Radar Mast & Final Assembly of Yacht

DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF SUNSEEKER PREDATOR YACHT

• OBJECTIVE:
• Designing & modeling the different parts of the yacht.
• Designing and modeling the main structural parts of the yacht such as(the hull, front seat, middle seat, rear seat, superstructure, and radar mast.) using the reference of the blueprint.
• Build the assembled sunseeker predator yacht as a photorealistic render using the Solidworks visualize.

• INTRODUCTION:
• Solidworks is a mechanical 3D CAD( computer-aided designing) software.
• Designing and modeling the sunseeker predator yacht by Solidworks.
• Yacht is modeled by both surface modeling and solid modeling. Mostly the main structural parts of the yacht are modeled as a surface body and then converted into a solid body.
• Yacht is a luxury performance motor brand yacht.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

EXPLANATION OF FEATURES:

PLANE:

• To draw the section view of the parts.
• To draw the particular portion (or) side of part.

SKETCH:

• To draw the part by applying the command and smart dimensions at particular plane.

FILLET:

• It creates the round shapes at corner of the edge of part.

CHAMPER:

• It creates the sloping/tapered shape at corner of the edge.

CONVERT ENTITIES:

• It gives the same sketch profile on the same plane (or) other plane with same dimension value.

OFFSET ENTITIES:

• It creates the same sketch profile from selected model edges by specified distance.

MIRROR ENTITIES:

• When you create mirrored entities, apply a symmetric relation between each corresponding pair of sketch points.

SHELL:

• The shell tool creates hollows out the inside of the solid, leaving a shell of a specified wall thickness.

EXTRUDE BOSS/BASE:

• Extrude tool is used to extend the sketch in one or two direction with solid feature.

REVOLVED BOSS/BASE:

• It is used to create the revolved solid body sketch with reference of axis or lines.

EXTRUDE CUT:

• It is used to remove the materials from solid body in either one or two direction.

REVOLVE CUT:

• It is used to remove the materials from revolved solid body sketch in either one or two direction.

SWEPT BOSS/BASE:

• It creates the solid body around the sketch profile along an open & closed path.

LOFT:

• This feature creates a complex shape between the multiple profiles & guide curves.

DOME:

• It creates tangent to adjacent cylindrical & conical surfaces.

TRIM:

• It is used to remove the extra line of the surface.

PATTERN:

• It creates the number of sketch profiles through selected sketch along the reference path.

SPLIT:

• The split tool is used to project onto other surface or curved planar surfaces.

PROJECTED CURVE:

• Project the sketched curve on the model face & combines with another 2D curve to get the 3D curve.

SURFACE EXTRUDE:

• It creates the extruded surface based on the reference sketch.

SURFACE EXTEND:

• Extend the surface from the reference edge of the body.

FILLED SURFACE:

• It creates the surface patch through the reference edge of the body, sketch, and curves.

SURFACE TRIM:

• It is used to trim the extra surface from a reference sketch or plane.

SURFACE LOFT:

• It is used to create a complex shape based on the reference of multiple curves and guide curves.

SURFACE SWEEP:

• It creates the surface based on the reference of the sketch profile & path.

RULED SURFACE:

• It creates a surface that extends ut in a specified direction from selected edges.

3D SKETCH:

• Draw the sketch in x,y, and z directions.

SPLIT LINE:

• It is used to split the model.

HELIX/SPIRAL:

• This feature creates a spiral or helix based on the reference sketch.

DELETE FACE:

• It is used to delete unnecessary faces and this feature comes with some options like delete face & path face & delete fill.

KNIT SURFACE:

• Knit surface is used to combine two or more surfaces together and make them single surface body.

DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE YACHT:

• PROPELLER
• RADAR
• HULL
• FRONT SEAT
• MIDDLE SEAT
• REAR SEAT
• GARAGE DOOR
• SUPERSTRUCTURE
• RADARMAST

1. PROPELLER

• Propeller is the main component of every marine.
• Propeller is a mechanical device formed by two or more blades that spin around a shaft and produces a propelling force in boats.
• A main function of the propeller is to propel the yacht move forward.

FEATURES:

• Revolve
• Cut extrude
• Loft
• Fillet
• Circular pattern

2. RADAR:

• Radar is used to detect the objects and their position relative to the current location.
• It helps to detect boats, birds, landmasses, and weather systems even if the visuality is less than usual.
• It emits the radio signal on the object and it reflects and receives the output signal.
• Radar is located above the superstructure of the yacht.

FEATURES:

• Extrude
• Mirror
• Cut extrude
• Fillet
• Sketch-driven pattern
• 

3. HULL

• A hull is the watertight body of a ship or boat. The hull may open at the top of it may be fully or partially covered with deck.
• All hull shapes have smooth curves.
• The hull is supported exclusively or predominantly by buoyancy.
• The front curved portion of the hull produced maximum lift and a smooth fast ride in flat water.

ASSEMBLY OF YACHT:

• Insert the component of ( Hull, front seat, middle seat, rear seat, superstructure, and radar mast) without applying any mates and click ok it will be fixed automatically.
• Insert the Propeller, radar and click anywhere on the screen and manually assemble these parts using mates.

USED MATES:

• concentric mate
• coincident mate

At the end of the assembly placed the American chopper in the garage space.

PHOTOREALISTIC RENDERING:

• Build the Assembled yacht as a photorealistic rendering.
