Tutorial how to make engine part 1
I will generate tutorials that explains how to make car engine step by step
I used random dimensions. I want to explain the commands and the way to make an engine. You can use your dimensions
In this part we will start with connecting rod

Connecting Rod
file: connecting rod
-
Step 1
draw two circles like shown on the front plane
-
Step 2
add two tangent line
-
Step 3
add two more circle
-
Step 4
draw a line and mirror it
-
Step 5
draw a centerline and use trim command
-
Step 6
use fillet command like shown
-
Step 7
go up side and use trim command
-
Step 8
use fillet command again
-
Step 9
extrude the sketch in two directions. (5,5 mm for each way, total 11mm)
-
Step 10
open a sketch on the body and draw a line. make parallel the line with the shown edge
-
Step 11
mirror the line and add this two circle
-
Step 12
Intersect the lines and use trim command
-
Step 13
use trim command and mirror it
-
Step 14
draw two circles and cut the body
-
Step 15
draw two circles more and cut the body again. use offset feature
-
Step 16
draw a sketch on the body like shown
-
Step 17
extrude it 2mm and use mirror command
-
Step 18
now use fillet command
-
Step 19
your connecting rod is ready to use ( create a folder and save into it, firstly we will generate the V12 engine parts )
-
Step 20
from Luis :)

james lenane 8 months agoWell done Luis for the drawing,makes it easier for a lot of people and that is how a lot of parts are done ie from a set of dimensions!
-
Bart Vansteenkiste 11 months agoI don't like sketches with blue lines :( I was able to make it but it's not simple if you're kinda new

i'm a novice on solidworks and i think that it's a good tutorial, easy to perform.
and i did it!!!
thanks a lot for this !!!
i think i'll do the next step !! -

That would be really helpful if you continue the tutorial on how to make engine.
Thanks Aykut! -

MANOJ GORI about 1 year agoDear all one thing I can not understand here you have drawn one hole worth 5 mm here after than you have drawn 7mm hole and both the holes has been extrude cut through out from their so you have shown both holes in drawings so how it is possible??
-
-
praneeth about 1 year agoHello aykut, are there any drawing files of the dimensions?
can you upload them too... that would be very helpful for us to follow up with the dimensions.... I want to make an engine.
Thank you-
Aykut Dana about 1 year ago
I used random dimensions Praneeth, you should download the part file and check the dimensions
-
Aykut Dana about 1 year ago
you can use your dimensions. only take notes of the dimensions. Then think that which dimensions connected with each other. Continue in this way and find the other lengths. That was exactly what I did

Manas Patnaik about 1 year agoThe tutorial was really helpful. I am looking forward for more of this

Very nice tutorial so far after i enjoyed creating the first part, I assume the last fillet around the edge of the connecting rod was 0.5mm? that's what i used
-
Vaibhav Pattani 9 months ago
The filleting part is confusing.
The given file mentions something else compared to the tutorial...
Corrections to that section would make it easier =)Great job on the tutorial (Y)
-
fernando tomokame 8 months agonice tuto, in step 6 when i try to fillet , the system tell me its not possible becouse specified radius would eliminate one of the elements.
some know how to resolve, thanks

one question to inventor users,when the crank has been built you can go in and turn the journals to the degs that they need to be,now you cant do that in inventor unless you made one piece and brought it in to the assembly files,any other way of doing it or should I just model the crank in a part file and make the changes there so its all one solid,ie just do it by constraining the sketch in the first place,built the whole crank and then found I could not change the angles in the part file or can I???

Allah razı olsun kardeşim. ben kimya mühendisiyim, hobi olarak uğraşıyorum Solid ile.
Böyle uluslararası platformlarda sizin gibi yetenekli kardeşlerimizi görünce gurur duymamak içten değil.
İnşallah ben de çizmeyi deneyeceğim bu parçayı...

How come is the extrude of 11mm and in the drawing it shows thickness = 15mm ? Other than that , thank you very much... I'm using this to get some knowledge about combustion motors as I'll be introduced to them in a couple months in thermodynamics II.

Well done Aykut. Very detailed tutorial. I am encouraging you to prepare other tutorials for Sheet Metal an for Welding for example.. Congrats !!!

Andre Reuter 11 months agoi didn't understand the step 12. i can't intersect the lines.
-
james lenane 8 months ago
If you look at the blue lines in the con rod their not touching the circle at the top or bottom of sketch,just extend these to the circles and then you can use the trim command,I use Inventor but a sketch is the same in most software,your just generating a 3D part from a 2D sketch,let me know how you get on....James

These tutorials look great and are detailed. Btw would you happen to know where I can find detailed dimensions for engine parts so that I can accurately model them?
-
Ermidis Grigorios 8 months agoI am fairly confident you can't find technical drawings for all (or even some) parts of the same engine. I am actually thinking of making a big uni project of my one for modelling a real engine!!
-
Alain Di Zeo 8 months ago
I haven't been very successful in finding any specs other than bores and strokes. I ould assume the best strategy would be to use eye judgement to determine the approximate size of components. I am primarily looking for ways to model more complex parts (like an intake manifold). Thanks for the comment Btw that sounds like an interesting project Ermidis. I would like to know how that project is going and if I am of any assistance.
-
-
Alain Di Zeo 4 months ago
Also I would like to know if you have created tutorials for the intake manifold and if you could post them if you have, thanks.

Jody Boston 7 months agoHello, very happy I have found this tutorial, thanks.
I done everything for this one apart from somewhere between step 12 & 13 where I cannot figure out how to mirror the groove shape into the opposite side?
Any help would be great...thanks.
-
james lenane 7 months ago
Jody you need a plane running through the middle of the con rod to mirror it to other side,when I say running through the middle I mean straight through the two bolt holes and up to the top(that direction),pick the feature to mirror ie the cut into the rod and use the that plane as your mirror plane and it will come out on the other side,if I was showing you,you'd have it done in seconds.

First of all Hi!My name is George and i have to say that i am newbie with solidworks so i have some questions. Why my sketch brings out some yellow lines when i trim in step 5 and 7?I do exactly what you show but i still get this lines. I do it over and over and the yellow lines is still there.i dont know if i dont do something right but i rly wanna do this tutorial.i cannot extrude and i believe this is from the yellow lines..i get an error that says "sketch contains more than one open contour"......... Plz any help it would be great. P.S.1. I get this yellow lines in tangents. P.S.2. I am from greece so i am sry about my bad english.

Hey, I'm doing this in AutoCAD 2013, and I can't seem to figure out Step 6 for the Fillet. I'm new to AutoCAD so if anybody could please tell me how to do that step I would be very grateful, Thanks.

I am afraid you can't get something like that. I looked into that myself and I think it is due to copyright issues etc.

Sorry man these companies don't give these dimensions out at all. Your best bet is to use pictures to guess the dimensions. I have had the same problems.
