3D MODELLING, ASSEMBLY, AND PHOTOREALISTIC RENDERING OF SUNSEEKER PREDATOR YACHT

OBJECTIVE:

• To model individual part of sunseeker predator yacht with proper dimensioning and relevant features in Solidworks.
• To assemble all the parts using appropriate mates.
• Rendering final assembly to get photorealistic model using solidworks photoview 360 or solidworks visualise.

INTRODUCTION:

• Solidworks is a 3D CAD and CAE software developed by Dassault Systems. It provides dedicated tools and workflows that streamline the design and development of products. It is used for sketching, part modelling, sheet metal design, simulation, mold design, and other computer-aided manufacturing processes.
• Solidworks Visualize is a standalone computer application majorly employed to create photorealistic or non-photorealistic renders. It is also used for post-processing images and even creating basic presentation animations.
• Sunseeker Predator Yacht - Sunseeker International is a British luxury performance motor yacht brand. Originally named Poole Power Boats, the company was founded by brothers Robert and John Braithwaithe in 1969, The company changed its name to Sunseeker International in 1985 and has become a global icon. Its headquarters and main assembly facility is in Poole Harbour, at Poole in Dorset, England. A Predator is poised and dynamic. Offering performance, agility, and exceptional handling, with a low-profile silhouette that cuts through the water. Complete with joystick control and 34-knot capability, she will provide an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind driving experience in a well-appointed surroundings. Over two spacious decks, both modern and classic designs blend harmoniously to exceed even the highest of expectations. On the main deck, expansive windows allow plenty of natural light to illuminate both the dining and separate seating areas. Below deck, three double suites, plus twin bed guest cabin comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. The cockpit features a blend of contemporary style, design, and modern technologies, while the flybridge is just assumptuous and innovative. Rarely overshadowed, never outrun. It leaves all others in its wake.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

FEATURES AND TOOLS USED IN MODELLING OF YACHT:

• Creating 2D Sketch - 2D Sketch is created on XY, XZ, or YZ planes. With the help of a 2D sketch, we create 3D features. The status of the sketch can be determined by color codes. If the sketch is black then it is fully defined, if the sketch is blue then it is under-defined, if the sketch is red then it is called over-defined.
• Extruded Boss/Bass - Using this feature we can create a solid which has the same boundary as that of the 2D sketch that we are using for extrusion.
• Knit Surface - Using this feature two or more than two surfaces can be joined and converted into a single entity.
• Trim Surface - Using this feature we can remove unnecessary surfaces.
• Extend Surface - Using this feature we can extend the surface using its edge.
• Fill Surface - Using this feature we can create the surface in the close boundary.
• Surface Extrude - Using this feature any 2D sketch can be extruded to create a surface.
• Revolved Boss/Bass - This feature is used to create a solid 3d model around an axis. With this feature, we can create cylindrical shapes.
• Swept Boss/Bass - Using this feature we can create complex hollow pipes, curved rods, tubes, twisted parts. Inputs for this feature are a path and sketch perpendicular to that path.
• Extruded Cut - Using this feature we remove solid which has the same boundaries as of that of the 2D sketch, this feature is used to create hollow surfaces.
• Lofted Boss/Bass - This feature is used to add materials between two or more profiles with ease. Inputs for this feature are cross-section and guide curve.
• Fillet - This feature is used to create smooth edges.
• Chamfer - This feature is used to create cuts (45-degree angle with the normal surface), or make edges or corners (vertex) of the 3D model straight.
• Circular Pattern - Using this feature we can create patterns of a feature, body, or face in a circular manner.
• Mirror - This feature is used to copy features across planes.
• Curve-driven Pattern -This feature is used to create patterns along a planar or 3D curve.
• Draft - We use this feature to provide taper on specified angles, using a neutral plane or parting line.
• Convert Entities - This feature is used to create a replica of a sketch entity or its dimensions in the same plane or another coordinate.
• Shell - This feature is used to create the spherical shape or Dome on 3D parts or shapes.
• Split - This feature is used to cut the part across some sketch boundary and to remove that part from the main model.
• Reference Geometry - This feature is used to create plans, axes, coordinate systems, and points.
• Projected Curves - This feature is used to create one 3D curve from two 2D curves drawn on different plans.
• Combine - This feature is used to join two or more solid bodies into a single entity.

YACHT ASSEMBLY:

• The above mentioned components were assembled with appropriate mates to get the final assembly of sunseeker predator yacht.
• Since the components Front, Middle, and Rear Seats, Superstructure and Radar mast were designed using a surface body as reference with respect to the Hull, it is fixed automatically in the assembly.
• Whereas, components like Propeller, Radar and Garage door were assembled by using mates Feature.

• Applied Mate Features
