Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

Aim:To prepare Model with MidSurface Meshing and 1D-Element Connections using HyperWorks2021.

Procedure:

• Import IGS Model into HyperWorks
• Make Washer Split at Hole Areas With Offset Value of 5 Using Tool GEOM->Quick Edit->Washer Split
• 
• Generate MidSurface Using Tool GEOM->MidSurface
• Create MID Surfaces Seperately in New Components and Assign Name to Them
• 
• 
• Perform Meshing Using Tool 2D->AutoMesh->With Target Length of 5Units
• 
• Arrange Meshing with Good Mesh Flow
• 
• Create RBE2 & RBE3 Clusters w.r.t Hole and Washer Zone Area
• To Create RBE2 Elements Use Tool 1D->Rigids->Multi Nodes
• 
• To Create RBE3 Elements Use Tools 1D->RBE3->Multi Nodes
• 
• Using Tool 1D->HyperBeam->Standard Section Type->Standard I Section BEAM Create I Section With Given Parameters
• 
• Similarly Create ROD with Hollow Box Section using Given Parameters
• 
• Similarly Create BAR with Cross-Section Using Given Parameters
• 
• These Sections Can be Viewed Using HyperBeam View Tool Located at Tool Bar.
• Create New Properties for Bracket_1&2 with Card Image of PSHELL
• Create New Property for BAR with Card Image of PBAR & Assign Material & BAR in BEAM Section
• 
• Similarly Create New Property for ROD with Card Image of PROD & Assign Material & ROD in BEAM Section.
• Similarly Create New Property for BEAM with Card Image of PBEAM & Assign Material & BEAM in BEAM Section.
• Assign the MASS of magnitude 10 with RBE2 Link.
• Create Spring Element Using Tool 1D->Select->Confirm
• 
• To Visualize the Sections and Mid Surface in Proper Way turn on
• 1D Detailed Element Representation
• 
• 2D Detailed ELement Representation.
• 
• Final Images of Model in Different Views
• 

Conclusions:

• Learned how to Generate Mid Surface for Uniform Thickness Models
• Learned how to generate Mesh
• Learned how to Create 1D Elements with Section Models with Given Parameters
