Week 12-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge
Objective:- To mesh the given geometry based on the given parameter and create connectors and attach to the various parts of the given model.
Create connectors and attach them to the various parts of the given model:-
1. Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
2. Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements
3. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
4. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)
5. Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
6. Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
7. Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements
8. Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements
9. Rest all the component left Join them with suitable connectors.
Type of CONNECTORS :-
1. Spot:-
* Connection at a point.
* Spot welds, rivets, etc.
2. Bolt:-
* Connection at hole location.
3. Trim mass:-
* Non-physical mass.
4. Seam:-
* Connection along a length.
5. Area:-
* Connection of Areas.
* Adhesives.
Procedure:-
- Import the given truss and rail assembly.
- Set Quality criteria for model
- Mesh the model
Option used :-
2D-automesh
2D-rebuilt
- Create connectors:-
1) 1. Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
This connector can be created from the seam types connectors.
(2D-connectors-seam-type: seam(angled+capped+L)↵tolerance 10↵select components and nodes then create.)
2. Left rail 2 & front truss 1:- Quad elements
It is also connected through seam type of connectors.
3. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
4. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)
5. Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
6. Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
7. Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements
8. Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements
CONCLUSION
Thus the given component is mesh and created conectors under the given quality crireria.
