Challenge 7 : Concept Modelling of Steering Wheel

1.Title of the Project:

  • Surfaces for Steering Wheel.

2.Objective:

  • To build the Surfaces for Steering Wheel using given Image (Trace).

3.Introduction:

  • In this Autodesk Alias is a family of Computer-aided industrial design (CAID) software predominantly used in Automotive Design and Industrial Design for generating Class A surfaces using Bezier surface and NURBS modeling method.
  • We are using this to Design to build the Surfaces for Steering Wheel Traced from the given Image of Bluerprints.

4.Design Methodology / Approach:(To be explained with the help of Flowcharts only)

  • Using Autodesk Alias 2020 Software, to build the surface using the curves model.
  • Using New Page to create and Import that Canvas Image Front View, Top View, Side View, Back View.
  • Using Cube box to create and construct into the box
  • Alignment that Canvas Image size On Using Scale tool and Create New layers Option to seperate the layer.
  • Using the Curve Tools in Palette Tool Box Option to New CV curve Tool to trace that model image.
  • Extend tool to using endpoint of surface to extending the surface and projecting area and trim it out unwanted area
  • Using Blend Curve Create tool to creating the edge to perfect curve.
  • Using spans and Degree to Adjust the curve line to trace the image model.
  • And Using Surface option to create the shape for model by surface tool.
  • Using Detach Tool to separate the curves and surface area.
  • And Creating Curves line to trim that un wanted surface to remove it.
  • Using Project / Intersect tool to projecting the curve line to the surface area.
  • Using trim / Untrim Tool to using trimming area.
  • Using Symmetry to trace the curves plane.
  • Checking the surface continuity tool to whether the surface plane are in continuity line.
  • Surface Option using that Skin Tool is using that controlling that curve are in continuity.
  • Controlling the surfae area continuity by the Free Boundary, G0 Position, G1 Tangent, G2 Curvature, Implied Tangent, Implied Curvature, Tangent Angle.
  • Using freefrom blend Tool to controlling the continuity by using position, curvature, Tangent.
  • Using Align Tool to merge the both surface to continuity.
  • Using Birail Gen 1 Surface Tool to creating surface area.
  • And Using the Diagonstic shade to View the model of the image.

5.Description (Need to explain tools/ Features used while designing) along with the images of Part files.

  • Curves (New CV Curve Tool) : Creating NURBS Curves in the scene by placing CVs.
  • Keypoint Curve Tool : Using Circle and Ellipse to create two major axis point to create curves.
  • Blend Curve Create Tool : Let You Create and Edit blend curves in the scene by placing location constraints
  • Blend Curve Edit Tool : Let You Edit the Blend direction and continuity point.
  • Extend : Curve Lines can be Extended to that paticular area.
  • Detech Tool : Separate a curve or surface two or more object.
  • Align Tool : Align a curves or surface edge to another curve or surface edge.
  • Skin Tool : Create a surface across a set of cross.
  • Duplicate Curve Tool : Duplicate any curves that are picked when you click the tool, and any curves ou click while the tool is active.
  • Cube Tool : Create a cube composed of six group NURBS plane.
  • Layers : Layers can be Assign that image to hide and mark and Pick to use.
  • Degree And Spans : using this type to control that curves line to alinment that shape to trace that image.
  • Surface Control : The Continuity Table displays one row for each boundary curve involved in the Square operation.
  • Project : Project is that surface of the image can be project any curves in that surface area.
  • Trim : Trim option is used to be remove unwanted surface area by projecting tool.
  • Duplicate Curve Tool : Duplicate any curve that are picked when you click the tool and any curves while the tool is active.
  • Surface Fillet Tool : Create a Transition Surface Between two surface or set of surface.
  • Freeform Blend Tool : Create a Transitional Surface Based on two inputs contact lines.
  • Birail Gen I Surface Tool : Creates a surface by sweeping one or more profile curves along one or two path curves.
  • Square Tool : Creates surface by blending four boundary curves while maintaining continuity with adjusent surface.
  • Multi Blend Tool : Fills a hole by creating a surface three or more Input edges.
  • Surface Continuity Tool : Checks The positional, Tangent plane and curvature continuity between and inside surface.
  • Diagonstic Shade : This tool can be giving that shape for texture and Colour for that model.

6.Upload a min of 4 screenshots of Model in the report. (For eg:-Front View, Side View, Isometric View and the Top View)

Assignment :

7.Conclusion :

  • On Overall The technique of overbuilding surfaces, align surface with continuity check and then intersecting and trimming them can be used to create detailed design.
