Sunseeker Predator Yacht

       MODELING SUNSEEKER PREDATOR YATCH

This project is focused on surface Modeling and assembling some major parts of Sunseeker Predator Yatch to design it, using FEA method, SolidWork programe.

Objective: Produce detailed Model of some major parts of Sunseeker Predator Yatchh and Assembl them, create photo realistice 360 view and render them with the help of blue print some defined dimensions in the SolidWork 2022 programe.

Itroduction:-

SolidWorks is a CAD software especially design for Mechanical desing. Sunseeker is the brand of luxorious motor Yatch.

SolidWorks is a very popular and handy software used in Mechanical industry because it helps designer to show idea of a part and model in a realistic view in to represent it without actually producing a real object. Thats why it is so helpfull to correct mistakes and rectify these before acually creating model.

In our this project of Modeling Sunseeker Predator Yatch we design or model different parts and initially in 2D and then transform them to 3D object by the use of tools like surface modeling, surface extrusion, cut extrusion, trim, shell, surface fill etc.

Assembly is the most After that creating parts then we Assemble this into one object to achive final body and view in photo realistic 360 add-ins.

After all of this redenre it in the realstic environment using SolidWork Visualise 2022.

Design Methodology:-

In the design method we processed by three easy steps:

1. PART MODELING
2. ASSEMBLING
3. RENDERING

Lets discuss in detail about these steps

          1). PART MODELING

In part modeling means modeling parts individually.

In the modeling parts in out project Sunseeker Predator Yatch we communicate with SolidWork software by giving some command those are as follows:

Sketch Command:

It is use to instruction of dimensions and locations and relations.

some of the sketch commands are:

• Line: it is first sketching tool in any design it is also used form sided skech it is also used to form other refence object like center line construction line etc. 
• Circle:- Circle is used to form in circular graphic.
• Rectangle:- to form four sided sketch we use rectangle but we can also used line to form rectangle.
• spline:- if we have to form curve there is a magical tool called spline by which we can apply one, two or  three and so pointed curve.
• Smart Dimensions:- If we have to define our sketch we need to apply dimensions that is the role of as name Smart dimensions.
• point:- to mark location or other need we used pont tool.
• sketch fillet:- to apply tangential arc beween to lines that is the function of sketch fillet.
• text:- some times we need to show text on drawing there will be sketch text tool fill our need.
• offset entities:- when we had and sketch and need to exact offset but on some distance then we do not have to sketch it again there will be offset entities tool help.
• convert entities:- this tool help to convert edge of 3D sketch to help in sketching a new sketch.  

Feature Command:- 

There are many feature in SolidWork but some of these we used in this are unique. 

Some features are sketch-based such as 

• Extruded Boss/Base:- One of the oldest command in the SolidWork software and available almost in every CAD software. This feature will allow us to take 2D sketch and add thickness to form 3D sketch
• Extruded Cut:- It is feature of SolidWorks to remove material projecting sketched section normal to the sketching plne.
• Dome:- It can apply dome shape structure on surface. 
• Split:- this feature used to devide model faces into two. split line must be oriented so that they will pass through model faces when projected normal to the sketch plane.
• Projected Curve:- It is used to create bi-directional projection tht extends on both side and used as a path for a sweep.
• Composite Curve:- It is a guide curve created by combining other curves, sketches, geometry, and model edges into a single curve.

3) Surface Modeling:- 

The geometry which has zero thickness known as a surface. Surface Modeling is a method of creating complex geometry. we convert surface model in solid models or extract surface from a solid model.

some of the surface commands are as follows:

• Extruded Surface:- It is the feature used to create Extrude surface of selected sketch contours in one or selected directions to create surface feature. 
• Lofted Surface:- when we had to create surface between two or more profile sketchs there will be losted surface tool help. 
• Boundary Surface:- The Boundary surface has function same as lofted surface but in most cases it delivers higher quality result than loft.
• Revolved Surface:- To create surface revolved around axis of sketch contour used Revolved surface tool.
• Swept Surface:- To sweep a closed profile along open or closed path to create surface.
• Filled Surface:- To patch a surface within boundary defined by edges, sketches or curves. 
• Ruled Surfaces:- to create surfaces that extend out in a specified direction from selected edges.
• Trim Surface:- It trim the surface where a surface overlap or intersect with another surface, a plane or sketch.
• Knit Surface:- To combine two or surfaces into a single surface body. if surface joint at an edge and encloses a volume then we can create solid body.
• Extedn Surface:-  To Extend edges or faces on a surface on end condition and extension type.
• Offset Surface:- To create offset of a surface at a gap this tool helps.
• Mirror Surface:- It is most benefitial tool helps designer to for making whole body it create mirror copy of half or selcted sketch. whenever modification made in original feature or sketch it also modified in mirrored body.
• Refence Plane:- Planes are view orientaion of of observer but if we need view prospective to object we can insert a reference plane.
• Fillet:- Rounding of corners or edges in a sketch is called fillet on a surface.

BLUEPRINT:-

Blueprint is a ligh sensitive sheet used in production of details drawing of a design using contact print process.

In design methodology first we setup blue prints as a refence how should be our assembly or parts looks like while we are modeling.

It is also used as a guide and easy to read and understand.

PROPELLER:-

Propeller is the rotory object which is responsible of forward movement of Yatch by producing thrust on water. there can be one, two or three proller depending upon the desing. propeller works on the newtons third law and benaulis theorem.

• Firt of all creating Assembly file in SolidWorks software and save it in proper destination.
• After that all the parts inserted into assembly file with the help of insert component feature.
• After that different mates such as coincident mate, angle mate, distance mate etc. applied to fix parts at their place.

Front View 

Rear View 

Side View

          3). RENDERING:-

In rendering means after final modeling or assembling place model into real environment and observer its appearance or ergonimics view.

Rendering is very important because we designing to work in real world and in SolidWorks Visualize very helpfull to render an model into real environment.

CONCLUSION:-

• SolidWork is greate software in Mechanical Designing 
• SolidWork Visualize is also helpfull for rendering in real environement, scenarios etc.
• we learned Modeling of some parts of Sunseeker Predator Yatch, Assembel them in SolidWorks software and Render it in SolidWorks Visualize.
