Abstract

Since their introduction, internal combustion engines have been widely used in the automotive industry. As a result, the IC engine's efficiency is always in need of improvement. In the operation of an IC engine, the piston is one of the most crucial parts. In today's industry, the technique for increasing the performance of IC engine pistons is critical. Typical CAD modelling approaches for IC engine pistons are time-consuming because of the complexity of geometry and design calculations. Because of various interrelated plan concerns, a minor change in the size or shape of the IC engine assembly will result in a large chain reaction in computing the associated adjustments. As a result, the piston's CAD model should be updated to reflect the IC engine's changes (s). These problems can be handled by automating the process through CAD modelling techniques such as parametric modelling. This paper provides a foundation for generating a CAD model of an IC engine piston using SolidWorks. A customised GUI was designed in the CAD programme to aid the design engineers in feeding the input data. The solution presented makes use of design data reuse. The modelling and design time for the IC engine piston can be lowered using the proposed method. The recommended approach is also demonstrated in this paper.
