From the engine to the gearbox.

*

*Create this transmission belt used features and tool are used

1.Sketch

2.Offset

3.Fillet

4.Appearances

*Sketch

Sketch is a two dimensional representation of the model with respect to the plane and view from the outside of the model in solidwork there are different sketch option available in solidwork .line,arcs,and splines,circles,rectangle this entities are available in solidwork.

*Offset

Offset one or more sketch entities , selected model edges, or model faces by a specified distance . example, you can offset sketch entities such as splines or arcs ,sets of model edges ,and finite lines,arcs,and splines

*Extrude

Convert 2d sketch to 3d model.

*Fillet

Fillet/round creates a rounded internal or external face any part faces fillet all edges.

*Appearances

Model colours to used the each of colours.

*how to create a model of transmission belt.

First solidwork software opened and than clicked a new part file and create a new model

Afterthat plane name are edit example,

Front plane – front plane transmission belt

Top plane –    top plane transmission belt

Right plane –   right plane transmission belt

Than,the front plane is selected to sketch

The 2d sketch is created in the front plane and dimension ,relations are given to the sketch to fully define a sketch .

After this process the sketch is closed than the extrude command is used to convert 2d to 3d than fillet apply and than saved the model is transmission belt.

2.Kickstand

The kickstand is knows as side stand of chopper model.

Sketch

Loft

Dome

Extrude boss

Extrude cut

Fillet

Appearances

*Loft

The loft is a solidwork feature tools its used to interpolating surfaces between various cross section of a model .these cross-section can be sketch ,faces ,or edges in the loft interface ,these cross-section are consider loft base profile

*Dome

Solidwork provides a tool called dome that you can create domes on 3d parts are shapes . selected one or more planer and non planer faces. You can apply domes to faces whose centroid lies outside the faces. The allows you to apply domes to irregularly shaped contours

*Extrude boss

An extruded boss/base feature will allow you to take a 2d sketch and add thickness to it in the third dimesion

3.Front fender

Fender is a body that frames the wheel well .its primary purpose is to prevent sand ,mud, rocks, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tyre.

LOFT SURFACE

Loft surface are surfaces generated by multiple 3d curves or existing edges creating a smooth tangency between the selected curves.

SURFACE TRIM

Primarily used to cut away material from a surface and provides two modes standard and mutual.

SURFACE KNIT

Surface knit is used to knit the two free edge/open edge of the surfaces together.also it reduces the gap between the two edges of the surface.

ASSEMBLY OF CHOPPER

Assembled the parts of the chopper using relation,standard mates(coincident,parallel,tangent,perpendicular,etc) advanced mates (symmetric,width,angle etc.) and mirroring plane orientation /alignment was taken care of while performing the mating.

Some parts like kickstand and front fork needed a limiting angle which was set while applying mates . some parts had to be edited to avoid any bad geometry from showing up in the assembly.

REAR VIEW OF THE ASSEMBLY

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF THE ASSEMBLY

FRONT VIEW OF THE ASSEMBLY

RENDERING

Rendering the model was done using photoview 360 in solidworks

Decal were applied in the case of oil tank ,gas tank and rear fender during the final model rendering stage.

PHOTOVIEW 360(SOLIDWORKS ADD-IN)

Rendering using photoview 360 involved setting the scene,environment,camera,perspective and light adjusting various parameters

CONCLUSION

Thus,the exterior parts of an American chopper were designed modelled and assembled using solidworks 2020 and 2021 and 2022 .
