Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

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

• The first Sunseeker Boats incorporated a creative combination of Scandinavian finesse and American built. They were the ones to first set a standard in terms of outdrive power.
• Daycab 23 and Sports 23 were the first vessels to be prefixed with the famous Sunseeker name.
• Such was the demand for these water vessels that within a span of three years between 1976 and 1979, more than 120 Sunseeker Daycabs were crafted!
• The fast and stylish Sunseeker Portofino 40 is the smallest yacht in the Sunseeker family.
• The Sunseeker 105 Yacht, unveiled in the year 2001, was the first among its line to range over the 100-foot mark!
• Premiered in the year 2014, Sunseeker 155 Yacht is the most superior and the largest crafted vessel till date in the entire Sunseeker fleet.
• Besides the appearance of Superhawk 34 in the 1999 flick ‘The World Is Not Enough,’ four of the stunning Sunseeker Yachts had appeared in the all-time-famous Bond movies – Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale!

              AIM

             INDROUCTION

• Solidworks-Solidworks also known as dassault system solidworks,Is a solid,surface modelling computer-aided designing(CAD) and computer aided engineering(CAE) computer published by dassault system.
• 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 Braithwaite in 1969.The main operating company's (Sunseeker International Limited, company number 00675320) registered office is Sunseeker House, West Quay Road, Poole, Dorset, BH15 1JD. Sunseeker describes the nature of its business using the Standard industrial classification number 30110: 'Building of ships and floating structures'.Manufacturing is undertaken mainly in poole, in seven production plants and shipyards where it employs c. 2,600 people and produces around 150 boats every year ranging from 38–161 feet. An additional deep-water shipyard is used to build the 105 yacht and larger vessels. In March 2007, the company announced a 500 job expansion program, with a new site on the isle of portlaPoole is also home to Sunseeker's dedicated Design & Technology Centre, a unique facility which vertically integrates every detail of the yachts from the initial concept designs through to the finishing details including furniture, complex electrical systems, helm consoles and soft furnishings. As Sunseeker produces these components in its own dedicated facility, it is able to offer exceptionally high quality control, craftmanship and attention to detail.

           DESIGN METHODOLOGY / APPROACH

           TYPE OF COMMANDS USED IN  SOLIDWORKS 

           Sketch

• Create thye sketches and decide how to dimension and where to apply relations.

           Features

• Select the appropriate features, such as extrudes and fillets,determine the best features to apply,and in what order to apply those features must be decided.

           Assembly

• Select the components to mate and apply the mates

1.    Sketch

• Creating a model usually begins with a sketch.From the sketch,We can  create features.We can combine one or more features to make a part.Then,We can combine and mate the appropriate parts to create an assebly.From the parts or assemblies,We can then create drawings.

          3D SKETCH

• When sketching in 3D, we can snap to the major the directions, x, y, or z.and constraints are applied along x, y, z respectively.These are constraints to the global coordinate system.When sketching on a plane,we can snap to the horizontal or vertical directions in the plane,and constraints are applied to the horizontal and the vertical.These are the constraints to a plane,planar face,etc

          SKETCH COMMANDS

          Smart dimension

•  Creates a dimension for a selected entity.

          Line

• Line one of the sketching tools in solidworks sketch command manager which can be drawn horizontally, vertically or at any angle.It plays very important role to complete the 2d drawing of the product nor part and very easy utilize its features.

         circle

• The circle is another important sketching tool which enables to create the circular drawing on the graphics area.There are two circle tools are avaliable and they are "Center circle and "perimeter circle.

        Rectangle

• Sketches rectangles or square with a center point at a selected angle.parallelogram sketches a standard parallelogram.Spline -A 2or 3 dimensional curves defined by aset of control points.
• Points within a spline can be added or deleted.Sketch fiilet-A tangent arc between two sketch entites can be craeted.

        point

• Insert a point or vertex into asketch entity.This cannot be deleted if it is part of sketch endpoint or center point.Text- it can be used to write the necessary wherever required either it's a plane or face.

        Offset Entites

• Copy a sketch entity to a specified distance from the orginal entity.Must have a sketch entity already drawn and selected to use this tool.

       Convert Entites

• Convert Entites enables you to copy model edges into your active sketch.These sketch element are automatically fully defined and constrained with an on edge relation.

      2.FEATURES

• Some sketch-based features are shapes such as bosses,cuts,and holes.Other sketch-based features such as lofts and sweeps use a orofile along a path.Another type of feature is called an applied features,which does not require a sketch.Applied features include fillets,chamfers, or shells.They are called "applied because they are characteristics to create the feature.Typically,we create a parts by including sketch-based features such as bosses and holes.Then we add applied features.It is possible to create a part without sketch based features.

        FEATURE COMMANDS:

        Extrude Boss/Base

• One of the oldest commands in the solidworks software is the boss/base extrude command.An Extrude Boss/Base feature will allow us to take a 2d sketch and add to it in the third dimension.

         Extruded cut

• It's a tool to remove material by projecting a sketched section normal to the sketched plane.

