American Chopper_ Photo Realistic Rendering

1. Create a sketch.
2. Click Make Block. (Blocks toolbar) or Tools > Block > Make . ...
3. Select the sketch entities you want to make as a block for Block Entities.
4. Click .
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each of the remaining sketch entities.
6. With the sketch in edit mode, add the necessary relations.
7. Save the part.

Dynamic Mirror:

         Dynamic Mirror Entities used to be more limited in the past as user was only allowed to use this tool with a center-line as the mirror line.

Patterns:

        The Curve Driven Pattern tool allows you to create patterns along a planar or 3D curve. To define the pattern, you can use any sketch segment, or the edge of a face (solid or surface), that lies along the plane. You can base your pattern on an open curve, or on a closed curve, such as a circle.

 

Procedure to Model a Part:

•    The sketch of the chain has been created as per dimensions with three point arc and giving tangent relations between the arcs and fully constrained in the respected Plane.
•    Sketch the inner plate and outer plate of the chain  and save has a blocks to insert wherever we need to connect
•    The created chain linkes and pins are populated on the main sketch using the linear pattern and circular pattern feature.
•    All the chain links are mirrored in the opposite side of plates to complete the model
•    Carbon steel Appearance are given to the Chain.

 

4. Rear Fender

             Fenders make a tremendous difference when you are riding roads that are wet from drizzle, recent rain, or snowmelt. In a hard rain, you may become wet with clean rain from above, but fenders will protect your body and bicycle from the mud and sand kicked up from dirty puddles and rivulets.

              

     Features that are used to model this component as follows

•   Sketch
•   Offset Entities
•   Trim Entities
•   Revolve
•   Fillet
•   Shell
•   Appearance

Trim Entities:

          Trim type based on the entities you want to trim or extend. All trim types are available with 2D sketches and 2D sketches on 3D planes.

 

Revolve:

         The sketch for a solid revolved feature can contain multiple intersecting profiles. With the Selected Contours  pointer (available when you click Selected Contours in the PropertyManager), you can select one or more intersecting or non-intersecting sketches to create the revolve.

Shell:

        The shell tool hollows out a part, leaves open the faces you select, and creates thin-walled features on the remaining faces. If you do not select any face on the model, you can shell a solid part, creating a closed, hollow model. You can also shell a model using multiple thicknesses.

 

Procedure to Model a Part:

•    The sketch of the Rear Fender has been created as per dimensions in front plane using three and offset it as per dimersions of thickness to fender and fully constrained in the respected Plane.
•   Create an axis at the origin 
•   Using Revolve Boss the required fender has been created.
•   Fillets are given in the shart edges of the fender.
•   Required Appearance are given to the fender.

 

5. Rear Wheel

          Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) is a form of engine and transmission layout used in motor vehicles, where the engine drives the rear wheels only.

 Chamfer:

          A chamfer is an angled cut made across the corner of a material, to remove the 90-degree edge. It is similar to a bevel cut, but does not extend across the entire profile of the material, instead, it creates a flattened corner.

Circular Pattern:

         Use circular patterns to create multiple instances of one or more features that you can space uniformly around an axis.

 

Procedure to Model a Part:

 

         Initially the rim is created by sketch with given dimensions on plane and revolved using an axis at the origin. A spider web design is created on the plane and extruded using mid plane extrude feature. The web is cirular patterned to required number to complete the rim. Then combined to form a single component.

 

         Sketch on the front plane with given dimensions and extrude the sketch. Create a holes on the extrude part and give reuired number of circular patterns.

 

         Create a profile of a sketch using lines and circles and make the extrude with the mid plane. To complete the model give a necessary fillets and chamfer.

 

         Sketch a circle and extrude it to the requried thickness. Applt chamfer at the edges and create a tooth profile of  extrude and cut it . Give fillets at the outer egdes of the model.

         Create the final sprocket using circular pattern feature and give required number of  teeth.

 

         Sketch is created by converting entities of the rim and the tire is revoled. Then profiles are created on the surface  of the tire and give the grips to the tire.

10. Front Fork

                   The front fork is the two long tubular things that hold the front wheel on the bike. That is but one function of the fork. They also move up and down to soak up bumps in the road surface like a car shock absorber does. The spring allows the fork leg to compress over a bump and then "spring back ".

Project Curve:

          Create a Curve as the intersection of two projected sketches. Note that the projections from one sketch must intersect the other in one contiguous curve for this operation to succeed. The resulting Curve feature is listed in the Feature list and the curve itself is listed in the Parts list (when selecting a curve, use the Parts list).

Sweep:

          Define a shape using a selected region profile, curves, or planar face moving along a path (either solid or surface). Create a new part or modify an existing one by adding or removing material, or intersecting parts in its path.

•   Apply the sweep Boss and select the PRofile and Path to form the Handle bar.
•   Select all the bodies and Mirror with the support of mid plane
•   Combine the entire components.
•   Apply the appearance that part needed.

 

11. Chassis

                It is the backbone of vehicle on which total load of vehicle is applied. The components of vehicle like power plant, transmission system, Axils, wheels, electrical system are mounted on chassis.

•   The chassis of the tube is made with the required thickness.
•   Create the project curve with the two sketches and make sweep. Follow the steps for more tubes.
•   At last the tubes are connected to panel and further chassis is extended the rear wheel hub.     

 

12. Engine

              Basically, a dual exhaust system allows the engine to breathe better creating a more complete combustion cycle from the engine.

13. Fuel/Gas Tank

                  A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids. Though any storage tank for fuel may be so called, the term is typically applied to part of an engine system in which the fuel is stored and propelled (fuel pump) or released (pressurized gas) into an engine.

Loft Surface:

          Loft Surfaces are surfaces generated by multiple 3D Curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves. Match Points are created between each selection denoting the orientation and path of the loft surface.

Filled Surface:

         To fill surface from a set of curves or/and edges by filling the region inside the set of curves or/and edges. An only connected set of curves/edges can use to create a surface.

Sweep Surface:

         Sweep Surfaces are surfaces that are generated from a section curve positioned along a path. Various Sweep types are available to extend the sweep.

Trim Surface:

         You can use a surface, plane, or sketch as a trim tool to trim intersecting surfaces. You can also use a surface in conjunction with additional surfaces, as mutual trim tools

Knit Surface:

          Use the Knit Surface  tool to combine two or more faces and surfaces into one.
