🛥️ Recreational Boat Design Using SOLIDWORKS
In this project, a 3D recreational yacht was designed using SOLIDWORKS.
The main goal of this design was to simulate the realistic form of the boat’s hull, internal structure, and mechanical components.

⚙️ Design Stages:
1. Hull Design:
Using Surface Modeling tools such as Loft, Boundary Surface, and Knit, the aerodynamic shape of the hull was created to ensure proper balance and stability on the water.
2. Frame & Structure Creation:
The metal frame of the boat was built using the Weldments module.
Beams, columns, and reinforcing frames were designed to withstand wave pressure and provide structural strength.
3. Interior and Cabin Design:
The interior space, including seats, dashboard, cabin, and control area, was designed using Assembly Design and detailed modeling in the Part environment.
4. Adding Mechanical Components:
The propulsion system (engine, shaft, propeller, and fuel tanks) was assembled in the Assembly environment to make the model more realistic.
5. Analysis and Simulation:
Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation, the structural strength and hydrodynamic pressure were analyzed to ensure the hull’s durability and stability.
6. Rendering and Visualization:
Finally, with SOLIDWORKS Visualize, realistic renderings of the boat were created to present the final model in a visually appealing way.
