Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

- Aim: Mesh the Given component with the Size of 5mm. Create 1D elements on the following component with given cross-section and DOF.

- Objectives:

- Meshing the given component as per the given requirements.

- Creating 1D elements and formation of rod, bar and beam as per the requirement.

- Method:

- In order to generate the proper surface, all the geometrical errors have to be removed.

- To capture the holes more properly washer has been implemented.

- Rod element:- Translational DOF should be Constrained with RBE2 link.

Cross-Section: BOX- Dimension a= 12 mm

dimension b=10 mm

Thickness t= 0.75 mm

- Beam element:- All DOF should be constrained with RBE3 link.

Cross-Section: I Section- Dimension a= 8 mm

Dimension b= 10 mm

Dimension c= 8.5 mm

Thickness t1= 0.75 mm

Thickness t2= .6 mm

Thickness t3= .6 mm

- Bar element:- Constrain only x and y DOFs With RBE3 link.

Cross-section: X section- Dimension DIM1= 5 mm

Thickness DIM2= 1.2 mm

Dimension DIM3= 10 mm

Thickness DIM4= 1.2mm

	Property has to be assigned to the given components and proper naming has to be done.
A material assignment has to be done.	Steps to create the new cross-section. Hyperbeam is used to generate these cross-sections.
All the dimension are given as per the requirement.	Rectangular section has been formed as per the requirement.
I section is formed along with the dimensions.	Proper representation of the Beam, Rod and Bar is given which can be seen above. Once the view representation is changed proper section can be seen.

- Learning outcome:

- Taking mid surface, meshing as per the given parameters.

- Assigning property and material.

- Forming the RBE2 & RBE3 connections.

- Formation of a cross-section in the Hyperbeam work environment and assigning the dimensions as per requirement.
