Final Assembly Model

As one of my allocated tasks I was responsible for collating the various model components into a singular assembly to represent our final modeling output.

The process involved importing everyone's various model components and connecting them by "mating" them together in the assembly. This was an interesting process as I had to think and in some cases research what part joins to what and how the various parts are connected. In some cases the connections didn't work as the parts were simply not compatible, so I simply placed them roughly in position. The whole process involved a lot of tweaking and repositioning of parts to accommodate relationships/connections between parts. Having an assembly model of the bikes components made it clear to identify the clashes within the model.



the most obvious and important clashes is with the drive train and the frame. This is due to the rear width of the Norton frame being smaller than that of the Honda. In order to resolve this problem the drive chain could be offset to the right by at least 12mm, allowing the chain 5mm clearance from the frame, however this would affect the balance of the motor and in turn affect performance.

Another clash is the Swing Arm and frame.As the rear frame dimensions of the bikes differ, the Honda swing arm does not fit within the Norton frame. This could be solved by modifying the frame or using an alternate swing arm (from a Norton).
