Photo Realistic Rendering
Design and Assembly of American Copper Bike Using SolidWorks.
OBJECTIVE.
The Aim of this project is to design and assembly The American Copper Bike and give a realistic view using Photo 360.
INTRODUCTION:-
SolidWorks is a 3D mechanical CAD program that helps in product development solution that lets you also conceptualize create ,validate, manage and transform your innovative ideas into great product designs
SolidWorks provides a full range of integrated modelling, simulation, visualization, communication and validation tools that product designers need to develop better products faster and at lower cost. In addition, its unique capabilities enable the mechanical designer to concentrate on the product design.
Modules in SolidWorks
SolidWorks extends design applications through full integration with best-in-class solutions.
The following modules will be discussed in the concepts
- Sketching
- Part Modelling
- Assembly Modelling
- Surface Modelling
- Sheet Metal Design
- Rendering
- Drawing
This project includes Sketching, Part, Assembly, Surface Modelling, and Rendering giving a Real view using Photo view 360.
METHODOLOGY.
Terms to Beginning SOLIDWORKS: Origin, Plane, Axis, Face, Edge and Vertex
Origin Marked with blue with three axis X,Y and Y . this is the centre point where XYZ planes meet. Origin is shown only when there is a active sketch. Origin represents (0,0,0) co ordinate system
Plane:- Is a construction geometry used for making 2D sketches.
Axis:- Centre straight line used for References.
Face:- particular side of a mould.
Edge:- Intersection of two or more faces or planes.
Vertex- Intersection point of two or more lines or faces.
SKETCH CREATION TOOLS
- Sketch Elements: Origin, Plane, Driving dimensions, Driven dimensions, Sketch definitions, Sketch complexity, Where to start a sketch and Sketch snaps.
- Sketch Entities: Inference line, Line, Centerline line, Mid-point line, Circle, Perimeter circle, Arc, Ellipse, Rectangle, Slot, Polygon, Parabola, Spline, Equation driven curve, Point, Text, and grid. Sketch Relations: Co-incident, Co-linear, Concentric, Equal, Fix, Merge, Parallel, Perpendicular, Symmetric and Tangent.
- Dimensions: Smart dimension, Instant 2D, Horizontal dimension, Vertical dimension, locking dimension, Ordinate dimension, Path length dimension, Dimension between two arcs, using centreline for radial and diameter dimensions, and Fully define sketch.
SKETCH EDITING TOOLS
Sketch tools: Construction geometry, Fillet, Chamfer, Offset, convert entities, Trim, Extend, Split, Jog, Mirror, Dynamic Mirror, Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale, Stretch, and Sketch patterns, make a path, Close Sketch to Model, Sketch picture, Check Sketch for Feature
Blocks: Make a block, edit a block, insert block, rebuild block, save block, and explode block.
Sketch diagnosis, sketch expert, Rapid sketch.
Line- Line is the staring command in the sketching tool for making simple lines or complex shapes
Circle- circle tool is used to make circular shapes in the drawing plane.
Rectangle – suing this tools four sides shapes are drawn like rectangle, square and different types of parallelogram based on geometric preferences like centre point of sides.
Spline- Smooth curve defined my set of centre points which can be deleted or edited.
Ellipse- sketch a complete ellipse.
Arc- a small part of circle.
Mirror Entities Reflected copy of an selected entities about a reference axis or plane
Move entities: Move entities to a desired location.
Liner sketch Patterns- making a copies of sketch in desired direction
Convert Entities:- allow you copy edges or mould to active sketch and they are fully defined.
Intersection Curve: - Intersion cure is a open cureve sketch. Different kinds of intersetions are
A plane and surface or a model face.
Two faces
A surface and a model face.
A plane and the entire part
A surface and the entire part
Trim entities:- Required sketch can be trimmed using Trim entities
Extend Entities: - Enables to extend a line or an arc until next intersection
PART MODELING FEATURES COMMANDS
Feature commands used in this project are as bosses, cuts, and holes. Other sketch-based features such as lofts and sweeps use a profile
Extruded Boss Feature will allow us to take a2D sketch and add thickness and convert it to 3D
Extruded Cut -Itsa tool to remove material by projecting a sketched section
Circular Patters Create copies or instances, in a crcular pattern by giving a circular reference
Linear Patter – Makes copies in a line but desired direction
Curve Driven Pattern - The Curve Driven Pattern tool allows us to create patterns along a planar or 3D curve. To define the patter, we can use
Sketch Driven Pattern - The sketch driven pattern creates copies of existing features and places the wherever we've added a point in a sketch.
Shell- The shell tool hollows out apart, leaves open the faces we select and creates thin-walled features on the remaining faces. I we do not
Edit Feature ~ Edit Feature provides a simple method to change the information used to create a feature. To edit any feature, right-lick the
Revolved Features - Material can be added or removed from a model by using the Revalve command. Revolves add or remove material by
Fillet -Fileting refers to both filets and rounds. The distinction is made by the geometric conditions, not the command isell Files are created
Chamfer tool creates beveled faces. A chamfer, leaflet, is an applied Feature, and does not require you to make a sketch to create the
Section View - Section View cuts the view using one or more section planes.
Mirror - Features can be mirrored about a plane or planar face.
Split - Lines are used to divide model faces into two..
Combine - In a multi body part, we can combine multiple bodies to create a single body. We can only combine bodies contained within one multi body part file. We cannot combine two separate parts.
Dome - It can add one or more domes to the selected planar or non-planar faces. The software calculates the distance using the radius of the arc as a basis for the dome.
Sweeps - Sweeps take a sketch, called a Profile and move it along a Path.
Lofts - Lofts create a solid by connecting a series of loft profiles.
Reference Geometry - Reference geometry defines the shape or form of a surface or a solid. Reference geometry includes items such as planes, axes, coordinate systems, and points.
Project Curve - Select Bi-directional to create a projection that extends on both sides of the sketch. The curve can be used as a path for a sweep.
Composite Curve - We can create composite curves by combining curves, sketch geometry, and model edges into a single curve. Composite curve can be used as a guide curve when creating a loft or a sweep.
Split Line - The Split Line tool is used to project an entity (sketch, solid, surface, face, plane, or surface spline) onto other surfaces or curved/planar faces. We are also able to split faces on multiple bodies with one command.
Assembly Exploded Views - Exploded views are created to make it easier to see how an assembly is put together and to see the parts that are normally hidden from view

RENDERING
In solidworks Rendering can be done in using add-in Photo view 360 and Visualize.
PhotoView 360 is a visualization and rendering solution included with solidworks.
SOLIDWORKS Visuslize:- Provides a suite of standalone software tools that combine industry-Leading rendering capabilities with visual design-Oriented features.
Appearances in photoview 360
Appearances affect the way a surface reacts to light.
Texture Appearances
Texture appearances are applied like wallpaper. During the application, they can be stretched , shrunk, rotated and oriented to make the fit in the surfaces.
Lighting
Lighting is same as the traditional way of adding lights to the scene and environment to make part brighter.
Scenes
This provide us to change the background and environment and adjust them according to our setup.
Decals.
Images such as stickers and logos
Options
Here there is a possibility to arrange the reflections , render quality images , bloom, contour Rendering and Direct Caustics
Conclusion:-
The modelling of American chopper is made use of solid works and real appearance is given using photo view 360
