ASSEMBLY OF AMERICAN CHOPPER:-
Main Assembly:-
Initially, the chassis part is inserted in the assembly by using insert part in the option. After that the part is inserted in the assembly environment and clicked ok to fix the chasiss.
After that the other parts of the chopper are inserted into the assembly and given possible mate conditions.
Feature Used in Assembly.
Mates
Insert Part
Mates:- Mates create geometric relation between assembly components. As we add mates, we define the allowable direction of linear or rotational motion of the components. We can move components within its degrees of freedom, Visualizing the assembly behavior.
Insert Parts:-
We can insert the other components which need to be mated with the prime fixed component.
RENDERING:-
- Rendering is the process of creating realistic image of the photorealistic model with the environment.
- Rendering has been done in two ways in solidworks. The following are two ways.
Photo view 360
Solid-work Visualize.
- In the photo realistic model some of the mate condition and positions are changed to render realistic models.
- Then the photo realistic model is rendered into realistic image with different views.
CONCLUSION:-
- The part of American Chopper are molded.
- The part are inserted into the assembly environment and American Chopper is assembled.
- The photo realistic image was rendered with the use of the Photo-view 360 and solid-Work Visualise.
I would like to thank my mentor Mr. Soundar Rajan for helping me with the challenges I faced while modelling.
