PROJECT REPORT

AMERICAN CHOPPER

Aim:

To sketch all parts of an American Chopper and assemble all the parts together by using Solid works.

Objectives:

  • To sketch all the parts of an American Chopper with fully defined.
  • To assemble all parts of an American Chopper with fully defined.
  • To render the assembly by Photo view 360o and to know all rendering options.

Procedure:

  • Transmission Belt

It is a belt which is used to transfer power from one shaft to another.

Tools used:

  • Extrude
  • Fillet

Rendered image:

  • Kick stand

It is a metal bar or rod attached to a bicycle or motorcycle that is used to support the vehicle when it is stationary and when it is not in use.

Tools used:

  • Loft
  • Dome
  • Extrude Cut
  • Split
  • Extrude
  • Fillet

  • Oil Tank

It’s primary function is to store oil in the tank and pump it into an internal combustion engine.

Tools used:

  • Extrude
  • Combine
  • Fillet
  • Shell

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Pedal

It is a pair of foot – operated levers used for powering a bicycle or other vehicle propelled by the legs.

Tools used:

  • Extrude
  • Fillet
  • Revolve
  • Dome
  • Chamfer
  • Linear Pattern

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Chain

It is a way of transmitting mechanical from output shaft of the transmission to the rear wheel and often used to convey power to the wheels of a vehicle.

Tools used:

  • Extrude
  • Fillet
  • Curve Driven Pattern
  • Mirror

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Front Wheel

It is steer-able, which means that power has to be transmitted at very variable angle.

Tools used:

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

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Rear Wheel

The entire weight of the bike is on the rear wheel and where power is applied and it makes them driven wheel.

Tools used:

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

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Front Fork

It is where the front wheel is connected and act as large hydraulic shock absorbers with internal coil springs.

Tools used:

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

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Engine

It is used to convert power to produce motion and force. In motorcycle we use internal combustion engine, which burn a fuel to create heat and then used to do work.

Tools used:

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

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Chassis

It is a base frame of the vehicle at which engine, pedal, rear wheel, front fork are mounted.

Tools used:

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

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Gas Tank

It is a tank which is attached in vehicle and where the driver seat is also placed.

Tools used:

  • Surface Sweep
  • Surface Trim
  • Curve
  • Surface Loft
  • Boundary Surface
  • Mirror
  • Surface Knit
  • Split Line
  • Surface Extrude
  • Fillet
  • Sweep Cut
  • Shell

CAD Model image:

Rendered image:

  • Chopper Assembly

All parts of the American Chopper had done and assembly of the Chopper parts are done with different mates.

Mates used:

  • Midplane mate
  • Tangent
  • Coincident
  • Parallel
  • Distance mate
  • Angle mate
  • Width mate
  • Concentric
  • Mirroring of Pedal

Assembly image:

Rendered image:

  • Rendering

It is the process of generating the photo realistic image from 2D or 3D models. It is also process of adding camera, decals and light to the model, giving it realistic appearance.

Tools used:

  • Edit Appearance
  • Edit Scene
  • Edit Decal
  • Integrated Preview
  • Preview Window
  • Final Render
  • Option
  • Schedule Render
  • Camera
  • Light

Conclusion:

Before starting the course, I thought that it was easy but it was very challenging to complete the parts of the American Chopper. During challenges, I had learned about how to use project curves, split tool, dome, and combine options. I also had known about rendering and different mating options.

This course is really helped to improve my skills in Solid works.
