketching according to the blueprint.

Propeller:- this is a very important part of a yacht. It is used to transfer power from the engine to the wheel.

The sketch of the propeller is very simple and short take the plane to select it and start a sketch.

Apply to revolve base boss

add sketch on circular section

add extrude cut and cut it.

Radar Mast:- This is a very functional unit of a yacht. it is used to establish communication from the yacht to the land.

take a new part file

insert superstructure offset surface go to insert<part<select superstructure<select offset surface.

start a new sketch.

Assembly:- Assembly is a process in which all the parts are assembled in a single file and the body looks complete.

Goto new file and select assembly.

insert<component<existing part<select hull.

similarly, insert superstructure and other parts.

Rendering:- This is a very important tool of Solidworks. This tool is used to photo rendering. Photo rendering is done to make photo-realistic 360. Here is some rendered image is shown ...

Conclusion:- All the parts are modeled and assembled in a single assembly file successfully.and after rendering model is looking the same as the original.
