MODELLING AND ASSEMBLY OF HARLEY-DAVDISON REVIVAL

MODELLING AND ASSEMBLY OF HARLEY-DAVDISON REVIVAL:

• ABSTRACT:
  • Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
  • CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
  • CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space.
  • CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics and many more.
  • In this project we have to Design and Modelling of an Electric Motorcycle using SOLIDWORKS.

• INTRODUCTION:

  • Electric Motorcycle is a modification of conventional bike which uses electric motor to replace the Engine.
  • It reduces the uses of motor bikes which reduces the pollution as it is eco-friendly vehicle.
  • In this project is to Design and Modelling of “HARLEY-DAVDISON REVIVAL ”using Solidworks, by using Part Modelling. Surface Modelling and converting them to 3D models.
  • Assembling the parts to create the final model and giving it a realistic view by rendering the model.
  • The model is created in SOLIDWORKS 2017.
  • The Assembled model is rendered using PHOTOVIEW 360 & SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE.

       • Chamfer: The chamfer tool creates a beveled feature on selected edges, faces, or a vertex.
       • Shell: Removes material from a solid body to create a thin walled feature.
       • Reference Geometry: It defines the shape or form of a surface or a solid.It includes items such as planes, axes, coordinate systems, and points. You can use reference geomentry in the creation of several kinds of features.
       • Curves: You can create several types of 3D curves.
       • Dome: Select one or more planar or non-planar faces you can apply domes to faces whose centroid lies outside the face this allows you to apply domes to irregularly shaped countours.

       • Split: It is able to split faces on multiple bodies.
       • Pattern: Pattern repeats the selected features in an array based on a seed feature. You can create a linear pattern, a circular pattern, a curve driven pattern, a fill pattern, or use sketch points or table coordinates to create the pattern.
       • Mirror: Mirror copies the selected features or all features, mirroring them about the selected plane or face.
    3. SURFACING:
       
       • Surfaces are a type of geometry that can be used to create solid features. Surface tools are available on the Surfaces toolbar.

  • Visualize project is used to create relaistic environment and the rendereing is done.

  • The rendered images are attached below with different environment and backgrounds.

  • Front View:
    • 
  • Side View:
    • 
  • Top View:

• CONCLUSION:

  • Thus a complete Electric Motorcycle is modeling using SOLIDWORKS, Photoview 360 & Solidworks Visualize.
  • This project give me a understanding of how to create a model from blueprint to 3D model.
  • The parts are assembled together to get a final model and I learn the different ways to assemble the parts by applying the different mates.
  • The assembly was rendered in photoview 360 and solidworks visualize by using different environments.
