FINAL INDEPENDENT PROJECT
Modified Road master pickup combination of solar
Objective
This is the final independent project report on Ultimate solid works course about ideation, Design and modelling of Solar Electrical Road Master pickup in Solid works.
The main Aim of the project is understand various challenges in creating and how to represent as final working model through various design features in Solid works.
Ideation
To Reduce the transportation cost at light loads over short distances, These vehicle use for intracity low tonnage cargo delivery, like Postal and courier services or Home delivery of Appliances from dealer to customer.
Geometric Dimension
The Project is modeled using conceptual dimensions with using Road Master pickup Blue print and Rough Dimensions where obtained from the Solar Electrical Road Master pickup Model And the parts to be modeled are Sketched based on suitable Dimensions.
Part modeling
This is the second phase of the project .From ideation images a concept Sketch is developed and the parts modeled for Solar Electric Road master pickup is derived. The parts were developed feature based modeling and surface through a direct and initiative graphical manipulation. The parts to be modeled are given below the table.

Chassis
Chassis forms the bae of the model and also supporting frame for mounting various parts of the vehicle
It has three main parts
Synchronous Motor
Wheel mounting Frame
Overhanging Front Frame
Features involved
Sketch
Boss Extrude
Sweep
Mirror feature
Fillet
Front Axle
It is support the Break drum and Rack and pinion Gear, its carries the weight of the front part, front axle are dead axle.
Features involved
Boss Extrude
Fillet
Mirror Feature
REAR AXLE
Rear axle use to carry the weight of the vehicle as well as to facilitate to transmit the drive to rear wheels, generally rear axle drives power obtained from the differential is transmitted to the rear wheels through the rear axle.
Features involved
Boss Extrude
BREAK DRUM
Break drum mounted on front Axle and it support the wheels
Features involved

ASSEMBLY
The parts are designed are assembled through a bottom top approach. As said chassis forms the base and fixed to the Assembly. All other parts are mounted using appropriate mating conditions.
PROCEDURE
- The chassis inserted to Assembly model is fixed.
- The front Axle Are inserted along suitable axis and fixed using parallel, coincidence and distance mates
- Break Drum and Rack and pinion mechanism fixed to the Axle.
- Rear axle are also inserted along axis using coincidence and concentric mates.
- The Four wheels Are inserted and rotated Along suitable axis and fixed using coincidence and concentric mate
- Then Body is mounted Above the chassis.
- Battery module mounted on the body
- The moving Parts of the assembly are hood ,right door, Left door, Back door, Rack and pinion ,wheels.
- Mates Involved
- Parallel mate
- Coincident mate
- Distance mate
- Concentric mate
- Limit Angle mate
- Rack and pinion Mate
RENDERING
- Finally the model is rendered using good passes and maximum render quality.
- The images are shown below

CONCLUSION
- Thus the complete solar is modelled and simulated using solid works, photo view 360 and solid work visualize. Thus the feature based modelling and simulation concepts were grasped thoroughly and modelling and simulation skills in solid works.
PROJECT SCOPE
- Thus the project can be used in future to use increase dimension by 1:5 ratio and also add additional motion to engine units and complete working model can be simulated by adding further more components (like bearings, springs, breaks steering mechanism…) and Gear system with differential unit.
