                                                               AMERICAN CHOPPER

           

OBJECTIVE:

                    Creating an American Chopper Part models and Assemble the Part and Rendering the realistic model view of Chopper bike.

INTRODUCTION:

                    American Chopper Bike are motorcycles featured on the television series American Chopper build by Orange Country Chopper for a specific corporate or celebrity customer.

DESIGNING PARTS OF CHOPPER:

• Transmission Belt
• Kick stand
• Front fender
• Rear fender
• Chain
• Oil tank
• Pedal
• Front wheel
• Rear wheel
• Front fork
• Chassis
• Engine
• Gas tank

TOOLS AND FEATURES USED:

1. Sketch Entities.

• Line, circle, rectangle, arc, slot, spline.
• Convert entities- Create one or more curves in a sketch by projecting an edge, loop, face, curve or set of sketch curves on to the sketch plane.
• Trim and extend- Cut the point over the sketch entity and move the point over the sketch entity to extend.
• Offset-Offset line arc and splines if the original entity change the offset entity also change.
• Mirror- Mirroring is another way that can create copy of an existing object choosing a plane or mirror face.
• Pattern- Create multiple instances of one are more features that can space alone with pattern type.

1. Features.

• Extrude-Extrude is a feature using to convert 2D sketch in to 3D model.        

• Revolve- Revolves add or remove materials by revolving one or more profiles around a ceterline.it can create revolved boss/base, revolved cuts or, revolved surface. the revolved feature can be solid or a surface.

• Sweep- Sweep creates a solid, a cut or a surface feature by moving a profile along a path.

• Loft-loft feature creates a shape by making transitions between multiple profile and guide curves. this tool is very valuable for modelling complex surface.

      

• Plane- Plane is reference for sketching and creating features.
• Curves-Curve as the path or guide curve for a sweep and loft feature, as a parting line for a draft feature.

CREATION OF THE CHOPPER PARTS

1. Transmission belt:

• Sketch=tool→ sketch entities→ line
• Offset=tool→ sketch tool→ offset
• Boss extrude=insert→ boss/base→ extrude
• Fillet-create a rounded internal or external face on the part. selected faces, edges or edge loops (insert→ feature→ fillet)

       

• Belts are mechanical elements used for power transmission without phase shift..

1. Kick stand:

• Loft=insert→ boss/base→ loft
• Dome-it creates a dome that is tangent to the adjacent cylindrical or conical face (insert→ feature→ dome)
• Cut extrude=insert→ cut→ cut extrude
• Boss Extrude
• Fillet

      

• A kickstand is a device that allows to rest a bike in an upright position.

1. Front and rear fender:

     Front fender

• Revolve=insert→ boss/base→ revolve
• Split-use the split feature to create multiple parts from an existing part (insert→ feature→ split)
• Fillet

     

     Rear fender

• Revolve
• Split
• Fillet
• Shell-the shell tool hollows out a part, leaves open the faces you selected, and creates thin feature on the remaining faces (insert→ feature→ shell)

     

• The pressed and formed sheet-metal part mounted over the road wheels of a motorcycle, to reduce the splashing of mud.

1. Chain:

• Extrude
• Fillet
• Circular pattern
• Mirror=insert→ pattern/mirror→ mirror

     

• Chains are more complicated than might expect with up to 116 links in a standard bike chain.
• The chain is actually most crucial link in the chopper model.

1. Oil tank:

• Extrude
• Combine-multiple bodies contained within one multibody part file (insert→ feature→ combine)
• Fillet
• Shell

     

• The main function of the fuel tank is simply to hold fuel.

1. Pedal:

• Extrude
• Fillet
• Revolve
• Dome
• Chamfer
• Linear pattern

     

• Pedal is the external part to attached with chassis to using for rider comfort.

1. Front and rear wheel:

      Front wheel

• Revolve
• Boss Extrude
• Cut extrude
• Cut revolve
• Circular pattern
• Combine
• Fillet
• Chamfer

     

     Rear wheel

• Revolve
• Boss Extrude
• Cut extrude
• Combine
• Cut revolve
• Circular pattern
• Fillet
• Chamfer

      

• A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing.
• The wheel is one of the key components of the chopper model.

1. Front fork:

• Revolve
• Boss Extrude
• Fillet
• Linear pattern
• Cut extrude
• Dome
• Cut revolve
• Curve
• Sweep
• Mirror
• Combine

     

• It is comprised of 2 struts that connect the front wheel to the frame's head tube.
• Front fork look is the identification of the chopper model bikes.

1. Chassis:

• Chopper blue print-A blueprint the template that use for all of drawings for a reference (tool→ sketch tools→ sketch picture)
• curve
• sweep
• mirror
• Boss Extrude
• Fillet
• Chamfer
• Split
• Combine
• Cut extrude

     

• Chassis, also known as 'Frame', is the foundation structure of bike that supports it from underneath.
• The purpose of the chassis is to bear the weight of the car in its idle and dynamic states.

1. Engine:

• Blue print engine
• Boss Extrude
• Fillet
• Revolve
• Circular pattern
• Dome
• Cut extrude
• Chamfer
• Mirror
• Split
• Sweep
• Composite curve

    

• A motorcycle engine is an engine that powers a motorcycle.
• Motorcycle engines are typically two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engines.
• I personally engine part is the so much time for designing.
• In the model I can learn about the sold modelling and curves very much.

1. Gas tank:

• Surface sweep
• Surface trim
• Curve
• Surface loft
• Boundary surface
• Mirror
• Surface knit
• Split line
• Cut sweep
• Fillet

    

• Surface model is an alternative to solid body model.
• Essentially, it's just another tab at the top of the SOLIDWORKS User Interface.
• Surface model is an important tool to have in your box because it not only makes model easier, it sometimes makes model possible.
• Gas tank is the surface model in the chopper.

ASSEMBLY:

• Assembly is the process of combining individual components into one feauture design.
• Can create assemblies using bottom-up design, top-down design, or a combination of both methods.
• Using mates for assembly process.
• Assembly → insert part→ select a base part→ fix the part→ connect all the part using mates→ save the assembly

Mates

• Mates are constraints that hold components together in SOLIDWORKS assemblies.
• Mates has 3 type of standard mates, advanced mates, mechanical mates.
• Standard mates include angle, coincident, concentric, distance, lock, parallel, perpendicular, and tangent mates.
• Advanced mates include limit, linear/linear coupler, path, profile center, symmetry, and width mates.
• Mechanical mates include cam-follower, hinge, gear, rack and pinion, screw, slot and universal joint mates.
• Chopper model mainly using only standard mates.

APPEARANCE AND DECAL:

Appearance

• To add an appearance, select the desired appearance in the appearance tab of the Task Manager.
• Left drag onto the model and hover over what you would like to apply the appearance to.
• Select Face, Feature, Body, Part or Assembly from the selection bar.
• Chopper model I am using metal, rubber and light appearance.

     

Decal

• Apply a decal.
• In the Display Manager, click View Decals, right-click a decal, and select Edit Decal.
• Right-click the decal on the part, click Appearances. and select the decal.

     

Photo view 360

• With a model open, click Tools > Add-In and add in Photo View 360.
• Edit appearances, the scene, and decals.
• Edit lights.
• Edit camera option.
• Edit Photo View Options.

CONCLUSION:

               In this chopper model I am using various type of 2d sketch ,3d feature, assembly tool, appearances, decals, various views and photo real look chopper model.
