MODELLING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER

INTODUCTION

Orange County Choppers (OCC) bikes are motorcycles featured on the television series American Chopper built by OCC for a specific corporate or celebrity customer. American Chopper is an American reality television series that airs on discovery channel, produced by pilgrim films & television. The series centers on Paul Teutul Sr and his son Paul Teutul Jr who manufacture custom chopper-style motorcycles.

SOFTWARE

SolidWorks was developed by MIT graduate Jon Hirschtick and was bought by Dassault Systems in 1997. The software now encompasses a number of programs that can be used for both 2D and 3D design. It a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering, is one of the most popular software options for mechatronics engineers

OBJECTIVE

• To design individual part of American Chopper in SolidWorks
• To assemble all the parts of American Chopper
• To create a final rendering

FLOWCHART

FEATURES USED TO CREATE

• SKETCH

It is used to represent 2D sketch for convertion of 3D model. By using sketch entities like line, circle, fillet, chamfer, trim, mirror etc.

• EXTRUDE BOSS

It is used to convert 2D sketch to solid body, when the sketch is complete closed. We can also convert a line into a solid body by giving thickness.

• EXTRUDE CUT

It is same as extrude boss but it is used to remove material from solid body to get desire model

• LOFT

The loft feature in SolidWorks allows you generate complex geometry in a single feature. It does this by interpolating surfaces between various cross-sections of a model. These cross-sections can be sketches, faces, or edges. In the loft interface, these cross-sections are considered

• LOFT SURFACE

Loft surfaces are surfaces generated by multiple 3D curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves. Match points are created between each selection denoting the orientation and path of the loft surface

• DOME

It is a curved formation or structure. It is shaped like half of a sphere

• FILLET

Fillet rounds edges at a specified radius. It is used to create sharped edges into round edges. It gives life time to the product by reducing the chances of cracks

• SPLIT

It is used to create multiple parts from an existing part.

• OFFSET

Offset entities takes a copy of your existing geometry, model face or surface and copies it at an offset. Instead of recreating, you can use this to quickly

• APPEARANCE

An appearance defines the visual properties of a model, including color and texture. Appearances do not affect physical properties, which are defined by materials. Every material is assigned a default appearance that emulates the look of the material contents

• TRIM

The Trim tool is mainly used for removing unwanted parts or portions from your design

• REVOLVE

Revolves add or remove material by revolving one or more profiles around a centerline. You can create revolved boss/bases, revolved cuts, or revolved surfaces. The revolve feature can be a solid, a thin feature, or a surface

• DYNAMIC MIRROR

Select the dynamic mirror entities tool to first select the entity about which to mirror, and then sketch the entities to mirror

• PATTERNS

Pattern tool allows you to create patterns along the line or curve. To define the pattern, you can use any sketch segment, or the edge of a face (solid or surface), that lies along the plane. You can base your pattern on an open curve, or on a closed curve, such as a circle.

• COMBINE

The common function allows you to add two bodies together, and keep the area that is common to them

• SHELL

The shell tool hollows out a part, leaves open the faces you select, and creates thin-walled features on the remaining faces

• CHAMFER

The chamfer tool creates a beveled feature on selected edges, faces, or a vertex

• PLANE

It helps to design a sketch in a distance, angle from the origin

• MOVE/COPY BODIES

It is useful when a part is needed to be shown in multiple configurations. It takes a body, copies it, and moves it to the desired location

• PROJECT CURVE

A sketch projected to a model face or surface, or from sketched lines on intersecting planes

• COMPOSITE CURVE

It helps to convert two different lines into a single line and also help to join the broken curves

• SWEEP

It creates a base, boss, cut, or surface by moving a profile (section) along a path, according to these rules: The profile must be closed for a base or boss sweep feature; the profile may be open or closed for a surface sweep feature. The path may be open or closed.

• CONVERT ENTITIES

It allows users to make a copied projection of a given sketch, face, or set of edges onto the active sketch plane

FEATURES

• MATE

Mates create geometric relationships between assembly components. As you add mates, you define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the components. You can move a component within its degrees of freedom, visualizing the assembly's behavior.

• PHOTO VIEW 360

Photo View 360 is a SolidWorks add-in that produces photo-realistic renderings of SolidWorks models. The rendered image incorporates the appearances, lighting, scene, and decals included with the model.
