Challenge 7 : Concept Modelling of Steering Wheel

• Title of the Project: Concept Modelling of Mercedes amg steering wheel.

• Objective: To do the concept modelling of Mercedes amg steering wheel using the blueprint by the help of auto desk alias

• Introduction: Autodesk alias can be used to create a detailed 3d model of the Mercedes amg steering wheel. by using the certain tool in the software. By importing the image of car’s sterring wheel .we can use it to create surfaces. We have to use our perspective to create detailed surfaces of the Mercedes amg steering wheel.

.

Design methodology / approach the whole approach of this project can be explained with this flow chart

1. Stage 1: Import the front view of streeing wheel and scale the canvas image accordingly .

• Stage 2: As you can see the whole suture is much complex and needs to dived in serval parts to get optimum surface follow . for the outer part of the wheel we dived the parts as
• Stage 3 : Now for the inner surfaces we must deivde regions accorging to the flows . we are going with this
• Stage 4: Now for the streeing wheel start making the curves and try to allign it ccording to the fig. Like this
• Stage 5: now with the help of curves and tools like skin and square or rail start making curves according to the image
• Stage 6: now focus on the inner horn pad part since it will be bit elevated from the rest make a new layer for it. By using curves and trim command get the required shape .work on detailing with the logs.
• Stage 7:now we will be focusing on the middle area of the horn pad and steering wheel. We will use draft tool to generate surafes as well as trim the surfaces to get the desied surfaces
• Stage 8: now as we are having this many surfaces we have to check for continuity and locators. make sure that we achieve maximum continuity like this
• Final stage: now there are certain special surfaces that we have to focus on to get achive results use our vision to generate them by rails or skin or draft cmd. Try to get maximum details as possible

• Description : the whole structure of bumper can be created by using alias.There are several tools that were used in the making of the project. Tools like:
  1. Skin: skin tool that can be used to create surfaces from one curve or surface to other curves or surfaces.
  2. Rail: surface can be created by using generation curve and rail curve
  3. Project : a curve can be projected on the any surface that already exists.
  4. Trim:unwanted surfaces can be trimed from the surface to make whole
  5. Freeform blend: this can be used in special area where we want cure in a bend part like this, we can adjust the shape of the surface according to requirement
  6. Symmetry: this tool can be used symmetry the already created surfaces .this will help to create a pattern that can be duplicated further. Now by using the create geometry command in the symmetry option create a surface.
  7. Align : align the surfaces to conunity to make the surfaces make flow good
  8. Draft: using draft create surfaces at a angle and certain length
  Conclusion: the concept modelling of Mercedes amg steering wheel using the blueprint by the help of auto desk alias was completed
