helicopter model using solidworks
1. First select front plane as reference then create a sketch like below shown to generate Cockpit.
2. Then extrude the sketch both sides of the created plane.
3. Then make shell with 2 mm thickness.
4. Now create tall boom shape using extrude feature (use draft angle).
  • 5. Now add material by using extrude feature for rotor mast and create Rudder.
  • 6. Now draw a rectangle on front face then remove material using extrude cut feature.
    7. Now create rotor shaft shape using extrude feature.
    8. Now create rotor blade on top surface of rotor shaft. Then make circular pattern of the rotor blade as 4 wing's.
  • 9. Now create another tail rotor shaft and tail rotor blades like shown below by using extrude and circular pattern feature.
    10. Now create remaining landing skid by using sweep and extrude features.
    11. Finally complete the helicopter as single part looks like below.
    12. Line diagram of the helicopter views like front view, side view, top view and isometric view, shown below.

    Isometric drawings for practice in AutoCAD

    What is Isometric Drawing? Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It allows for a clear and comprehensive depiction of complex structures by keeping the scale consistent and eliminating distortion. Isometric drawings use a 30-degree angle from the horizontal in all three axes (X, Y, and Z), creating a pseudo-3D effect where the height, width, and depth are equally foreshortened. Creating Isometric Drawings in AutoCAD AutoCAD provides tools and settings that make creating isometric drawings straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Set Up Isometric Snap/Grid 1. Enable Isometric Snap/Grid:    - Type `SNAP` in the command line and press `Enter`.    - Type `Style` and press `Enter`.    - Choose `Isometric` and press `Enter`. 2. Switch Between Isoplanes:    - Type `F5` or `CTRL+E` to toggle between the top, right, and left isoplanes. Step 2: Draw Isometric Circles and Arcs 1. Isom...

    Welding VIVA question and answers

    VIVA QUESTIONS : Q1: Define welding? Ans:  Welding is a fabrication process that joins two or more materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by melting and fusing them together using heat or pressure. Q2: What is the typical thickness of MS Plate used in general welding workshop experiments? Ans:  The thickness of the MS (Mild Steel) plate used in general welding workshop experiments can vary depending on the specific requirements of the experiment. However, commonly used thicknesses range from 3 mm to 12 mm. Q3: What is the common job material used in welding experiments? Ans:  The common job material used in welding experiments is mild steel.

Ans:  The main function of an electrode in welding is to carry the electric current necessary for the welding process and to ...

    The Motion-Balance System used in Pneumatic Instruments

    The motion - balance system is used in pneumatic instruments to produce a proportional output of 3 - 15 psi when a corresponding input signal is applied to the instrument. A typical motion-balance system in a pneumatic instrument is shown below: The above diagram shows a motion-balance system in which the input motion is applied to point P on the lever PQ. The opposite end (Q) of this lever is pivoted to a second lever QRS which in turn has point S pivoted in a lever positioned by movement of the feedback bellows. At the center (R) of the lever QS there is a stem on which one end of the lever RTU is supported while it is pivoted at point U and has a flapper nozzle sensor located at point T. A horizontal displacement which causes P to move to the left is transmitted via Q to R, and as a result the flapper at T moves off the nozzle so that the back pressure falls. This change is amplified by the pneumatic relay so that the pressure in the feedback bellows falls and the lever carrying t...

    STRESS STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF MILD STEEL BAR BY UTM

    Aim: To study the stress strain characteristics of mild steel by Universal Testing Machine Equipment: Universal testing machine meter rule, dividers and scale, Test specimen Theory: In tension test of ductile metals, the properties usually determined are yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, percentage of elongation etc. For brittle materials only compressive strength is determined. The tension test is normally carried out in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The specimen can be in the form of a rod or a plate. The dimensions of standard specimen can be known from accepted specifications. The following properties can be determined from the stress strain curve of the material: Proportional limit: is that point on the stress strain curve at which the curve deviates from linearity, i.e. from the relation Stress = Young's modulus x strain $\sigma = E \varepsilon$ Elastic limit: is the point on the stress strain curve above which plastic de...
