Two stroke engine | design & simulation
_______________________________________________________________________________________
This project involved designing and modeling a fully functional two-stroke engine in SolidWorks to demonstrate advanced mechanical design and simulation skills. The design process focused on creating precise sub-assemblies, detailed engineering documentation, and a functional motion study to visualize the engine’s operation.
Deliverables
Each sub-assembly was carefully documented with exploded Bill of Materials (BOM) drawings specifying the weight of individual components. The final assembly included a detailed drawing with general dimensions and an exploded BOM highlighting the total weight and center of mass. To ensure the engine functioned as intended, a motion study was created to simulate its operation, clearly demonstrating the synchronized movement of pistons, crankshafts, and connecting rods.
Skills and Techniques Demonstrated
This project showcased expertise in advanced SolidWorks modeling, including creating intricate assemblies with precise tolerances. Engineering documentation was developed to communicate critical design details for manufacturability and analysis. Additionally, the motion study validated the design by simulating real-world functionality, ensuring proper alignment, clearance, and synchronization of internal components.
FINAL
________
Result
The completed design achieved a realistic, fully functional assembly that could be visualized in both static and dynamic forms. A rendered animation of the engine’s motion highlights how internal components interact during operation, offering clear insight into the mechanics of the two-stroke cycle. The motion study further validated the design’s feasibility by accurately simulating its function under real-world conditions.
