Photo Realistic Rendering
Modelling American chopper
Objective :-
To create the Model of a American chopper in Solidworks using the various types of sketches and the features tool form the solidworks. Also create photorealistic rendered image of American chopper.
Introduction :-
American chopper it is made by using different parts which model separately and then assembled in solidworks assembly layout. Parts list as below :-
- Transmission belt
- Kickstand
- Front fender
- Rear fender
- Oil Tank
- Pedal
- Chain
- Front Wheel
- Rear Wheel
- Front Fork
- Chassis
- Engine
- Gas Tank
Design methodology / approach
I have use the Bottom-up design approach which is the traditional method. We first design and model parts, then insert them into an assembly and use mates to position the parts.
1. Transmission belt :-
A belt drive is a transmission system that uses a flexible strip to transfer power. The turning disk is connected by a belt drive to the electric motor.
Tools/ Features used :-
Sketch tool :- Use to creates the 2d drawing.
Fillet :- It creates a rounded internal or external face on the part.
Boss Extrude :- To creates the extruded features.

2. Kickstand :-
It is metal rod attached to a bicycle or motorcycle, lying horizontally when not in use, that may be kicked into a vertical position to support the vehicle when it is stationary.
Tools/ Features used :-
Sketch tool :- Use to creates the 2d drawing.
Fillet :- It creates a rounded internal or external face on the part.
Boss Extrude :- To creates the extruded features.

3. Front fender :-
A fender is essentially a covering for your bike tires that protects you from the rain. Riding with fenders will prevent the rain from splashing a streak of muddy water up your back, over your shoes and on your face.

Assembly :-
In the assembly we add the parts one by one and giving them mates to place in the assembly.
Mates :-
In the assembly of the we use some mates to get proper position of the part in the model some of them are follow :-
1. Coincident mates
2. Concentric mates
3. Distance mates
4. Tangent mates
5. Parallel or Perpendicular mates
6. Symmetry mate
7. Width mate

Conclusion :-
All the parts of the American Chopper were modelled and assembly was created using the solidworks and by using the photoview 60 and SOLIDWORKS Visualize rendering is done.
