Midsurface of Parallel Bracket and creating 1D elements
- Press F2 and select lines from the panel and select displayed and it will delete all the unnecessary lines.
- Go to mid surface option and extract the mid surface and delete the original two solid components.
- Go to 1D>rigids and create a rbe2 link with only translational DOF for both the components at the given circular locations \'A\'.
- Go to rbe3 create a rbe3 link with all DOF for locations \'B\' and only x and y DOF for the location \'C\'.
- Go to Hyperbeam and create the cross-sections for the rod, beam and bar components respectively
- Right-click on the Model area and create three properties for rod, beam, and bar and respectively change the card image relating to them.
- Now we have to assign the properties to the respective elements.
- Go to rods>update Elem type = CROD and select the property as ROD
- Go to Bars>update Elem type = CBEAM and Cbar respectively and check the boxes property and local axis.
- Create an RBE2 link for the circular sections d and e and go to masses. enter a value of 10 and select Elem types as CMASS1 and create.
- Go to 1D>springs and create a spring between two nodes on both ends of the components connecting each other.
