T-Train
Define the Problem
For the Train Project we had to model a miniature train. We were given the dimensions of each part of the train and using those dimensions we had to create the parts. After creating every part, we assembled and colored them.
Generate Concepts
I had to spend some time to figure out the unknown dimensions. Once I figured out what the dimensions were, I used my resources (YouTube) to model the parts.
Develop a solution
Construct and Test Prototype
Evaluate the Solution
My friends agreed with me about having a pretty solid looking train.
Present the Solution
A section view is a view used on a drawing to show an area of an object by cutting away or removing a part of the object. The purpose of a section view is to help the reader completely see and visualize the object. When creating the drawings, you may need to show features in a view to where they look like the actual size and can be dimensioned. Broken views allow you to display pieces of the part on a larger scale so that you can dimension, or show, certain things that make the piece more understandable for the person building it. Symbols are used instead of words to identify hole types because they take up less room, and this is very helpful when you may have 6 or 7 holes on a part and you have to dimension them. Tolerances are very important. We need tolerances because they allow room for error, and error is inevitable. So if we didn't have tolerances then we would have parts that wouldn't come together like they should.
I faced many challenges, mainly with inventor, throughout this project. Sometimes I didn't know what constraints to use and other times the constraints wouldn't work properly. Also for some parts, I didn't know what features to use to create the part. But because of this project I learned many things and acquired many new Inventor skills. I learned more about the constraints and where to use them. And I also learned more about the different things that you can use the work planes for. All in all this was a great project that taught me many things.
