OBJECTIVE: How to create different types of one dimensional elements. Getting familiar with the one dimensional menu bar. PROCEDURE: Creating a Rod element with only translational degree of freedom and RBE2 link - Import the IGES file using the import geometry option under import solver deck tool. To represent the enitre…

TWO DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS MESHING OF THE HOOD Hood is an essential part of the vehicle. It protects the engine and avoid any kind of impacts. In order to meet these requirements, analysis of hood rises as a compulsory step. So the quality of meshing needs to be good and meet the given criteria for an accurate analysis.…

CREATING TETRAHEDRAL ELEMENTS USING HYPERMESH    Tetramesh for housing and hub assembly: - Tetrahedral elements are solid elements which have been extracted from 2-D tria elements. HyperMesh builds 4 and 10-noded tetras. HyperMesh provides two methods of generating a tetrahedral element mesh. The volume…

CONNECTORS Connectors are simply a database of information defining specific requests for connections at specific locations. They are a medium to create both solver independent or solver dependent connections between geometric and FE entities. Connectors are primarily used to create spot and seam welds, but also used to…
