Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

Challenge Title: 1D Element Creation Challenge.

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

1. 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

1. 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

1. Bar element:- Constrain only xand 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

1. & e. Apply the massof magnitude 10 with the RBE2 link
2. Join the two components with Spring elements

Software Used: HyperWorks 2022, MS Word.

Solution: The model is attached with the challenge.
