Creating 1D elements on the following component with given cross-section and DOF

• Objective:Creat 1D elements on the following component with given cross-section and DOF

• Procedures:Before entering to the model we want to know about the difference between 1D elements like Rod,Beam,Bar and spring basically

STEP 1:Import the given iges file using import option in the hypermesh

STEP2:Auto cleanup the model using autocleanup option in geometry

STEP3:Extract the midsurface from the given model using the extract option for one bracket after that delete the all solids using delete option,create one more component and create midsurface for other bracket and rename as bracket 1 and bracket 2 as follows

STEP4:We want to assign the second made midsurface to bracket 2 by using the tool organise in the tool option after organizing we can delete the midsurface.

STEP5:Define the material and property and adding that property and material to the specfic brackets and create the wager split for certain offset

STEP6:Do the mesh the midsurface using automesh tool to a specific tatrget length

STEP7:We have to create rbe2,rbe3 link using the rigid and rbe3 tool in 1D option as per the specification and we have to give dof as per the given spec

using the link we have to create rod,beam,bar

STEP8:We have to assign the cross sctions as per the given spec for that we have to select option hyperbeam option from 1D and create the cross section as per the given dimesnion after creating it will be showed as auto in hypermesh

STEP 9:create separate properties for rod,beam and bar and we have to link the crosssections to this specific propertis as shown below.This image is for rod we have to link property for other two also.

STEP10:Enable the tool 1D detailed representation to show th beam,rod and bar

STEP 11:Create rbe2 link for d and e create spring along with that we have to give the masses to d and e using the masses option with the magnitude of 10

STEP 12:Save the file

• Conclusion:

1.Mid surface and all the 1D elements along with the cross section were created as per the given dimesnion

2.As per the given measurement the all the parameters were given and updated properly

like mass,washersplit,meshing,crosssections,links,properties linking etc.
