Assignment 5-RADIOSS Interfaces & Study of Effect of Notches Challenge
Objectives:
To Create the mesh for bumper assembly, mesh size should be 6mm.
To Run the crash tube model as it is.
To Change the Inacti=6 and run.
To Create the type 11 contact and run.
To Remove both notches and remove boundary condition on rigid body node then run.
To Create a new notch in the middle, select the whole section and run.
To Create a new notch with nodes only from opposing 2 faces and run.
Execution procedure:
- Set the mesh size to 6 in 2D->automesh.
- Perform geometric cleanup remove unnecessary free edges.
- Mesh all the components using automesh and check for the mesh connectivity.
