Project Report

American Chopper

AIM

To achieve knowledge on solid, surface modelling and assembly, rendering tools by modelling a photorealistic American chopper using solid works and photoview 360.

OBJECTIVE

To build all the parts of an American chopper by using solid and surface modelling tools and to assemble the multiple parts into a single chopper by assembling and rendering them more realistic by using photoview 360.

Components of chopper

• Chassis
• Engine
• Transmission belt
• Chain
• Pedal
• Kickstand
• Front fork
• Front fender
• Front wheel
• Rear fender
• Real wheel
• Oil tank
• Gas tank

Procedure

Chassis

The chassis is the back bone of the chopper in which all the components are mounted. It is a load bearing structure for the vehicle. This model acts as the base component for the assembly.

Tools used

• Curve
• Sweep
• Mirror
• Extrude
• Cut Extrude
• Chamfer
• Fillet
• Split
• Combine
• Mirror

Engine

Engine is the power house of the chopper. It is a device used to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy and which provides power for the movement of vehicle.

Tools used

• Extrude
• Fillet
• Revolve
• Circular Pattern
• Dome
• Chamfer
• Fillet
• Mirror
• Split
• Sweep
• Composite Curve

Transmission belt

Transmission belt is used to transmit power from engine to gearbox.

Tools used

• Fillet
• Extrude

CAD model

Chain

Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another and it is used to convey power to the wheels of a vehicle.

Tools used

• Extrude
• Fillet
• Curve driven pattern
• Mirror

Pedal

Pedals are mounted on the external side of the chassis and it also acts as a footrest for the rider.

Tools used

• Spline
• Extrude
• Extrude Cut
• Mirror
• Dome
• Chamfer

Kickstand

Kickstand is mounted on the chassis and used to support the chopper when not in motion.

Tools used

• Spline
• Loft
• Split
• Extrude
• Cut Extrude
• Dome

Front fork

Front fork connects the chassis and the front wheel of the chopper and it also provides the driving mechanism for the chopper.

Tools used

• Revolve
• Extrude
• Fillet
• Linear Pattern
• Dome
• Cut Revolve
• Fillet
• Combine

CAD model

Front fender

Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire.

Tools used:

• Spline
• Fillet
• Extrude
• Split
• Revolve

CAD model

Rear fender

Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire.

Tools used

• Spline
• Fillet
• Extrude
• Split
• Revolve

Rendered model

CAD model

Front wheel

Front wheel helps the rider to steer the vehicle in their required direction and it stabilize the chopper with the road and also helps in moving the vehicle

Tools used

• Revolve
• Extrude
• Cut Extrude
• Circular Pattern
• Chamfer
• Fillet
• Combine

Rendered model

CAD model

Rear wheel

The output power from the gear box is transmitted to the rear wheel and it holds the entire weight of the chopper and provides the movement to the vehicle.

Tools used

• Revolve
• Extrude
• Cut Extrude
• Circular Pattern
• Chamfer
• Fillet
• Combine

Rendered model

CAD model

Oil tank

Oil tank is to store the oil for lubrication and pumped to the engine.

Tools used

• Spline
• Fillet
• Extrude
• Combine
• Shell

Rendered model

CAD model

Gas tank

The main purpose of gas tank is to store the fuel for the engine and pumping to the engine at the time of lubrication.

Tools used

• Surface Sweep
• Surface Trim
• Surface Loft
• Boundary Surface
• Surface Knit
• Sweep cut
• Fillet
• Mirror
• Shell

Assembly of chopper

Every individual modelled part of the America chopper is successfully designed and the parts are assembled with each other in a proper way to describe the structure of chopper using solidworks assembly feature.

Tools used:

• Mid plane mate
• Tangent mate
• Coincident
• Parallel
• Perpendicular
• Distance mate
• Angle mate
• Concentric
• Width mate
• Mirroring of pedal

Rendering of chopper

Rendering is used to convert the cad model appearance into a photorealistic view using photoview 360 feature in solidworks by adding the lights, camera, decals etc. The rendering has been done for the chopper and the output is given below.

Tools used:

• Edit appearance
• Edit scene
• Edit decal
• Integrated preview
• Preview window
• Final render
• Schedule render
• Camera
• Light

Conclusion

The modelling of every individual part of the chopper is completed and assembled in solidworks and also the rendered photorealistic view is given for the chopper using photoview 360.