         Split

• Lines are used to divide model faces into two.Split lines are created like any other sketched feature.They can be one or more connected sketch entites.They must be oriented so that they will pass.Through model faces when projected normal to the sketch planeDome-it can add one or more domes to the selected planar or non planar faces.The software calculates the distance using the radius of the arc as a basis for the dome.

         Pierce Relationships

• The pierce relationship is used in sweeps.It can be thought of as a 3d coincident realtionship.In our spiring, the circle will follow the helix think of the helix as a thin piece of wire and the profile sketch as a being drawn on a piece of paper.If we stick the wire through the paper at the center of the circle,this would be pierce relationship.

         Project Curve

• Select Bi-directional to create a projection that extends on both sides of the sketch.The curve can be used as a path for a sweep.

        Composite Curve

• We can create composite curves by combining curves,Sketch geometry,and model edges into a single curve.Composite curve can be used as a guide curve when creating aloft or a sweep.

        SURFACE COMMANDS:

        Lofted surface

• Creates a lofted surface between two or more profiles or sketches.specify start and end constraints and add guide curves to control the path shape.

       Boundary Surfaces

• The boundary surface feature lets us to create surfaces that can be tangent or curvature continuous in both directions(all sides of the surface).In most cases,this delivers a higher quality result than the loft tool.

       Extruded Surfaces

• Extruded a sketch or selected sketch contours in one or two directions two create a surface features.

       Revolved surfaces

• Revolves a sketch or selected skerch contours around an axis to create a surface features.

       Swept surfaces

• It sweeps a closed profile along an open or closed path to create path to create a surface feature.It uses a tangent plane at the end of the path so that the path is normal to the swept surface.

       Filled surfaces

• Patches a surface within a boundary defined by the edges,sketches, or curves.We can constraint curves to fill surfaces and the adjust resolution control to improve surface finish.

       Ruled Surfaces

• Insert ruled surfaces in a specified direction from edges.Tangent to surface,normal  to the surface,tapered to vector,perpendicular to vector or sweep can be selected.We can also trim and knit the surfaces and remove any connecting surfaces.

      Trim surfaces

• It trims the surfaces where a surface intersect with another surface, a plane or a sketch.

      Knit surface

• It combines two or more adjacent,non-intersecting surfaces into a single surface body.The surface must joint at an edge.If the resulting knit surface encloses a volume,we can create a solidbody from the property manager.

     Move/copy surfaces

• Moves or copy surfaces about a plane or a sketch.

     Offset Surface

• Offset the surfaces using one or more contiguous faces.This tool helps us to create an offset surface with gaps.

     Extend surface

• Extends one or more edges or faces on a surface,based on end conditions and extension type.

    Mirror surfaces

• A mirror feature is a copy of a selected feature,mirrored about a plane or planar face.A minor sketch entity is a copy of a selected sketch entity that is mirrored about a centerline.If the orginal feature or sketch is modified,the mirrored copy is updated to reflect the change.

    Reference plane

• We can create planes in part or assembly documents.We can use feature,and so on.

    Projected curve

• A projected curve is typically used either in sweeps and lofts as planes to sketch,to create a section view of a model,for a netural plane in a draft path or guide curveT,There are two types of projected curves:

   Sketch on Sketch

• Use two sketches to make a single curve.sketch on surface:use a sketch to projected on a surface.

   Split line

• The split line tool projects an entity(Sketch,solid,surface,face,plane or surface spline) to surfaces,or curved or planar faces.It divides a selected face into multiple bodies with one command.

   Split point

• We can split a sketch entity to create two sketch entities.Conversely, we can delete a split point to combine two sketch entities into a single sketch entity.Fillet-A is an internal rounding of a corner or edge in asketch, or an edge on surface.

   PART MODELLING DESCRIPTION:

   BLUE PRINT SETUP:

• A blue print is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets.A blueprint is a guide for making something,it's a design or pattern that can be allowed.They were easier to read and faster to make.

  ASSEMBLY:

• AN assembly is a document in which parts,feature, and other assemblies(sub-assemblies) are mated together.The parts and subassemblies exist in documents seperate from the assembly.For example,in an assembly, a piston can be mated to other parts,such as a connecting rod or cylinder.This new assembly can then be used as a sub-assembly in an assembly of an engine.The extension for a solidworks assembly file name is SLDASM.

   ASSEMBLY COMMANDS:

• Smart mate-A smart mate is an assembly mating relation that is created automatically.
• Mate-Amate is a geometric relationship,Such as coincident,perpendicular,tangent,and so on,between parts in an assembly.
• Mate group-Amate group is a collection of mates that are solved together.The order in which the mates appear within the mate group doed not matter.
• Sub-Assembly-A sub-assembly is an assembly document that is part oflarger assembly.For example,the steering mechanism of a car is a subassembly of the car.
• Insert Components-We can insertmultiple instances of the group of components without closing the property manager.

   ASSEMBLY COMMANDS:

        Import all the parts manually by using insert components option

• Then fix the hull part by applying the coincident mate to the top,Right and Front planes of the Assembly and hull respectively.
• Then for each part apply the necessary mates required by the Blueprint using Coincident mates.Angle Mates Distance mates etc.
