Modelling of the Yacht

Modelling of the Sunseeker Predator Yacht in Solid-works

Introduction:

Solid-works is an engineer software used to create real models of mechanical part and from these models the technical drawings that will be used to manufactory the parts modelled.

It can also be used to apply appearances, materials and perform analyses such as FEA and CFD.

In this curse model will be learning how to create each component of an American chopper and also how to assembly it.

Design methodology/approach:

Objectives:

The objective of this model is to learn all the features necessary to create each of the component of the Sunseeker Predator Yacht and also how to assembly it. Will be also learning how to use the photo view 360 and visualize to render the final assembled model.

Description of each component modelled.

Rendering:

It is the process of creating a real image of the model created by applying material, appearances, cameras, light and backgrounds.

Conclusion:

All parts of the Sunseeker Predator Yacht Assembly are modelled as per the instruction along with the final assembled model.

The final model is rendered showing a very real image of how this Yacht should look on a real scenario.
