Abstract

The present research examines the possibility of creating a 3D model of a cyclone for gas-dust particles.
The object of this study is the process of three-dimensional modeling of a cyclone in the Solidworks software environment.
The subject of the research focuses on creating a precise and functional 3D model of the cyclone that reflects its complex geometry and key structural elements in detail.
The main goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive modeling methodology that covers all stages from concept to the final assembled model, effectively utilizing the capabilities of Solidworks.
To achieve this goal, several tasks were set.
A study and analysis of the construction of a standard cyclone were conducted to identify all its parts and their interconnections.
A step-by-step strategy was developed for modeling the individual components, starting with basic elements such as the cylindrical and conical parts, and moving on to more complex details.
Each component was modeled separately, applying appropriate tools such as Extrude, Revolve, and Loft to create complex shapes.
The assembly of all components was achieved in a single, finished 3D model, with the correct mates defined to ensure accuracy.
Technical documentation was generated, including 2D and 3D drawings with dimensions and specifications that can be used for the production of the individual parts.
Realistic visualizations of the model were prepared for a better presentation and analysis.
The completion of these tasks leads to the creation of a complete and detailed 3D model of the cyclone, ready for subsequent simulations or production.
The research allows the created 3D model to be aimed at specialists and non-specialists who are learning 3D modeling, providing them with clear instructions on how to create a complex part with all the necessary functional elements.
