Design and Assembly of Yacht

Objective:

• To get an understanding of different tools and commands available in Solidworks.
• To design the part of Yacht using Solidworks.
• To assemble all the parts of the using Solidworks.

Introduction:

• SolidWorks: A solid modelling computer-aided design and a computer-aided engineering computer program that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.
• Modelling: The terminology, basic design concepts, and procedures that you must know before you start building parts.
• Assembling: Fitting together different parts to complete the model.

Design methodology:

• Every part of the chopper has to be designed separately to reduce the complexity and make changes if needed.
• Starting from the 2D drawing to simplify the process. 2D drawings are nothing but side view or top view or front view on the object.
• To design the product from different views and making a 3D model
• Bring together the parts and assembling them to get the final assembled model

• Following are a few Sketch options:-

Sketch	To create a new sketch or edit an existing one.
Smart Dimensions	To get the dimensions for one or more entities in one go.
Line	To draw a line. Types- Line Centerline Midpoint line
Rectangle	To draw rectangular fracture. Types- Coner Midpoint 3 point corner 3 point centre Parallelogram
Circle	To draw a circle.
Arc	To draw an arc. Types- Centerpoint 3 points.`
Spline	To draw a curved path or profile.
Ellipse	To draw a complete ellipse.
Trim	Help to trim or extend the entity using power trim.
Convert entities	Converts selected edge and sketch identical entity by projecting on the sketch.
Offset entities	Offset entities by a specific distance on one or both sides.

• Following are some Features:-

Extrude Boss/Base	Extrude the sketch in one or two directions to create a solid feature, converting 2D into 3D.
Revolve Boss/Base	Revolve a sketch around an axis to create a sold feature, to obtain a spherical feature.
Swept Boss/Base	To move along the path created, to obtain complex parts.
Lofted Boss/Base	To add material between two or more profiles to create a solid feature.
Extrude Cut	To remove the material from the 3D model.
Fillet	To create a rounded /curved face along the edge of the solid surface feature. Can be the same or variable size.
Projected Curves	To get the defined 3D curve with the help of 2D lines.
Mirror	To create a mirror image of faces, bodies about the axis, creating symmetry.

Parts of the Yacht:-

Parts-	Function-	Feature Used-
Front Seat-	The relaxing area in the front section of the Yacht.	Sketch Surface Sweep Surface Extrude Surface Trim Surface Fill Surface Loft Surface Knit Chamfer Revolve Cut Extrude Fillet Mirror Dome
Garage Door-	The door to enclose the garage.	Sketch Cut Extrude Shell Fillet Mirror
Hull-	The hull of a ship is the most notable structural entity of the ship. It the Base for everything on the Yacht.	Sketch, 3D Sketch Projected Curves Surface Loft Surface Trim Surface Fill Surface Knit Shell Boss Extrude Cut Extrude Fillet Sweep Helix Revolve
Middle Seat-	Placed At the rear of the superstructure for relaxing and having food.	Sketch Boss Extrude Chamfer Fillet Mirror Cut Extrude
Propeller-	Propeller blades displace water, to create the forces that move a Yacht forward.	Sketch Revolve Loft Fillet Cut Extrude Pattern
Radar-	Radio Detection and Ranging, is used to detect objects and their position relative to your current location.	Sketch Boss Extrude Fillet Cut Extrude Pattern Mirror
Radar Mast-	A marine radar device acts as a major navigation aid for boaters.	Sketch Boss Extrude Fillet Revolve Sweep Chamfer Projected Curves Dome Shell Mirror
Rear Seat-	Placed at the rear of the Yacht for relaxing.	Sketch Surface Sweep Surface Offset Surface Trim Surface Knit Surface Loft Chamfer Fillet Sweep mirror Revolve
Superstructure-	To add construction to an already existing structure, mostly designed in fashion as well.	Sketch, 3D Sketch Surface Extrude Surface Knit Fillet Surface Trim Projected Curves Surface Loft Surface Sweep Cut Extrude Dome Fillet

Assembly of Yacht:

• Fitting together different parts by using assembly file available in Solidworks.
• For the start, Hull is inserted and fixed.
• All the remaining parts will be inserted and placed with respect to Hull with the help of possible mates.
• Mates: It is a geometric relation between components. These are provided to place the part in the assembly as needed. The object can be completely fixed or can have some degree of freedom.

Conclusion:

1. Learn to use Solidworks.
2. Drawing the components with the help of different features.
3. Assembling all the parts to complete the model.
4. Giving the photo-realistic view with the help of Photo-view 360 and Solidworks Visualise.
